VRBO Rental Scam? How This Number Tricks Hosts!
Summary — +13137574754
Expert Opinion
It’s odd how the same number keeps swapping aliases—Joseph Park, Scott Wilson, Josh Michaels, even William Jeff—yet the script never changes: a bogus VRBO booking and a fake company check. The pattern screams a classic rental‑scam con, using personalized details to lure hosts into forwarding money or personal info. If you get a request for payment via check, especially from an unverified traveler, hang up and verify through the official platform. Never share your address or sign a check without confirming the guest’s identity. Block the number and report it to VRBO and your phone carrier to cut the chain.
