Complaint Review: James Nello from Vacation Rentals

I have been ripped off by this man! He owes me over US$5000.

I enquired about renting a house through VBRO and started liaising with James Nello. I paid him a deposit diretcly to his company Vactaion Rentals bank account and then paid the remaining amount. A total of over $5000! I then cancelled the booking and the owner of the property told him to refund me the full amount and he never did. Not a cent! Then he had the nerve to make up excuses and lies for the next 12months as to why he could not pay me. He even said that it was VBRO that had to refund me, even though I never paid them a cent, i paid him directly. 

VBRO should ban him and everyone should be aware and not use him so they dont have to go through 12months of excuses and lies like I have had too. 

This was my hard earnned savings that I was using to rent a house for a very special holiday. I want to cry every time I think about it. i feel so stupid for letting someone like James Nello and Vaction Rentals fool me.

I will happily remove this comment if he pays me what he owes me but after already 12months I am not holding my breath.
