Dare I click on it?

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.

Dare I click on it?

Post by Rogthedodge »

I got an enquiry from Flipkey the other day and got the below in return today. I put the ....'s after /wp so it is not a live url. Am I being over cautious?.


Hello,
There are pictures of an apartment on this site, we want a place that will have same facilities, kindly check if your apartment is something closer to it. I guess you'll have to login with your email to view them, im sorry about that if it causes any inconveniences.

They are phishing. That is why they warn you that you may be required to enter your email log-in. You do not need to log in to your email to view some pictures on a website.

Thank you very much. Can I assume then that the mail was not from the original enquirer?

I would have thought it was from the original enquirer, as the message refers to accommodation.
