Beware - Nigerian scammers now targeting photographers...

[chris.mapey]

I just received this email...

Please be aware that it appears that the scammers are now targetting photographers. (Or am I really missing out on a genuine opportunity ) - seems short notice to get me all the way to Nigeria as well.

I have to say that if I hired a wedding planner who didn't have a photographer sorted 4 weeks before my wedding, I'd be asking some "searching" questions....
