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.

Possibly another one to be aware of...

Post by MrWilks »

A few days ago we were contacted by an Italian (Liudmila) with a Russian email address. Alarm bells started to ring but you never can really tell, so we started communication with them. After a few emails back and forth they told us they would open a Paypal account to pay us and that we would have to wait a few days more for them to verify it, which usually is the norm. However, after the few days we got an email from them saying that Paypal did not recognise our email address and would we accept payment with Western Union. Needless to say we didn't bother replying!

Luidmila it is a very unusual name for an Italian, BUT there are several Russian woman living here for variois reasons.
Said that, I do not know ANYTHING about PayPal & WU.

If you are receiving funds via WU you have no problem, because it is actual cash...........yep remember that stuff. That's why the scam boys like it so much!
