Lachouette Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Bin 'em! They've all the hallmarks of a scam and after a few months of being open you'll be used to the many variations on this theme, plus the ones in French from holiday makers on the Ivory Coast desperate for a long stay in 'your place'.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have lots of dosh as he takes loads of holidays. [;-)]Our local 2*hotel asked me to confirm that their translation of Dr Steve's email was correct, at which point I said that his name seemed familiar and, after researching, told them that it was a scam. They were bemused but, fortunately, had not replied to his request.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water rat Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Usually if they give you a date ,then say ,but any date will do! I kept one going for a while with offers of transport to the conference venue as our place is so isolated,but of course they were reluctant to do this and only keen on sending the over-priced cheque. They gave up before I did!W Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
