Hi Everyone,My husband owns a handyman business and in the last week we have gotten text messages (which are not uncommon for our customers), however the 3 texts I am referring to are scams and I just wanted to share with other contractors so that you are aware.Each of the 3 texts started out asking about a specific service our company offers such as one was hardwood floor install, and the third pressure washing, don't remember what the second one was without looking.The first one gave me a red flag when I asked where they found out about our company when they gave me a website our company is not listed on, but I played along to see where they were going with this.

You should realize that is a common scam.

Seems very scam - ish.

From the blogs to the podcasts to the posts, and the ability to ask specific real estate questions and receive fast answers, the resources found here can turn you into a well-versed real estate investor.Most real estate courses, coach sessions, guru seminars are scams, people using their marketing skills to pocket the everyday person's hard earned money.

If you do ad at CL, you may get all scams.

I'm worried there's a scam in the making here.  

google them & find out... vacation rentals yup sounds like a racket for unsuspecting people that won't come back to sue for what they've been ripped off of.. 

But again, check references, google the company, etc Like everything there are some great people to work with, and scam artists so use wisdom. 

Any general warnings/things to look out for if bidding (i.e. lien issues, scams, etc)?

Does what you are hearing evoke the word "scam"?
