Is it safe to Zelle or ACH the funds for a vacation rental that is not verified and protected on Redweek? The listing does not take credit cards.

Do you have a formal contract? Do you know the identity, address and phone number of the advertiser? Have you had any direct phone conversation with this advertiser? Has the advertiser provided you with any documentation proving their ownership of the unit / week being advertised and offered for rent?

If the answer to any (or all) of the above questions is “no”, in my opinion you definitely should NOT be sending money to this advertiser by the non-refundable means you have mentioned. Once you send that money by those methods, it’s gone — so make very sure that you know exactly who you are dealing with.

Forewarned is forearmed.
