Here is some helpful tips in avoiding scammers. Scammers can offer a property that is NOT legitimate or they can be guests trying to rent a vacation rental. Even legitimate inquiries from Scammers. Here are several common signs. The message has incorrect or unusual spelling, grammar, capitalization, and/or punctuation. There is far more information provided than usual. There's a request that you communicate offsite. There's a request to pay by certified check, cashier's check, or unsecured wire transfer. Comments don't match your property. How are several suggestion to avoid scammers. To lower your risk from being scammed, we recommend the following policies:
Never accept more than the amount due. Only accept payments online. Overpaying or they request a refud. In a classic overpay scam, the individual will ask to send you a cashier's check or money order for more than is due. BE AWARE The check is counterfeit or stolen. Before your bank realizes this, the individual asks you to send the "overpayment" back. Some scammers send the correct amount but request a refund before the check has cleared. A scammer will book your property and will pay using a credit card, then requests a refund via another payment method. Use caution if you hear these excuses

"Credit cards aren't safe or available where I am." "I was a recent victim of identity theft, so I prefer to pay with a cashier's check." Someone they know is paying, so I need to use a check." A scam can involve an individual impersonating a trusted figure Doctor or member of the military. Intended to manipulate property owners into a false sense of security, this scam is often paired with an overpayment scam. Scammer can tell you that they are arranging a surprise trip for someone else. For example, a friend booking a surprise get-away and they dont know about it and they want to keep it a surprise and will explain why a different name appears on the payment methods. Arrival within 24 hours for a short stay

The traveler books a stay only 24 hours in advance for a short duration. This scam works by allowing fraudsters to stay in your property before your bank even realizes their payment method is fraudulent. They have left before the funds are reversed. Does the pictures display all areas of the vacation rental? Contact us if you suspect that you've received a request from a scammer or you believe that a property does not exist.

Have you ever been on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise?
“The Story of The Sea Dragon & Her Faithful Crew
The “Sea Dragon” Pirate Cruise is locally owned and operated by Capt. “Fearless” Phil and his family, not some larger corporation. He was born and raised in Panama City, Florida, and has spent his whole life on the sea. Prior to purchasing the “Sea Dragon” from his uncle, Capt. “Fearless” Phil worked for 25 years with delinquent teenagers on the ocean. In addition to being your Captain, “Fearless” Phil has been a SCUBA diving instructor, Fist Aid/CPR instructor, and a lifeguard.

“My goal for the “Sea Dragon” Pirate Cruise is to operate a wholesome sightseeing adventure for visitors to the Panama City Beach area. I believe that it is still possible to give our customers a tremendous value for their hard-earned money. I don’t believe that I need to take advantage of people just to make a living. You can count on me to hire top-notch crewmembers and teach them how to provide a safe environment and good, clean fun for you and your family. No one will work harder than the crew of the “Sea Dragon” to earn your respect and your business! I’ll personally see to it!”

Capt. “Fearless” Phil
We love the sea, the oceans, and our Gulf of Mexico. We will never do anything to exploit the Gulf or its inhabitants. Please don’t feed or harass the dolphins. Don’t take live sand dollars or seashells away from their home. Know the fishing rules and regulations and only take what you plan to eat. Don’t pollute the beach or the waters of the Gulf. Especially, don’t tolerate or patronize businesses that exploit this beautiful place we call home. We all make a difference on this earth; help us make a positive one!”
