Does this sound odd?
I have a request that starts:
"Hi there, my boyfriend and I are working professionals. I am a solicitor working in an award winning regional firm whilst my boyfriend works in a large brokerage firm in Canary Wharf."
Is that too much information?
It had not crossed my mind to even look for scams until I read this forum so perhaps I am seeing one around every corner?

PS. I voted SCAM.
Maybe I´m a little bit paranoid in the mean time?

What's the harm in going forward to the next step?
Its the next email that will confirm scam or not and you can easily ignore the offer to send 250% of your rental

If they had just said they were a solicitor and a broker I wouldn't have batted an eyelid.
My cynical head replies:
"Dear xxx
My cottage has never won an award and does not form part of a regional portfolio of cottages. It is not large, in fact it is quite small, therefore I am sure it would be a huge disappointment to you, therefore I regret it is currently unavailable."
But for now I would just politely reply and see what happens. 50/50 IMO.
