OD enquiry scam: firewall blocking previous enquiry

Post by Sunbeam »

New approach to get you to email them - via the Owners Direct enquiry system.

"Hello, my name is Carla, I seen your beautiful property on the website and I want to rent for two weeks in june-july. I have inquired about this property before but I have not received any answer, I suspect that my blackberry firewall blocks unknown type of email. I can be reached at carlat[at]tierneies.co.uk, I just want to ask few questions about the property. Thank you!!"

Got the exact same 'enquiry'. Reported as spam.

Yup, me too. Today has been a spam bonanza day as I also had a text message from another joker.

Hi Casscat - we also got a text message - from a guy called Matt on a US number asking to contact him on an email address - for dates that are not available and quoting our OD property reference. We thought perhaps they had got our phone number from our property website (we use the name of the house in the OD advert). Did not reply just in case a scam.
