Help guys - Is this for real?

[musicmonkey]

Hello,
I am a Bussiness Man Based in London. Because of the Bussiness Relationship i have with France,i wish to relocate to France.
I saw your advert placement as regards your house for rent.pls do let me know if you still have the house for rent and also let me know how much it will cost me to rent your VILLA PER MONTH,as I will be looking forward to your urgent response as soon as possible.
you can call me via this line ???????????

It is too early in the morning. Is he for real? He has given a telephone no. and a yahoo email address and quotes the dates from 1st June to 1st July. Am I being paranoid? [/i]

I'd give that a 95% spam rating. I give him 5% of doubt because he suggests you call him - will this be a premium rate line saying you've won a cruise?

It appears to be a mobile no. so not much help really is it? We recommend our property as being a tranquil haven, which whilst near to tourist attractions is not really the centre of the universe to carry on with his business. From the wording of his message he doesn't sound as though he's retiring to France!

Have now had an email from the rental website confirming that the chap is not bona fide. Problem solved. So anyone else who gets a similar request - beware.

Gave himself away on the first line. You would think a Bussiness Man would make it his Bussssinessss to learn how to spell Business

Whilst I had the same thoughts about his grammar - inevitably he didn't have a British sounding name so put it down to that. Anyway, even people who are businessmen don't necessarily have good grammar!
