mayday Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hi Received a booking enquiry for 5 weeks in Nov so alarm bells start ringing - BUT, in perfect French with a .fr email address, and for a man and his wife (no secretaries, bridegrooms or other scam alerts). The only thing that set me wondering is the phone number provided. It starts 00 225 45 ******. Thoughts please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdesal Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 One of our secretaries (French) and her late husband (French) lived and worked in the Ivory Coast, ie French Expats, presumably they went on vacation to France and could well have wanted to rent a gite for such a number of weeks. Things may not always be as you may think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
