Congratulations!! You have been identified as a profesional photographer! Many on this forum feel that their first scam mail is a rite of passage to being a professional.
Whether you reply is up to you, but do not cash any checks they send you. Most people ignore them. Some people (none that i know of on this forum) decide to help stop them from scamming other people by keeping them busy with silly tasks (such as filling out unusually long and obviously fake contracts, asking them to send photos, and some even invent creative ways to make them embarrass themselves and get it on camera...those are considered trophies)
probably should just delete it though
sorry it wasn't a real lead!

I got this email today! I am not sure what to make of it. I think it is a scam. No contact number provided and he is from another country
Would would you think and would you even respond? And then of course the obvious spelling errors, not that mine is perfect
