Lisa Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi Kong,I second that. Delete it fast. It a new scam, I have also had the same sort of thing but they said they were from London, otherwise the wording was almost the same.rgdsLisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 It's odd isn't it that in these scam type emails you can forgive the slightly odd English (.... just got wedded..) but then they take great pains to say that the booking is cast iron and will be paid for by X. That and the bookings seem to be for improbable times of year.Oh well, let's hope for the sake of those of you running B&B etc that they never cotton on ...

Kong Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 We did respond with a little information. Soon after we had the big phish full of give-aways ('My company is paying for our honeymoon' = 'my accounts department will be making the payment in full'), request for bank details and the usual poor grammar. We responded that they should go and phish elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 IMHO it's best not to reply to this type of email.Do have a look on www.laymyhat.com/forum you will find there is a lot of very useful information for B/B and gite owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
