Id say scam as too good to be true and do you have VAT in the USA?

That's what I thought. If it smells like a fish, it's a fish. Thank you Jcam.

Scam. I'm skeptical of any reservation inquiry that 1) Is for more than 3-4 days, 2) Needs accommodations for 6 or more people, 3) Doesn't give a phone number, 4) Gives exact names of the traveling parties, and 5) Usually says "kindly get back to me...."

That would be a...NOPE
