Indonesian travel agent...

Post by ashtondav »

Well, what do you reckon?
Good day,

I'm Adrian Arto from Wahana Tour and Travel, Indonesia.

I will recommend you to my clients from Taiwan, Japan, Singapore also South
Korea. They gave me an order and full authority to arrange their vacation
well-designed. They had a planning to have vacation with the group (about 2-4
person) that's way they asked me to have well prepararation for the
reservation, accommodation, itineraries etc. I also have clients need for
honeymoon vacation package.

Our clients wanted to pay 100% deposit in advance to any reservations. This is
about International reservation order, that the order will be use middle of May
2007 about 10 days, do you accept major credit card for the reservation payment?

Please inform me your room rates also other available services that are need to
be reserved in advance for the tour package. Please let me know if this is
workable with you and as travel agent I want to know about agency commision fee
for this business. Looking forward to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Best Regards, Adrian Arto

Or you could contact the Wahana Travel website (which looks valid enough) and ask if they know Mr. Adrian Arto. Whether they do or not, they'd probably be happy to hear from you. :wink:

I think the company is legit but he is certainly not.

got this one too last week. Company is legit but uses its name in the email addresses, xxxx@wahanatours. This con-man puts the company name before the @ so it is definitely a scam.
