investigatingBrand: Vrbo

Fake Vrbo booking site looks identical to the real thing

reservation[.]holiday-vrbo[.]com copies Vrbo branding and presents a fake-looking vacation-rental booking flow. It offers a property listing, a “Book now” button, contact fields, a message-to-host form, and a large deposit. The domain is not Vrbo. Do not enter information or pay through this site.
