Got an inquiry this afternoon from "Kelly Brown". Because I tend to get a lot of scam inquiries (not sure why), I'm in the habit of looking them all up before I respond.
...This doesn't look like a scam, but the address listed at the bottom (kellybrown1977@gmail.com) is not the address it came from. That is: brown1231910@hotmail.com and leads to "personal assistant" fraud listings on Craigslist. These things bum me out
. I also can't figure out what the angle is. Any one have any thoughts?
I went ahead and responded very briefly on the chance its legit, but I'm afraid I've had more scammers emailing me lately than legit brides.
Hi! I'm Kelly Brown. We will be needing some one ASAP to take up the photography aspect of our wedding occasion scheduled for next month , 03.10.2012 starting from 10;00 AM - 04;00 PM . So what I am asking is -;
A package which includes six hours of shooting time plus a 20 page custom designed album .
THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES:
* 6 hours of photography; Mix of color and black and white, creative effects.
* 250+ professionally processed wedding photos, in print and on copyright-free CD OR USB.
* 20 page custom wedding album - all prints on archival quality .
Album in top quality, elegant and built to last a lifetime for the memory of our kids and families.
* 11x14 Portrait Print - We'll choose any image from the wedding photos .
So some questions I have are ;-
- What is your base price fee for what I am asking? Is that negotiable?
- Your availability/ schedule for the coming month? You available?
- Are you willing to travel ? considering both the lodging and the travels will be taken care of. Please email back confirming your availability. Thank you
Kelly.
