My trip to America 3 wonderful weeks, started with me booking on line
at [removed URL].

If it sounds like a scam, it probably is.

And, it's probably just the way that my news reader displays extended ASCII
characters, but it appeared that the ticket cost the poster (spammer?) 3199.
00, though I could not tell 3199 what. If it was $, then I'd expect that he
could fly BC from much of Europe to US for that. If it was BPS (won't use the
extended character set for British Pounds Sterling), then he might have been
able to do BC from almost anyplace. Regardless, I think I'll just book with my
airlines, upgrade with my miles and be done with it.
