Always a risk but with personal rentals you want to vet the person is real, get the reservation email from the member, add it to your MDE, and then go through with payment.
Also contact them via actual email because emails are also another track mechanism to possibly see how far back that email exists.
Finally you can see if they own DVC as well at least for WDW pretty easily if you have their name and it's under their name.
Sucks that scammers exist. Partly why I dislike that Facebook went away from school email verified accounts only a long time ago. While you had creeps it was harder because emails mapped back to actual school accounts which could be tracked easier.
