Hello All, I am brand new to Redweek as a timeshare renter. So far, I have backed out of one transaction because the owner wanted me to Venmo $1600 first, without a written agreement/contract of any kind. She did send me a picture of her first name only, unit number, blurred-out confirmation number on a reservation from the resort. Was this sufficient info prior to sending $$? I wasn't sure, so I backed out. Now, I again find myself in talks with another owner who wants $1800 via Venmo first before adding my name to the reservation. Quite a leap of faith, no? So I ask owners: Do you ask renters to send money first? And if so how do you assure renters that you are legit? Thank you.
