Post scam emails to warn other rental owners, or if you are not sure if an enquiry is genuine, put it up here and see what others think.

Most defiantly some sort of scam but not sure what they are trying to achieve apart from getting you to click on the links.

First email I wasn't too suspension

Hello
I am just emailing to enquire if your beautiful property is for rent between 25-28 April,as it is my 26rd birthday.
Please tell my which is the next step for booking your property.You accept credit card ?
Hope to hear from you soon:)
Best Regards!
Gladys Farrington


But then when the second one came in after I had asked which property she was interested in, was very suspicious.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out so fast. I was looking thru the description and also the map, for a better feeling of the area. Maybe i'm not looking at it right, but it appears that the location is wrong on the map. Can you please confirm the location is correct:
Google maps link

Here is my property which i want to booking View Property

Here is my credit card details View Google Drive
If possible, i would like a phone number to discuss more about a booking.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks

Gladys Farrington


The View Property and View Google Drive and Google Maps was an embedded link.

All very strange

It’s likely to be an attempt to capture your google login.

Could you edit your post to make the probable scam link non-clickable just in case anyone decides to try it, or clicks on it without thinking.
