We rented a flat in Israel from Yoav Antman-#12 Emek Refaim St in Jerusalem, Israel 93105 for a week. The owner requested a $700 deposit in advance. We sent the check and it cleared with his signature on it. He claims he never received the check yet he won't send an affidavit confirming his story. Now he wants another $700. This is a total scam and from talking to others it appears this is a regular scam used quite often in Israel. Be careful dealing with Israelis and stay away from VBRO. There is no way to get our money back but VBRO should remove him from their web site.
