Here we go: I get 3 enquiries and a booking request through HA; 3 weeks in the summer + 2 during winter: All from the same person, who in one enquiry signs as Dr. A Name and Dr. B Name*).
Looks a bit fishy, but
- with 5 months to the Requested booking, this is a bit long for card fraud through yapstone.
- Name is unusual, I search for it and 1 hit shows up, a German doctor who has recently retired.
Then the story fits - likely to have funds and time for longish holidays, and he could have been flustered by HA's booking system.
I will probably go ahead with it.
What would you have done?
*) Names changed, obviously
Scam that probably isn't

Part of my reason for missing a double booking via OD last year was that both the husband and wife had enquired separately for the same dates.
