NumberLover, I tried PMing you about this, but since my account is new, I'm unable to send a PM message.

The santacruzbeach.rentals phone number, email, website and business is legitimate, so I'm not sure why you're saying it's a type of scam. Is there a reason why you listed it as so? Perhaps you could remove this number from this site?

Your site is listed here as spammers as you seem to think that spamming forums is a legitimate marketing method - looks like you've learned the hard way that it isn't. I won't be removing NumberLover's post as it is factually correct.

I also took the liberty of changing your username as you seem to be trying to give the impression that you have some connection to this site.

If looks like santacruzbeach.rentals have form for spamming.

From a blog about Japan (I'm fairly sure that Santa Cruz isn't in Japan):
Good day all! I'll be traveling around Santa Cruz, CA via car rental sometimes in . My questions are, is this the best way to move around the country and is it permissable to drive your rental across the boarders? Thanks and travel safe all.

From a thread on Reddit using the same user name as the blog post:
I booked Santa Cruz Vacation Rentals last year and have another booked for next year. No problems at all. Received the discount and both times the vacation rental company had my booking confirmation within hours. http://www.santacruzbeach.rentals/

I was unaware of any spamming that was done and, no, I don't think spamming forums is a legitimate marketing method. Can you point me to evidence of the spamming or an ip address of the person who spammed so I can get to the bottom of what's going on and put a stop to it?

On the topic of my username, I chose that username so that if I was to be put on a junk mail email list, I would know which site it came from ("Dear scamnumbers.blog,") - not trying to misrepresent. Since the site allowed me to choose that as a username, I assumed it was ok.

How ironic - a spammer who is concerned about getting spammed.

The evidence is in my post in the form of the message that was posted on another forum that I am a member of. If you can't remember posting it, perhaps you should speak to whoever it was that you employed to do your marketing or SEO.
