Update: 22 november j.l. kregen we de volgende waarschuwing van een Weekendhotel binnen:
Tot tweemaal toe heeft een zekere Arthur een langere boeking proberen vast te leggen met daaraan verbonden een grote vooruitbetaling! Het voorstel is steeds dat het gehele bedrag per cheque wordt overgemaakt. Bij een andere betalingsvoorstel haakt deheer Arthur af. Hij opereert onder het mailadres a.bibby11@yahoo.com
Onderstaande een voorbeeld die we in september binnen kregen van verschillende weekendhotels. De email conversatie die vervolgens wordt opgestart heeft weinig interesse in de kamers en andere praktische zaken maar spitst zich vooral toe op aanbetalingen via creditcard.
Als je daarop ingaat zeggen ze een betaling te hebben gedaan die niet correct was, daarna vragen ze aan u geld terug over te maken (en dat ziet u dus nooit meer terug).
Bijna niemand trapt hier in maar toch blijven ze het proberen………
De eerste email:
