This is the same conclusion we came to. Probably legit, but do we really feel comfortable forking over thousands of dollars in cash without any assurances other than someones word who we have never met before?
It's not any cheaper and we were able to locate an alternate property that accepts credit cards and is accredited by the BBB etc.
Thanks for the response.
