scams

[gunnhouse]

I recieved this one about a month ago and ended up with a bogus check for $6400.00. Another neraby innkeeper almost fell for the scam and had held the rooms for about three weeks. I had notified our local visitors bureau and they did a blast email to notify other protential innkeepers.

Hi Gunnhouse

Do you advertise through a rental website or did this come through to you privately

If so what one was it Most of the websites I advertise through have managed to stop most of the dodgy emails getting through

Im sure they would be interested if you let them know[and could warn others.]
