Jeremy Stook would like some free Cheval Blanc...don't fall for his scam


More on the fine wine lovin' Mr Jeremy Stook. Here trying his luck in Paris as Alexandre Pinel explains: 

'Dear Jim,

I don't succeed to post my comment on you blog!
I have discovered your blog, after a research about Jeremy Stook.

I have a web site www.grandscrusadomicile.com, which is a wine-conciergerie exclusively dedicated to Bordeaux wine, and we have a negociant activity.

Well I received on the 3rd March a call from UK of a Jeremy Stook.
He wants to have, in a very few times, some famous first cru.
He wants me to send him a list.

I show you the mail:

Best Regard
Stook Jeremy

To be frank with you, after a quick verification on google map, this person lives in houses which not correspond to his command...but it could be possible, it must be a very great amateur. So I propose to deliver him his command by my cellar service  in 5 hours in his london home, after reception of his virement (you know, bank by bank) and he was not ok!!!
he wants to pay by a cheque, with a call of his bank, and don't want to have the cellar express delivery service but a DHL delivery...i have never seen that..

So could you explain on your blog, that this person wants to have free wine and try to make a dud payment.
Thanks for your blog and your help.

sincerely.

A.Pinel'
