Scam Alert : Steven Morison, a.k.a. Mr Williams Steven

Posted on July 5, 2012 by niko

The usual “Nigerian overpayment” email scam is going around in the wedding space again. This one is by someone who’s email address says “Steven Morison”, even though in the actual body of the email they call themselves “Mr  Williams Steven”. Here is the copy we received:

Be careful! Don’t get caught. Under no circumstances should you “refund” this person or otherwise send them any money – even if they have sent you a (fake!) cheque first..
