I have booked a vacation week found on VRBO . They confirmed that I should pay the full amount to the booking agent and 100% refund .A week later the agent removed the property from VRBO and I can no longer get in touch to get my refund .VRBO is responsible for me booking the property in the first place and now I am left trying to get a refund and no response from the booking agent . VRBO is helping people scam us and I find that deplorable . I will not be booking again if I get no help recovering my money Be aware .After the standard response that you see from VRBO as to them just being a platform …. The same unit is back on their site and is going to scam another innocent traveller. I am in contact with VRBO and so far the site remains . How is that ethical .Please beware of all these platforms and never pay outside them as they sometimes recommend.
