Pretty common type of scam but can anyone let her know it's going around with her name (assuming it is NOT TRUE). I recently sent reservation request, so guessing that's why I'm getting it?!?

It is obviously a scam, and perhaps not even from her email at all, which would be impossible to tell without seeing the headers of the email. There is no need to reply to the email, as IF her email has been hacked, the hacker will receive the reply also. I'm sure someone has called her by now, but if you are concerned, you can call the Michigan number and leave a message or let her know. edit--I just saw it in my spam filter and it's actually not even from her email address. Regardless, unless you want to call and leave her a message, I would ignore it for sure. Last edited by Carol_Hill; 08/21/2015 12:42 PM. Carol Hill

I'm guessing I had basically the same message but having read your question and seeing her name in the header in my spam folder, I deleted it without opening. This type of spam has been making the rounds again and again over the past few years.....think you're safe to hit 'delete' and be done with it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Respectfully, pat "Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them."

It appears to be, but it's @yahoo.com and Yolanda's is AOL.com

Addy was something like "realitychek123" Have received the same type of email regarding someone at The Towers, purportedly being stranded in Spain. The "W" in Towers addy was two V's! Called her and she said she wishes she was on a trip to Spain! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> "It is good to do nothing all day, and then to rest"
