The usual “Nigerian overpayment” email scam is going around in the wedding space yet again – sigh!!…
This latest version is by someone who’s email address calls them “Hamburg“, ironically using the address Hamburg.ernest53@gmail.com. (Not so “earnest”, trust me, haha) Here is the copy we received:
Did you available on my wedding day? Date:10/25/2012 Venue:Northern Alberta get back for more detail.
Most of them, probably all of them had the subject “Wedding Photographer needed” and seemed to be targeting Alberta Bridal Guide listings in Northern AB.
Be Careful!
About niko
Nicholas ("everyone calls me 'Niko'" ) Lourotos is an original founder and the managing partner of Bridal Network Inc. (2001) He launched the first online wedding directory in Canada in 1995 (remember? when we still used modems!) and has happily remained in this space ever since.
These days, he prefers to be called the "Network Manager". A suitably vague job description which allows him to float a lot, talk to people a lot, go to lunch a lot, brainstorm a lot and blog a lot - and generally oversee the network and try to keep his finger on the pulse of the industry.
