Hello,

Thanks for your reply and assistance so far. I have just concluded arrangements with the visitors for the trip to your place for that period. However, A Certified Bank Cheque for £ 3, 800 was issued by the company sponsoring the visitors to cover the cost of accommodation and transport for the visitors who are coming for this vacation.

I will not be able to make a deposit separately because all the money meant for their accommodation and transport came in one cheque package, Therefore i have been instructed to send you the Cheque, so when you receive the cheque payment, You are required to deduct your cost of hosting and keep the balance of their money which has already been designated by the company for the transportation of the visitors. I will need you to provide the following information to send you the cheque.

1, YOUR FULL NAME (AS IT SHOULD APPEAR ON THE CHEQUE) :
2, YOUR ADDRESS / POSTCODE and
3, YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

Do you have any car hire arrangement? I will await your email with the details so that instructions can be given for the cheque payment to be forwarded to you immediately.

Regards,
Jochen.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
