Hi,

When will you be coming over? and for how long would you need to rent a room?

----

Note that I am not talking about any details of the room. Everytime I get such email (from outside Canada) I am very suspecious. You will note in her reply (see below that she is talking about something that I didnt talk at all (it is in bold)).

Hello Sandra,

There might be some gyms around. There will be my wife's gym in the basement of the house which also includes a sauna. ...

Anyway, I dont like to make online transaction and I would prefer to finalize everything by the time that you will be here.

When do you expect to be here?
Would you require a parking space?

-------

The point here is asking very specific questions. Maybe I am wrong but unless I have a confirmation from someone in Calgary (where I live) that this person will be here for specific reasons, I wont do any online transaction.

I have the same issue with supposely students. In these cases, I just asking about the school and the programm that they've enrolled. If there is, I would ask about a proof that this person has been asked (confirmation letter from the University).

The email was sent 'to' an address you know nothing about ie viper. This means that your email address was in the hidden email field called 'bcc' (or Blind Carbon Copy). This is a typical example of a spammer sending multiple unsolicited emails to potential victims.

There is nothing legitimate in the email you have shown us, it is a clear attempt at fraud.
