I just received the following e-mail, looks and smells like a scam that has been going around in the photographic community for a while. The basic idea is that they pay an advance, cancel the assignment, ask me to refund the advance and when that’s done, they’ll cancel their original payment, which can be done within 30 days or so when paying with credit card. Here’s the e-mail, I’ve *-censored some personal details to protect the innocent.

Your services will be needed for maximum of three hours each day of their tour.Let me know your cost. I hope you do accept credit. Warm regards, Mr J******** B******. In case you need to speak with me at my honeymoon base with my international roamed London number +44 *** *** *** *.Send replies to b******j****01@yahoo.com.vn
Just wondered, has anyone else out there received this e-mail?
What I did was reply and ask for some clarification. And stating that full payment is required in advance and that there can be no refund. I don’t expect any reply.
