Expert Opinion

Bottom line: the number +19175630264 is tied to vacation‑rental scams that often use fake checks and FBI impersonations. Callers pose as landlords or officials, pressure you to accept a reservation, and then request a cashier’s check that later bounces. Never send money or personal information to someone you haven’t verified in person or through the official platform. Hang up if the caller claims to be a law‑enforcement officer—real agencies won’t ask for payments over the phone. Block the number, report it to the FTC and the platform where the listing appeared, and share the experience with other hosts to limit future fraud.
