Scam Alert
Friday, Jul 23rd, 2010 in Photography News, The IPWS Blog by Alan Murphy | 1 Comment
It appears that some of you have gotten enquiries from a Doctor Jeff Smith. It is a scam and should be put into the trash immediately – unless you are one of those people who enjoy stringing scammers along – I know a couple of you exist out there.
Scams like this are everywhere on the internet and really people should beware of anything that is too easy and under no circumstances should you exchange bank drafts etc unless you have checked them out fully.
Thanks, Alan

Thanks for the heads up on Dr Jeff Smith. I got one of these requests. I was suspicious as it was too easy a deal
