I just received the following email via a craigslist advert. What aroused my suspicions is that I had it from 3 quite different adverts I'd place on Craigslist going back a month and more.
I just rang the hotel and they did have a wedding but not a morning wedding for that date. The text sounds very Nigerian. The lady at the hotel had had phonecalls from several people asking about the booking, saying it sounded scammy and I've forwarded her a copy too. I love the fact he's mis-spelt his name in his email address!
Needless to say I'm playing him along to see what kind of bogus check I receive (which I'll scan and place on the web for all to see).
Hi,
I am Charles, the secretary of a wedding committe that has been
constituted to see to the smooth running of my boss's son's wedding
ceremony. Although I am presently at a seminar workshop which will
soon end but I am saddled with the responsibilty of locating and
arranging for a good and experienced wedding photographer,
videographer and DJ and So, i searched through the net and found you
appropriate for the service you have posted on craiglist.
The details of the wedding are as follows:
WEDDING DATE : 26th July, 2008.
WEDDING TYPE : Social
VENUE OF THE WEDDING :
Mills House Hotel
115 Meeting Street
Charleston, SC 29401
TIME : 10 A.M. Prompt
No of Guest : 350 approx.
Every other necessary details will be forwarded to you as soon as
they are available. So, how much will your service cost me for just 4
hours on that day.
Thanks in anticipation of your favourable response.
Yours
Charles White
