I, Cathy, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Williams Coleman”:
As I do not offer any form of Hotel or Guest House Accommodation I can only conclude that our 'friend' William Coleman has embarked on a phishing exercise to see who he can con! Hope I am wrong but post this as a public service to people who may offer accommodation to be wary of William.
