Spanish scam??

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 replied to the enquiry using my MS Hotmail address, saying that my normal e-mail address is not available.

I confirmed availability and prices. However, I explained that my present circumstances are such that I can only accept payments in Euros and in cash and not by way of cheque, bank transfer or money order.

It was all "tongue in cheek" to see if I could elicit an answer. So far I have total silence and I expect it to stay that way.

Oh dear! No reply.

By asking for real money I have either put off a genuine enquiry or stopped a scammer in his tracks.

Next time I must be more encouraging in my initial response.

Damn!
