2. Pocono Lake Vacation Rental Scam


House does not exist. "Owner" sent me a legitimate rental agreement, I sent him a check for rental fee. When I tried to contact him regarding key pick-up and check in, he was nowhere to be found. I should have researched it a little better, but everything seemed legit from my end.

4. Ann Marie Weiss's Rental at 9D Castagnolia


From December 24th to December 27th 2009 we rented this home from Ann Marie Weiss, under the pretense that she is a nice and trustworthy person to rent from. Unfortunately, when the lease came to an end though, these qualities seemed to instantly disappear. We were accused of damages that we had not done, I assume, as a way to steal money from us. Ann Marie and her husband Brian Weiss decided to take advantage of a group of renters that made sure to treat their property just as our own.
Ann Marie accused us of "making the hot tub murky" and went on to deduct $150 from the security deposit to have the water pumped out, despite the fact that while we were there, the hot tub repairman stated that the hot tub has a faulty pump that causes the water to become murky. Now I'm no expert on hot tubs, but I'm not sure it costs $150 to pump out the water, so naturally, before losing $150 on something that may not have been my fault, I asked for an invoice for the work, as well as a statement from the repairman saying that it was indeed our fault. Instead of truthfully determining our fault, Ann Marie and her husband completely ignored us; they did not answer any phone calls, voicemails, or emails. They held our $700 security deposit and refused to talk to us to come to a fair compromise on the matter, despite signing a contract holding them to the return of our money.
Moral of the story? If you see Ann Marie Weiss's rental on Craigslist (where we found her) or any other rental website, BEWARE! To me, it appears that their rental home is just a scheme to STEAL money from innocent people, as they did to me. I write this as a way to protect others from falling into the same trap as I did. Ann Marie Weiss and her husband Brian Weiss appear to be a dishonest, devious, untrustworthy couple that you do not want to rent from, take it from my bad experience.

5. Pocono Resorts Realty Scam


After our vacation was over, we left the house clean and with all itme intact.
Hoever we got a call from the broker next day that one of the TVs was missing. We told the owners and the broker emphatically that we had not stolen the TV. We said that the TV was stolen after we checked out of the house and hence we were not responsible for making good of the TV.
However the owner is simply content of forfeiting our deposit. We asked them to file a police complaint for the theft and let the police investigate. They are not wiling to do even that. The owners tell us they dont have to give us any proof that we took the TV but will still go ahead and keep our deposit.
The brokers are not willing to help us either.
We have now filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania District attorney.
Stay away from Pocono Resorts Realty and owners Juan and Nhora Fernandez. Both have cheated us of our money.
We went for a quiet vacation during a Memorial Day weekend but ended up with a headache
