After a few to & fro emails, he wrote the following,

Quote:

Hello Marco,

firm who will supply the couples with cars they will use during their
stay.
So once you are in receipt of it,confirm the amount of {$ 8,780.00), in
your account then deduct the cost of your services $ 1,580.00 and send
$ 7,000.00 via Bank account Transfer,to the Logistics

once this is confirmed.
So confirm this and provide me with your details as stated below.

Hello
I can only pay with the visa card

To which I replied, that I don't do credit cards.
I wonder how long it will take for him to give up.

If you do call him, make it a collect call, then stutter a lot.

It's not as if we'll ever manage to bust him, but I can get my money's worth, leading him on.
It's certainly not worth wasting one plug nickel on calling him.

He is going to pay for the 4 couples trip with HIS Visa card? Is this what I am reading???

Yeah-- OK. If there is a CC it's stolen.

Why aren't the couples paying for their own trip? What a nice travel agent. jajaja

Wanna buy a bridge?
