"My name Véronique Ibarrart.
I’m a wedding planner from France. I received emails copied below..
Thank you for letting everyone know about this email scammer.
It’s nice to see that the
text I wrote was read by someone at VillagePRESS…and so far from us:
internet is working well not only for scams!!!
To simplify
the problem facing a service provider, each item VillagePRESS
publishes will be under the (assumed) name of the scammer. While it is
always possible that a provider is in error when they believe the
proposed booking is a scam, it is the responsibility of the reader receiving a
similar email, to make their own decision. Should an error occur and the
sender is real, please notify VillagePRESS and we will publish a correction
directly over the original file.
THEREFORE, this message precedes each scam reported ... this page dealing with a
scammer calling him(her?)self as.......

so I require first class services.
I am glad to tell you that we have concluded all payment arrangements.I will
send to you my credit card details that will cover the cost of our

an arrangement with a logistics agent who will take care of all the other
guests logistics to include.
1)Accommodation
2) Flights
3) International Airport transfer
4)Transportation logistics during our stay
However,because of security reasons and confidentiality reposed on you and
because they do not have credit card facility,we have decided that only YOU

the total amount of { €15,000 + bank charges} then deduct your deposit which
is {€6,000} and send the balance of { €9,000} to the logistics agent whose
