Well he wanted my apartment in Turkey for the whole of November, using exactly the same wording. I did receive a cheque through the post for much more than the rental amount despite telling him I don’t deal with any travel arrangements. Contacted the company it was drawn on today – they think its a fraudulent cheque and are looking into it. Disappointed about the rental but glad to read all of this which confirmed my initial suspicions. What to do about him?

It would appear that David Francis is still alive and well. He contacted us today, using the address Micdavid1100@ymail.com and wanting to stay for the whole of November. Too bad we’re half booked up already…
