Any previous?
Derik wants to know the price for our house for the whole of May or, alternatively, May to December 2011
Came thro' pureholidayhomes and, inevitably, he's based in Florida.
Anyone had anything similair

Us too - he's been busy.
It is better to remain quiet and have one think you are stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt....
The biggest mistake we make in life is thinking we have time.

We got it too. Do we think it's the usual money-laundering scam then ?

I've just had an update from pureholidayhomes on this ---
they now think that both this and the Richard Quest scam are to initiate direct email contact prior to following up with pfishing scams to gain personal info to hack both email & bank accounts etc
