Hello
Attached is my art-work for this project. However i want the canvas photo printed with the following specs,
1. Measures 8x10
2. Provide quote on 1000 and 2000 Copies
4. Do u accept credit card.
note:
IF YOU PRINT ANYTHING APART FROM THIS LET ME KNOW
God Bless you - please quote according
The Comic Sans was preserved from the original email for the true scam feeling. This scammer didn't even bother to send it to the right email (we were on the BCC list, along with I'm sure a whole lot of other printing companies). There was no attachment to the email. We have also never heard from this person before.
This e-mail does not even deserve a reply.
Stay Safe,
Michael

so how is this supposed to trick you. You give them a Quote and then what happens?
Paul, Its the same concept as the Banner scam:

A brief summary would be that they give you someone elses credit card, have you wire money to the "shipper", and then a month later when the credit card owner gets the bill they dispute your charges and you are out the money. Message me if you have questions & please post any emails like this you get!
Thanks!
Michael
