IMO This has scam written all over it ..

The attachment (probably Word) will have a macro in it that will run if you open it.  If you have macros turned off, (Preferable) it will ask you to turn it on.  The Macro will be malicious.

Just delete the whole thing.

I would also delete it.   It has all the elements of a scam.

Thanks for your replies........if I'm honest I flagged it as a scam as soon as I saw it...just wanted to make sure it was & at the same time warn others.

Would it be a good idea to have a 'scammers' page where members can 'copy & paste' scam emails so others can see who the scammers are and what their scam's / emails look like

We need to do something as its only going to get worse me thinks

there is a forum of www.laymyhat.com devoted to property rental scams, IMO adding one to enjoykalkan.com would only get items from Kalkan rentals where as it's a more global problem.

It's a scam, I had the same mail a couple of months ago.
