Wedding photographer paid by large cashier's check

This scam that targets professional photographers in the UK, US and maybe other countries is run by criminals in West Africa. It is a variation of a similar scam involving cars and other big ticket items sold in classified ads. The criminal poses as someone arranging a wedding. He contacts a professional photographer to book him for a wedding. Then he/she sends a large cashier's check as payment. The check is larger than the amount of the photography package.

The photographer is asked to cash the check and wire the extra amount to a third party, supposedly a wedding planner, a band or other entity associated with the wedding. The check is fake and the victim wires several thousand dollars of his own money to the criminals if he falls for this scam.

Please send us any such emails you may have received and we will publish them (withholding your name and email address, of course) to warn other photographers and to assist law enforcement investigating such cases.

getting married soon in the United State on the 25th of NOV 2006
and I will like you to take care of the Photographs. I came across
your advert on the Internet and am impressed with your services.
All expenses would be taken care of;/perhaps
you can give me the total/Quotes charges, plus the transportation
cost for you down to VENUE @ The Catholic Diocese-
421 Main St, Youngstown, PA 15696

Please I want the best services from you, because this is my only
daughter so I want the best for her. So your best effort is needed
at this occasion.Pls Let me know the charges for your service if
you are to work for at most 2 Hours on that day,10 am to 12 noon.
We want about 60 beautiful wedding different photos in coloured
form in the church and reception and of both
the bride and the bridegroom, their parents, the officiating
ministers and our guests.We will want you to work for 2 Hours at
the occasion,so kindly get back to me with the total cost
including transportation charges to and from the venue.Also,we will have the photographs snapped at the wedding forwarded to the Publisher of a Magazine Company in United Kingdom so they could feature it in their celebrity journal. At
this moment,.

I look forward to your response.
David Smith
