Spring Break, VRBO, reminder to always call the owner

I thought it was a good idea
taking 2 of my daughters
and their friends to FLORIDA
so we could visit the oldest

My middle one picked 3 girls
my youngest picked 2
we all got tickets to fly to Tampa

I found a place on VRBO
booked it

then just a few days before leaving
I decided to ask some questions
but
nobody answered the phone
not even a voicemail
and
nobody answered an email

I contacted VRBO
and found out that I had been
SCAMMED

yep
 out of money
and
no place to stay
me
and 7 teenage girls

it wasn't easy
there were tears
and fears
but I finally found a place
for us to stay

hopefully will learn from this experience
either that
or I will just cry
