Comments? I work for a Tour guide agency based in China & America and we provide quality holiday experience for our clients.
We have holiday tourists who would be in france in the month of September and October and would like a place booked for them.
Kindly advice what dates your apartment would be available. We understand that this is a very busy period for the holiday industry so we would be lucky to get available dates.
We await your response.

I got the same email but without the telephone details, I assume it is a scam!

Any enquiry could be a scam. Just use common sense and caution.

I would reply that you don't normally accept bookings through third parties but if they will provide a web address of the website/s through which their clients book, you might consider it.

I'm 99.9% sure it is a scam so I have simply consigned it to the bin. I really can't be bothered to reply and a search revealed no website matching the description given.

Good choice & always better safe than sorry. If any doubt, bin it.
