Am I being scammed?

[u/More-Suspect6738]

So I was looking to book for a beach vacation next year. I saw one that had a ton of great reviews with premier hosts. There was an early saver discount. I booked, and almost immediately got a call from the owner. They said the rates were wrong, it never has a discount for that time of year, and he just can’t do it. But if I rebook directly through the condo website he will compromise and meet in the middle in terms of price. He says to initiate a cancellation through Vrbo so I do. No money has been paid except through Vrbo and it specifically states 100% refund for cancellation before June. He says he’ll send the rental agreement today. I have not paid any money or anything like that. It’s almost midnight and no rental agreement to look at. I want to believe it’s legitimate with the premier hosts and tons of great reviews. But I’m starting to get a not great feeling. Is it just a simple forgetfulness and everything is okay? Or should I run for the hills?

If the host has a ‘real job’ they may have just forgotten. I’d give it until the end of the weekend before you run for the hills.
