    What to do? Playing with innocent people.

    I got an email in error from a hotel in Kenya - about a guy that is staying there but his credit card does not work - so could I please as his employer send new credit card details to pay for his stay there. the cost is about USD 1000. His stay in the hotel ends in 2 days.

    What to do?

    Ask them for picture proof that he is there, so please could they take a photo of the guy with a local girl and send it.

    What can your sinister brains cook up?

    Ask them how much they want to keep him there for good.

      So I should not ask for a finger in an envelope - as proof of him being there?

        Ask them to send you one of his finger in the post and when it arrives have it finger printed

              I was also considering informing them that I refuse to pay and that they shold rent him out as a gimp untill he has paid for his stay.

              But with this one I don't get a souvenir.

                Sounds like a scam.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  I believe not. it is sent to multiple people - one of the addresses is the info@ at one of my domain names.

                  It is just human error.

                    Inform them that he has been fired for fiddling his expenses. He was supposed to be at a management conferance in Slough.
