Odd booking enquiry...

[Gemma]

Hi,

I've had an enquiry this am from a guy called Wilfred Keno (see email below). It doesn't sound like your typical booking and obviously I know there are a lot of bogus enquiries made. Has anyone had anything from this one before?

If I received an enquiry like this I wouldn't bother replying.

It screams SCAM to me, and even if it wasn't, do I really want a load of young models who are unlikely to take much care in my house? I think not..!

[la vache!]

It's a scam, there have been a few of these 'model' e-mails, why that should make them more believable I don't know.

... you might end up seeing your house featured in some interesting films though

If I had to write a parody of a scam email this would be it.

Interesting films! That's what my other half said! I don't think he's that lucky
