Another fake rental website www.rentholidaysvillas.com promising properties for dream prices that simply don't exist!

Real name of Villa Gomez listed this website at 5000 GBP/ week is "The Villa Eagle" and the prices are from £25.000 - £40.000 per week and www.rentholidaysvillas.com as a scam site offer this villa at only 5000£ without owner consent !!!!!

The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity. No phone number provided on website.

Domain Age: 54 Days - and they have many fake reviews for listings from 2016!

Have just found this post after becoming suspicious seeing "Villa Adele" in Ibiza listed as "Villa Echo" for considerably more money on other, more well known sites.

This is after sending a passport scan as proof of ID :cry: thankful that we realised before paying anything. Will be keeping an eye out for identity fraud.
Reported to the police through the Actionfraud website, hopefully they'll get shut down before more people fall for this.
