    It's sad that people do this to photographers. We all want that "big break" and they just feed on it.
    I'm sorry to those this has happened to, but your break will come along.

    Something else that seems strange here is there are several first-time-posters in this thread with very similar spelling/grammar/punctuation mistakes as the scam emails.

    Just seems odd.

    Tell them you'll agree to their terms but you won't send any money until the check clears. You won't hear from them again...
    Yep good old money laundering scam....

    In April 2008 I bought my first DSLR - a Canon 30d with the canon 50mm F1.8 and the Sigma 70-300 F4-5.6 APO DG Macro, and 430ex II flash.

    They may have googled coca cola bilboard or something and found this thread through that?

    Many scamers seem to have English as a second language and there spelling and grammar is bad
