Hello,

Would you be able to help me out with some old photos that have gotten red. I cant find the film strips and I wanted to do this for my boyfriends parents since its their wedding photos. I cant afford to go to a local specialist please help me out.

My email is *****@yahoo.com I dont know how to insert a photo from my gallery here for you to see what I mean.

Thanks
Alyssa


I don't know if it is a scam or not but better not be too careful. I told her to post in the forums if she really needed help. She could link photos from a flickr account right? Or I told her I would do it for her(post a link). But I am wary of emailing anyone who I don't know.

Anyone else get this PM?

Nope. It would make sense to post it in the forums, rather than emailing one person. Assuming she is going to see this, here is how to post thumbnails here that link back to Flickr:

I'd be careful, too. I would most certainly not allow her to send me any files.

However, if she posted a link (such as your suggestion of Flickr), you'd be able to look at them and decide if you wanted to help.
She may be entirely genuine and just desperate for help.

I honestly don't have time to help her anyway. Even if she is legit. I have family coming tomorrow for the holidays. So hopefully if she is legit she will post in her like steve suggested.

You're very kind to even respond!

Possibly she was contacting you because of your help offered thread?

Nothing here...

Is this person on DPC...does this person have a profile...or was this sent to your private e-mail

maybe she found your "need help give help" thread.

I guess it is a SPAM and I remember I saw it in the past and while doing some analysis came to know that user never exist in the system.
