Hi,
Attached is text of the first Hotel Accommodation scam we've received so far this year. (In short the way this scam works is a fraudulent bankers draft is used to overpay for services. the scammers ask you to pay the balance back to their "agent" as soon as the draft apparently clears, often keeping a portion for yourself. The bankers draft then bounces leaving you out of pocket)
email addresses used by scammer: [email protected], [email protected],
