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.

Has anyone in France received this one? The more I look at it, the more I'm convinced it's a scam (dodgy French, her name as the recipient list and seemingly flexible on dates)... it's just that we do often get requests for 3 weeks due to there being a thermal baths nearby that has a 3 week treatment programme. Genuine 'curistes' tend to mention this and aren't flexible on dates though.

Thoughts anyone?

Whoever wrote that is not French. Did you look at where the IP address came from? At a guess, West Africa.

"Mr / Mme" ? I don't think so!

I don't seem to be able to look at the IP address with our email set up but you're probably right, Oasiscouple... it's probably African.

Martha... yes, I noticed the 'Mr', however very occasionally we do get a genuine enquiry with this in place of the usual 'M' so that alone didn't ring alarm bells. Coupled with the rest though, it smells fishy...!

Thanks!
