I am stringing him along at the moment but its the old "My company will pay you all the money by cheque for the rental plus flights, you cash the cheque and send me my flight money". I just have not seen this particular one before, well not somebody who can spell for a start.

Hi Quillan,

Maybe you need to amend your text above, as it slightly implies you are locking *this* thread.

Ooops, thanks for that.

[Araucaria]

It seems he can't spell his own Christian name, though.

[Wilko]

So Quillan why not take the cheque and see if it produces cleared funds ?

Q should be very careful on this one as the scammers might be gay and he would then be sued for discrimination against gay scammers!

Other grammatical mistakes highlighted in red, though I suppose Micheal could be spelled like that, would indicate his spelling might be OK, but his grammar is not.  Since he's meant to be American, would give me considerable pause for thought (for thought read - distrust!)

Oh I don't know, there's some form of perverse pleasure when you get a very homophobic couple stay sleeping in the same bed that the week previously was occupied by a couple of the same gender. I know your only joking Wooly but I love the sound of the bell on my cash register, it's music to my ears, the more music it makes the happier I am and my cash register is definitely not homophobic nor is it racist nor does it only prefer one type of religion. Come one come all is it's favorite tune and I love it. [;-)]

Good for you, Q.

On the other hand, as a consumer - I guess I'd better make sure that I use the spellchecker when booking accommodation in future if poor spelling is going to single me out as a scammer.[:-))]
