Another weird OD/HA enquiry - Michele Goodman

Post by Sam V »

Three days ago I received an enquiry from a Michele Goodman in my OD inbox but showing as from HA not OD. I've had a similar enquiry recently which turned out to be a scam enq. and find it odd as I have two separate subscription accounts with both OD and HA.

She wants to book 7 nights in Feb 2016 for two. I replied direct from my OD dashboard and yesterday sent a follow up via PIMS which now uses my web email address.

Today I received a reply direct to my personal hotmail address which has not been made available to her at any time but is registered to my OD account details (as happened in previous scam)
