Please help me decode this. Also, I am not sure why but the format of this post is off. I can't seem to change it, I'm forced to type in this corner.. strange. Okay now I went to preview post and it's under the email & it won't let me space or push enter or move it..oh well! Does anyone know what this guy wants? I can't read this type of text.

My guess: He wants pictures of himself taken (probably full or semi nude) for his stripping business. He wants to see your portfolio but your galleries are locked. Or it's a scam and the guy will murder you before you can blink.

lol omg .. well interesting, I've never been propositioned by a stranger for photos before, only my family. My galleries are private because I'm not ready to be a business yet, I'm not strong enough in my photography skills but hell I'll throw that all out the window just to photograph a stripper or possible serial killer!

Yup - sounds like somebody's trolling for a victim of one sort or another. I'd stay away from that one based off the impeccable grammar alone.

I'd also recommend throwing someone elses message in quotes because it looks like who ever wrote that used their face and I thought it was you at first lmfao!

 

[Shadowbox]

haha at ballistic.

 

[bennielou]

Is he paying you?

 

[Shadowbox]

I don't know, I did email him back and asked for more details. I would definitely expect to be paid in this situation, he asked for quotes!

 

[subscuck]

I'm guessing he wants remedial spelling and grammar lessons. I'd be wary.

Lessons in how to communicate in writing?

HEY! I did receive another email. Here we go.

"Hi. Yes if u want to add to your web site/portfolio use me. Give me an

affordable price I can do monthly for no more than 3 hours. I want business, casual,
and like I pose for the women groups. Figures, Gstrings, classy, etc. U would have
my permission to use. I am a mature white male, respectful, well groomed, very
clean, fun, personality, looks etc. I have made my mind up someone is going to work
with me once a month.1, to capture seasons, 2, I just went back again to working out
and I want to see the muscular changes. If u r interested and want to talk further
feel free to call ------ Thx. James"

Am I desperate enough to consider.. hmmm I just need more people to take photos of.

Wow, I wouldn't go near this. As in, I fear for your well being.

R-A-P-I-S-T!

You remember that Craigslist killer a while back? I'm not trying to scare you but the fact that he puts the quoted part below in each correspondence is a might on the creepy side. If you're that desperate I would take the biggest dude you know with you if you actually meet this guy. It just sounds sketchy at best....

Thanks for the advice, I'm not going to bother with him. I thought perhaps he would send a more legible response but see he did not. I do wonder though if people want to be a professional photographer don't they have to deal with people like this daily or is that along the lines of.. you get what you pay for or rather .. the lower you charge the more icky people you attract (no offense anyone please).

always carry a .40 to accessorize your camera... just in case!
