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 again! This is a different approach. You'd think that a doctor would have proper English and spelling, wouldn't you? The thing is, if the English WERE proper, I would almost believe it.
Some of these people I'd love to write back to and tell them how stupid their requests are.
All the best,
Nancy

Ed: Thanks again Nancy

Subject: Accomodation Required!

Hello,

I’m Larry Subroto Stevens, a Doctor presently in Uk on an official trip. I will be coming over to New Zealand with my wife for a mini-research from the 8th of March to the 29th of March, 2008. Athough, this might be flexibly based on your availability for the 21 days because i will be able to adjust to any of the rooms depending on which is available for the period of time.

I am interested in the Cottage Accomodation. Could you please send me more detailed description of the cottage? Do you have any photos of the cottage? What's the cost of rental per week?

I will like to pay in advance of our visit so that I can be assured of an accommodation during my stay because this is my first visit to New Zealand.

An early reply will be appreciated. Please acknowledge if you can offer this accommodation service.

Best Regards,

Dr. Larry S. Stevens

but please REMOVE the 345 (added to counteract spamming rogue search engines.) .
