Odd Email Request

Post by Hanorah »

I received this message yesterday through my website. Now it probably is not a scam but could be. They are asking me for help in advertising their villa for the Grand Prix in Turkey. Now I could do this for a commission but what if the villa does not exist etc could they be looking for someone who looks legit to customers do get them customers and what if the guests arrive and there was no house etc. What would you do? We do have family in Istanbul so I guess I could them to check it out and if ok I could help find them guests and make some commission. I guess there would be a strong market for this event if it proved above board.


comments: Hello;
I want to talk about the trips to Formula1 (Istanbul-Turkey). You know that
GrandPrix will be in 18-21 August Istanbul. The place is far to city center
so much and there will be some problems in staying for foreing visitors.
There are not so much staying places or hotels near to F1. I have got a
luxury villa for 5minutes (5km) to F1 and I want to rent for foreign
visitors. Too much people can stay in that house.
Some details;
So close to Formula1, 300m2 doublex villa with security in a 5acre garden in
nature, manmade small and big waterfall ponds with the fishes at the garden,
special place for barbecue (brazier), personal parking place,
6room with 5beds (we can add more), 110m2 living room, 2bathroom, 1wc,
7/24 Warm water, with fully luxury furnitured, satellite TV system with
600channels, personal computer, satellite radio and cd player sound system,
refrigerator, dish washer and washing machine, 2telephone...etc
The place of the villas got a security service, got a swimming pool;
volleyball, basketball and tennis court

We can help each other. If u are interested in that please Contact me by
gsm, fax or email for more detailed information and pictures of the villa or
questions. Thank you for your helps.
