It smells fishy to me!

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.

Jaques Avenue, Worcester does exist, but no Google of Interlink there. However, even if it was right, would you want to deal with the sort of agency that produces an e-mail like that?

The Peckham address appears on British Arts web-site concerning an art scam, where a 'Dr. Stefan Smith' was/is using a different method to defraud.

The link is http://www.britisharts.co.uk/fraud_gripes.htm to any of you who may be interested. Several scammers e-mail addresses are listed.
