Prestige Travel- Algeria

Post by Holiday Almeria »

An enquiry initially from Homelidays from a Mr. Aissat (prestige_voyage@yahoo.fr) and also using* (prestige-voyage@tourismes.com). He is in Algeria and is an agent acting for a newly married couple.

I had the initial enquiry yesterday. This has turned into 2 telephone calls on my home landline and a long Skype conversation/ messaging. I can't find any info on the business, or anything on the email addresses. The mail has originated on a Yahoo.co.uk ip address, but could that be because he was using a Yahoo account and it has routed via UK? The Skype information is all registered as Algeria and there is a Prestige Voyage in the country.

Now, I am smelling a rat somewhere, but could it be on the level?

Anyone else received a booking from this person?

Thanks

Mark

* Not so worried about the different address as I sometimes get mixed up with my addresses when replying to people.
