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.

Fil,
Even if there is no obvious financial risk, it is not fun to get into this kind of situations.
I wouldn’t want to waste my time or get involved with e-mail abuse but my main point is that anyone taken in by the financial side of scamming only has themselves to blame.

The warnings about scammers are shouted from the tree tops. How to avoid being taken to the cleaners is nothing more than common sense. Perhaps sense isn’t common any more?

the "bad writing" is therefore most of the times my own and I don´t expect enquirers to deduct from that that I am a scammer.
:D
