24 hours after receiving a VRBO confirmation, HE’s Boulevard Jean Hibert rental has gone south.
This is the second “oops, the owner wants more money!” situation within the last 72 hours.
Likeliest scenario: A greed virus is apparently flying through the Cannes ecosystem right now. In an exact repeat of the two-day-old rue Etats Unis blowoff, the Jean Hibert owner has upped the rental fee by over 1000 euros — 1200 euros to be precise.
It doesn’t make sense for VRBO to deliberately run a criminal fraud operation. They have at least a semblance of legitimacy so why would they offer these Cannes places for rental without proper authorization? Owner greed spasms are the most likely explanation.
