I should of posted this sooner and I really hope no one on here got scammed by this person, but whatever you do, stay away from Fineline Villas or FLV Orlando Fineline Villas.
Long story short... the guys who runs those (Jorge Gomez) will take your money and give you bogus codes to get into the condo/house. When you get there and punch them in, they won't work! We were going to rent from him this past Feb, but thankfully VRBO informed us that it wasn't legit right before we were going to send him the balance. We ended up canceling and he said we would mail our deposit back, but it's been 6 months and nothing yet.
According to ripoff Reports He has been scamming people since 2004. I just wish I would of seen that website before I mailed him our deposit.
If you want to hear from a couple more of his victims, you can read about it here on my blog.
Edited to add: If you have a condo/house that you rent out, beware as well because he will call you to see if he can put his renters in your place and then won't pay you either.
2nd edit to add... I just wanted to share that on my blog today I had a Janet write that she also was scammed by George, but with a last name of Edwards! So now he is changing his name!
She also owned a villa he was suppose to be renting out for his tenents for 5 weeks and never paid!
So be aware of a Jorge Gomez, George Gomez, and now a George Edwards!
3rd update!! Just found out Mr. Gomez started ANOTHER website so stay away from Vacation Villages 4 rent as well!
So stay away from the following websites....
http://www.finelinevillas.com/
http://flvorlando.com/
http://www.vacationvillages4rent.com/
4th update!! The above websites are no longer, but I did find him tonight on Craigslist. Right now he is going after owners, so if you are an owner.. BEWARE!!! That and he is now selling Personalized Nutritional Supplements.
5th update!! I just got the following comment on my blog and wanted to share! (at least I saved 1 person from a major headache)
I am a villa owner and have recently been contacted by a George Gomez. Here is the contact info. GEORGE GOMEZ

Thank you so much for your warnings. He wanted to rent out our villa and it sounds like we would never have been paid. It is very important to us that our guests have a great vacation and I research anyone we deal with. Hopefully other vacationers and villa owners will read and heed your warnings. I feel so badly for people who have had their vacations ruined and villa owners who also have been scammed.
