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.

I received an enquiry yesterday asking for availability in Feb with an attachment/link. I was suspicious and didn't open the link but did respond saying if he toild me the dates I would confirm availability and price. He has had 24 hoours to respond and I have heard nothing so I am posting his name here along with the wording of mail to warn others. I did look more into the attachment/link and it took you to a Gmail login in screen, so obviously a phishing attempt.

The wording of the mail was:

"Hallo,

I'm interested to arrive on your holiday location for one week in February.
Just one non-smoker couple.Need to know that we are open to any dates in February also we come from Germany.
Bellow you have our date's that we wish to reserve,full address and passport's so you can make reservation.
Thanks and speak soon. "
