Mathieu Felix

Post by SusanMay »

Got the following email this morning.

Hello My name is Mathieu Felix, I am currently in London for business tip and I would make a booking request for two people. starting from 29 February 2020 The information I am asking for is as follows: Arrival Date : 29 February 2020 Depart Date 7 March 2020 Adult : Two people Let me know if it is available for rent for the date or not Best wishes, Mathieu Felix

Slightly suspicious sounding but I gave "Mathieu" the benefit of the doubt and replied. The mail I got back showed I shouldn't have. Sounds like the usual sort of scam - instructions about getting a cheque from his company for more than the actual rental and then me deducting the rental and sending the difference as a cheque to his "traveling agent so that he can do all paperwork's".

So, my advise it to ignore any mails from Mr Felix.
