Bed and Breakfast Scam
A friend owns a B&B and they have had two e-mails similar to this one.
i want to inquire if you have 3 rooms available on the 22nd to 29th of july,2010.The number of guest to expect is 6 with 2 people in each room.Do confirm if available and get back to me.
Warm regards,
John Howard.

+44 704 573 0909
It has all the usual marks of spam, with bad spelling, punctuation and grammar. Who ends a message with “Warm Regards”?
But I’m not sure how it works. I suspect that ringing the number will result in a large cost on your phone bill.
There are a lot more examples here.
