I can't tell from that. There is a Balboa Travel in the US. Some enquiries from travel agencies are genuine.

Mario, if they've given you a contact number I would follow up with a telephone call to verify whether it is genuine or not....most scammers give a 'dud' 'phone number.

Take care their telephone number is not an ultra-expensive premium line - this is a long-standing scam.

True...never thought of that!
I have (just out of curiosity... 9 lives and so on!) 'phoned telephone numbers of scam enquiries...and they have always been 'dud'...either permanently engaged...or have a disconnected tone. I assume if you were on a premium line scam then you would be diverted to an automatic voice message with 'push button' commands.

The Telephone No is 925-598-5324 and does not match to there contact No.I have e-mailed her and asked for her exact location,lets see what she says.I have also e-mailed Balboa Travel and asked if its one of their compatriats.
