Agree. Let's see what his reply is but meanwhile, try this? http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?Getlocation
Later ... just had a play - both his email addresses trace back to California: Mountain View and Sunnyvale ... even then, didn't I read somewhere here that there is a clever way to divert your emails to another IP address?
There's this tool as well: http://whatismyipaddress.com/trace-email
Not obviously a scam but...

Yep, that's precisely the one. And yes, like yours, it came in yesterday evening. Well, I won't be holding my breath for a response to my request for his address and phone nr (though a fake one wouldn't be exactly difficult to dream up).pete wrote:Would it be this one ????

Bonjour Madame / Monsieur,
Comment allez-vous aujourd'hui? etc etc
I'll use the email tracker and see what I can come up with. Edited to add: and I came up with the same as GG. Though the timings of his correspondence with me would fit with US time zones. As well as other places in the world!
I see he also wrote to [email address deleted by admin] - from his email header.

So that's Normandy, Sancerre and Provence. Very flexible!
Thanks all. I'll keep you informed. Happily, I've had another enquiry for the dates I had available for him so I'll see if I can convert the new enquiry before he gets back to me.

And he's back.
With an address and phone number. The address is bogus because apart from the spelling of the road name, if I assume Hazelbourne Road there isn't one in sw195ns though there is one very near Clapham South tube station in SW12. I haven't bothered phoning the mobile number but apparently it's a Jersey, CI-issued mobile nr according to the Great God Google.
23 Hazaelebourne rd
Clapham South
London
sw195ns

I've asked for clarification of the spelling of the road name. For now.
