What d'you reckon?

Post scam emails to warn other rental owners, or if you are not sure if an enquiry is genuine, put it up here and see what others think.

What d'you reckon?

Post by Rocket Rab »

Mmm. Just received a one-line enquiry

Is your property avaiable for the above dates?

from a certain Jo Oliver, whose email address starts

jokoliver@.....

Is this a joke? What do you think?? Am I being paranoid??

Tried to ring the tel. no. quoted (apparently in the UK) but the France Telecom message informs me there is no such number...

Ooooh,I wouldn't necessarily treat this as spam.I would e-mail them back to see how it plays out. Interesting about the phone no though- maybe you are Super Savvy :lol:

Hi Fraise,

You're right - only time will tell! I've sent a reply, so I'm curious to see if I get any further reaction... it's the email name that caught my attention :?

Well, well. Turns out this was not a jok! In fact it's firming up into what could become a welcome booking (for a friend!) :D

The dear lady had a digit wrong in her tel. no. ...
