Q: What is phishing? And what should I do if I receive a request via email for my HomeAway password?
A: Phishing is an e-mail and Internet scam designed to steal your identity by requesting your username, password or credit card details.   

Beware of fake emails and web sites. They look very similar to the HomeAway website and emails and contain links to pages that request you sign-in and submit password or credit card information.  If you receive or suspect you have received an email, do not click any of the links or respond to it.   Please forward all suspicious emails and websites to spoof@homeaway.com.
