Hi,
We rent out our villa via Owners Direct. We have had some problem this year regarding the advert, so have been in contact with OD - all now resolved.
However, we then received an email purportedly from them in the following terms:
As part of our standard quality control procedures, your account has
been selected for further review. Before we can proceed with
publishing your listing, we will need a bit more information from you.
If you are the owner of the property, we ask that you please provide
us with the following information:
1. A copy of your photo ID (both sides of your driver's license or passport)
2. A copy of a deed of sale and title deed
3. An original gas, telephone or other utility bill for the rental
property dated within the last 3 months
If you manage or represent this property on behalf of the owner, we
ask that you please provide us with the following information:
* Full company name
* Registration # or VAT ID or if a sole trader a faxed copy of
identification of a named key contact
* List of the key contacts within the organisation
* A signed letter from the key contact outlining they have the
right to market the properties on behalf of the owner.
* A copy of the lease agreement you have signed with the owner(s).
The sender of the email was described as
From: OwnersDirect.co.uk <no-reply@holidays-bookings.com>
We have spoken to Owners Direct today who tell us that this is NOT their email and they have NOT requested this information from us.
In short it is a scam.
Please beware
Regards
Tim
