Someone just emailed me a request to shoot their wedding in Ohio, March 28th of this year. I can't do it, but if anyone is interested, PM me and I'll send you their email.

Thanks!

Did it happen to say something like this?:

"dear sir, i am writing to engage your services in the wedding of my daughter in OHIO on 28th March. I would be interested in prints sizes 5x7 and more, please let me know travel cost etc..
Thank you and god bless"

Yeah.

They'll offer to pay you with a cashier's check for significantly more than the amount, wanting you to return the difference via wire transfer. Sometime after you do that, the cashier's check will bounce, but your money's long gone.

Might be fun to screw with them, though, if you can figure out how to scam the scammers :)

Haha...I'll do it! What's a good message I should send back to him? I've already told him (thinking this was legit) that I'd tell some other photographers about his wedding since I couldn't do it...
