I would say it's a very strange enquiry and probably machine translated. I understand very little of what they are actually trying to say.

A scam on the other hand, is when someone tries to trick you financially. Whether this weird enquiry would develop into a scam, you'll not know unless you answered. As the dates are not available, I wouldn't be too worried.

Agree, and even if it isn't a scam, it looks like it would be hard work trying to decipher what the enquirer is looking for.

I read it that he runs a wedding dress shop/salon - or rather, several - and proposes to offer to his staff and clients a prize of a week's stay in a suite of (inexpensive) rooms, and wonders whether you would be interested in collaborating with him. He is planning to come to Spain to check out potential rooms.

This might be genuine - or an "interested" response might generate the actual scam of a bogus link to his web site or a dodgy attachment or the offer of overpayment - by a dodgy cheque of course.

Whether you reply or not in the first instance is entirely up to you. :D

I wouldn't enter into this personally. Sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen, non payment, misunderstandings, random guests causing havoc, etc.

I don't know which site this originated from, but if it was via an international site you gain access to by virtue of an English language listing on, say, HA UK then a non-English speaker who liked the look of your property would probably resort to the likes of Google Translate to make their enquiry - with bizarre results!
