another dodgy one I suspect

Post by memes »

I'd love a 2 month booking but the bad english and the starting with the name of stephan then signing himself Ray with 3 kisses somewhat raises my suspicions..And a request to use a printer? Weird...
Does anyone agree its not even worth an initial reply?

100% dodgy. You don't need to go further than the first line:

"Hi, Am Stephan Ray"

Only scammers put their name at the top of the message.
