Another request from a Dr David who says he is in Florida but yet has a californian email address. Why come to -10 in Bulgaria when you can have the sunshine of Floriday I ask myself ????

Obviously Frank and David Fracis or more corretly the gay using the names are the same. He/she should be stopped from this game with holiday rental fraud. How can this be done? I have just received a mail from him wtht the same wording as to Ronald Barron. This time the name is Dr. David Francis 121 Madie Lane Santa Rosa Beach FL 32459.

Hallo, wenn ich das jetzt richtig verstanden habe ist der Dr. David Francis. ein Fake. Ich habe auch diese Anfrage bekommen, da ich neu bin in der Ferienwohnung vermietung wäre ich nie auf die Idee gekommen, das sich da jemand ein spass macht.
könnte mir vielleicht jemand da weiter helfen, und mir sagen was er gemacht hat. habe alle emals gespeicht, aber das schein eh egal zu sein. über eine antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen danke im voraus.

same for us … why they think anyone would do what they suggest is a mystery.

We recieved this scam email yesterday (28.12.09), ‘Dr Francis’ wanted to rent our holiday cottage in Lincolnshire, England for two months. It was all a bit too good to be true and his reply talking about ‘UK checks’ and ’sent from my blackberry’ (why would you write this unless you wanted to make the point that you could afford one?!) confirmed this. Thanks for the blog! The emails he sent us are below:

Received this Email today from a MicJohn William. The same wording as many others in the forum. Not sure exactly how the scam works but think its to do with money laundering. Anyway I’m going to play around with him for a while and waste his time.

Well i am very happy to read from you back as regard the property would be available from 1 march 2010 till 30 april 2010,I would like to let you know that i am okay with the asking price £1300 .

Concerning the payment arrangement,i am also assuring you that won’t be a problem as one of our company associate in state would be paying the one on my behalf and i had already spoke with him about this and he said that won’t be any problem that we should let him know when everything is set so that he can issue you out the payment Asap.

The payment that you would be receiving will be in excess which you are to deduct the week rent and our flight arrangement.I would have love to pay the Traveling Agent but our company associate that would issue out the payment will leave America by Friday at most.

As soon as you get the UK Check ,you will get it deposited in your bank for clearance and after the money has been cleared into your account,you would deduct the upfront payment and send the remaining balance,which would be for our flight expenses,BTA (Basic Travelers Allowance) and some other necessary paperwork’s. The balance should be sent to our traveling agent whose information i would give to you as soon as you receive payment.
Here is my information below :

Having been guided to this site only this morning, was amazed to receive an email from the guy this afternoon. his english appears to be improving!

sun 7 feb 2010 – just to add to the list of above. he wanted to book my property for 2 months but i could only offer 1 month. his reply was he would take that month and has sent me the same email as others re: payment arrangements etc.

I’ve had two of these as well. He’s going to be spreading himself pretty thin, staying in all these properties this summer!

Today, arrived the same mail too, change the mail only:

He tried it on with our holiday cottage, too. Identical letter to that received by Simon above (jan 11 2010). Good idea to waste his time – might do the same myself.

Yep, we live in Austria and get so many of these it is unbelievable. The David Francis email came today and is a carbon copy of the one pasted here! This blog has helped alot so thanks to all you guys out there who keep posting the info.

I have also received an enquiry from this chap. Thought I’d google him after thinking it was a bit suspect and very interesting reading.Thanks to everyone for their comments.

the same ‘David Francis’ email came re: renting our house in Greece for 2 months (as above 1/May-30/June, two different places at the same time!!). Thanks for all the information above, this is definately a spam, though via a rental web site. Donnot bother to respond.

Can confirm that Dr David is spam too

This scammer has been using my mailing address as his home address. I run a rental company in Destin, Florida and he contacted me 2 years ago. He obviously stole my mailing address of 121 Madie Lane, Santa Rosa Beach, Fl 32459 when we communicated.
I have been getting returned checks that he sends out for these rental scams. Is there anything that I can do?

Just had the same. Have replied telling him to piss off, get a job instead of wasting people’s time and trying to get their hard earned cash. Told him he is infamous for his scam mails and to do a google search on his email addy to see there is actually a whole forum dedicated to his crap scam.
