i have recived an e.mail for a full clean on a property and i have given a basic qoute on what we can offer, this e.mail has come from a london based cleaning company for an over seas client, who wants 3 days cleaning at the price given, but they want my cheque book details ie name my address and want to pay by money gram or something or other!!! the whole thing looks a bit dodgy to me what do you guys think? i have heard of people being scammed by this process as the cheque never clears and you lose out, if you can help me with some advice i am happy to forward the e.mail details via e.mail!!!!

thanks in advance

My advice is walk away,its not worth the risk.

i did see other thread!!!!! just wanted to let you guys know as well as it seemed so dodgy to me but might not to others

There is only one rule, "If its seems dodgy IT IS"  don’t let anyone insult your intelligence by listening to them!!!!

Unless of course you haven’t got any then how would you know, hummm dilemma

I got a similar e-mail from a "potential customer" trough touch local.
My advice - stay away, don't reply, spam the address.

Dont evin think of replying it, my advice is to block that e mail address in u e mail folder so you will not get the same one again.

I got one too.  Exactly the same.  you should never give personal details to anyone anyway, unless you know them.  There are loads of scams at the moment. 

[Spiceman]

Unless you are aware of how and why the company has chosen you for this work and are fully aware of who they are and how to access them in future ... bin it, there are just so many scams out there and they rely on peoples greed to sucker them in.

We got one as well, we asked to view the property before quoting they would not
give us any details, said it was a security risk for their overseas client to give us the details, no deal.  Lesley

Years ago, even before Pontius was a pilot and I could sing soprano, my old mentor, well that's what he called himself, gave me one piece of adivce, well two, no on thinking about it, three, but the again there was the occassion in the pub, four!

Well anyway he said, If you can't see the colour of their money, or varify where the money is coming from, run, and bloody fast. Do not under any circumstances give a forwarding address. Paternity suites are not cheap!
