LATEST UPDATE:
Mar 15, 2008
VillagePRESS receiving regular information about Tourist accommodation scammers
with many receiving identical emails from the same scammer.
To
simplify the problem facing an accommodation provider, each item VillagePRESS
publishes will be under the (assumed) name of the scammer. While it is
always possible that an accommodation 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.......

Hi Village Press,
This arrived in our mail box this morning. Sounds very dodgy, and has a
yahoo UK address.
We have trashed it, but thought you may be interested. We get quite a few
similar emails, and now we feel that we can pick them. Maybe we miss out on
real deals, but would rather do that than be "had".
Thanks for your service.
Kind regards
Ed:
