->> This reads a lot like an older "Wedding Shoot in Your Area" scam. The poor English/spelling/grammar is always a dead give-away. Seems they're now putting credible names as clients to lend some sort of authenticity to the ploy. Just ignore it.

| ->> Thanks Ed. I just don't want people to associate my name with this trash, which is why I posted it. I had no idea it was even out there. Hopefully other SportsShooter members' names don't appear on these either. |

Actually Chuck, I take back the not "in great shape comment". I have seen the Fun Pix and have to admit that you frolic amongst elephants like a world class athlete. |

->> How does the scam part of it work? It sounds like they pay part up-front and the remainder after the shoot.

->> The scam usually comes after they have you "on the hook" - give us your bank account details so we can "wire you the money."
Dianna, I was wondering why you had "Oil minister of Nigeria" in your work history... |

| ->> Yep. Still waiting on the big bucks from Nigeria, but I heard Chuck Steenburgh's name was on the list just ahead of mine. Dang. That could have paid to get the 300 fixed. |
