David & Janet Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I have just received an enquiry from a couple who live on the Ivory Coast, for a 5 week booking. They want to pay by bank transfer and have asked for my details i believe that would be the RIB details, am i safe giving these out? can they do anything bad with the RIB details? Not sure what to doThanks in advanceJanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It sounds very dodgy & the usual scam, so I would say DON'T touch it! A bit like these that have gone beforehttp://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1405359/ShowPost.aspxhttp://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1498710/ShowPost.aspxhttp://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1867639/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 We avoid any bookings that say Ivory Coast, or telephone number 0022 or if they want to book on behalf of someone else or if it is a long booking and they want the full price to send the full payment over.Most of these are either money laundering or scams, just delete them. Sometimes you can tell just by the way they write too.Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
