While we are on the subject of questionable emails (guests quoting/offering their best rates), let me share this recent one with the group. From UK resident planning her holiday. I must admit, I did respond to this one...no special rates...just a rate quote with availability info...because we do get delightful English guests! We have not received any additional email from Ms. Bloomer. I am pasting the exact text (in red)of the email inquiry below. One of our local newspapers, the Smoky Mountain News, July 14 - 20 edition, published an article regarding a lodging establishment in a nearby county who took it a bit further with Ms. Bloomer. However, he didn't send her any money back. See more at this link:

Hello,
My name is Nicole Bloomer; I got your details from the North Carolina
tourism directory and would like to rent a Room or Apartment. I will be
going on my annual leave on the 9th of July & my husband and I will be
coming to North Carolina on holiday for 11 days. We will be staying from
Saturday 10th of July 2010 to Thursday 22nd of July 2010 (Check-in 10th
July - Depart 22nd July).
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and recommendation on a suitable
accommodation if you have availability for 11 days and the costs for
2persons tax included.
I'm 38 years old and a senior accountant, working with Shell Oil Company
here in the United Kingdom. I look forward to hearing from you, have a
great day and God bless.
Many thanks,
Nicole Bloomer
