Greetings,
We wish to inquire about your Holistic services, I want to book for 2 weeks therapy, 1 or 2 hours each day Monday to Friday (morning or evening hours) for a group of 10. We will be coming for a one month vacation/holiday from 25th Oct. 2012 and in line with our plans we will require 2 weeks Holistic therapies to help maintain healthy body due to the nature of our job and also to make our stay fun.
The checkups should basically be an Holistic experience for my group, please get back to me with the required information below so i can finalize arrangements with my group and get back to you with more clear and specific details.
Type of therapies you offer:

Best arranged in (group/individual):

Confirm availability for the required date:

Types of credit cards accepted:
Awaits your email.

I'd have got back to him, I think, with a few questions, concerning such things as what kinds of therapy they're envisaging as being holistic, what has led them to seek it from you or whose idea it is, whether they're aware of your charges, where they will be staying, the kind of work that they do (as it's evidently relevant), what a "holistic experience" means to him, and where they heard about you. If they're legitimate, they wouldn't have minded answering a few questions, and it would have saved the potential embarrassment of his learning that you had broadcast a private e-mail; if they're not legitimately seeking your services, they'd probably make it evident by not bothering to reply.

I can't see that sending a copy of the e-mail to others is going to resolve veracity, because he may quite legitimately have sent the same enquiry to others in your locality.

Best of luck sorting it out, anyway. Cheers --

Hi Rochelle,
That sounds exactly like the email scam that one of the Associations here (Australia) warned us about. I think the scam happens around how they offer to prepay, but then somehow need you to pay them back.

we do need to be wary of people fishing for personal information for other
nefarious purposes. Must think Codex and its goals.
