Does this sound legit?

Post scam emails to warn other rental owners, or if you are not sure if an enquiry is genuine, put it up here and see what others think.

I've never gotten one like this...does it sound odd to you?? or have you had bookings for "clients"? the phone number given is in Singapore...not that I know if that means anything!

Does sound potentially dodgy, but I'd ignore the request to respond by email, and call, allowing for the time difference. :)
