Thought it strange that the dates asked for in the message were slightly different to the dates shown in the enquiry headline, though have seen this before in a genuine enqury.
Today received a reply that he wants to book for the original enquiry dates, yet I had replied that we had a booking between these dates, and had offered alternatives instead!
No doubt once I had banked his cheque, he would have asked me to refund it immediately or forward part of the payment on to Avis in Nigeria :
