I ran into that same deal. At first they would not even tell me the address of the apt. until I submitted my deposit, and I had to submit in order to even see the apt. I sensed there was something wrong so I didn’t submit, and unsubscribed from the scammer’s other properties. I am so sorry this happened to you. But remember the pattern - can’t see the apt unless you give them the deposit, and they won’t even tell you where it us!

1.) Belonging to a beach club limits the membership to people who can pay, and so there is usually an uncrowded experience at the beach.

2.) Belonging to a beach club is private, so you won’t be required to listen to loud music brought by other beach-goers.

3.) Your beach experience is safer that “just going to the beach”, because entrance to the beach will be limited to members only.

Where did you see it?
