Havn’t read of many scam attempts lately. Are we winning the war?

I have had a couple in the last week, I am stringing them along for a bit of fun having seen this. http://www.bitoffun.com/video_vault/joe ... operty.htm

my chap tells me he working in Wales for a month before coming to stay with us for a month. In my last message I told him I was travelling the full length of Wales this week so would be happy to collect the deposit in person. :-)

Scam Email

Post by Tillee »

I must have received an email from the same person.

Name is given as Peter Jacob. He states that he is an America citizen but currently in Wales for a business tip (lol) he wants to make a booking enquiry for two peoples from 2rd Feb to 2rd of March 2019 etc., etc., Get back to him if I have an opening for reservation during his stated date or not.


I shall not be replying.

I had the same one from Peter Jacobs. He actually got as far as sending me a Worldwide Canadian Dollar Draft drawn on Desjardins which the bank said has got no markings showing up on their light machine . I have now cancelled his booking. The address he gave was Canadian but the phone number was from North Carolina
