Post scam emails to warn other rental owners, or if you are not sure if an enquiry is genuine, put it up here and see what others think.

I wouldn't have bothered listing this as it follows the usual format ie sent to undisclosed recipients, asking about a date already booked but being flexible about dates.... (Yawn!).

The interesting thing was though when I looked at the email address was an attempt to be convincing by using an email address which was "....uk.gov@gmail...."

However, they still didn't get this correct, but it might, just might make someone new to holiday letting someone think it was from someone respectable.

New to letting or not, why would anyone think that someone with a uk.gov email addy was remotely respectable? :wink:
