How interesting - I had a Spanish guest a few years ago want to look at the house before booking. He was going to be in NYC for business and the house was available (although dirty since guests had left that am and it had not yet been cleaned!) I felt very odd about the whole thing at first...but...he emailed me the other day and will be booking a few weeks with us this Summer...for the third year in a row

Update: Guest was unhappy about paying balance 8 weeks in advance of arrival, but happy to pay almost 60% deposit, with balance in cash on arrival. We agreed to this, and she asked us to send Booking Form, Terms and Conditions, and bank details..
Sent Booking Form and Terms and Conditions on Tuesday, saying the bank details would be sent once we were in receipt of the completed Booking Form by email. Since then silence?
If this is some sort of scam I can't see how our bank details alone would help anyone, but I was nervous of giving them out before having an address for the guest. All we had was a name, mobile phone number, and hotmail email address. Was I being too cautious?
