Thanks for your reply and assistance so far .I am glad to tell you thatwe have concluded payment with the delegates.
However, a Certified Bank Cheque of 5,500EURO was earlier made out by theChristian organization, for a hotel whose services were not up to thestandard of what your hotel is offering to us now. Which was meant forthe accommodation, provision for travelling and other necessary arrangement.I have now been instructed to send you the cheque, which will cover thecost of accommodation and all other necessary travelling arrangement for the delegates.
Moreover, we also made an arrangement with a pre paid car hiring firm whowill supply the delegates with cars they will use during their stay.
So you are required to deduct the cost of your services 2320EURO andsend the balance of 3180EURO via western union money transfer, to thelogistics agent whose information will be forwarded to you as soon aspossible.So confirm this and provide me with your
(1) YOUR FULL NAME

    8-3-05 Received the same email inquiry today from Deacon Williams of 3 Eastleigh Southhampton, Hampshire wanting 4 weeks rental at our vacation home in Wisconsin. No phone # shown. Was glad to quickly find a reference to this joker from a blogger. This email was preceeded by one from a Dr Ian Goodyear of Wesleyan Medical Home, Birmingham United Kingdom wanting to rent for 4 people for 12 days. He showed a direct phone of +44-703-184-8655 which turned out to be the IP address of one Chan Lee referenced on a fraud check website alert.

    Anyone getting suspicious emails reference long term rentals from a Richard Wilfred of England? Would help to know more at this point. Thanks.
