Hello, Here is Kevin. Are you available for a photography service?

I want to book you and have you take care of the photography job at my upcoming family reunion, I'm looking at December 20th, but I don't know maybe the date is open, if the date is open with you that would be okay, also what is your accurate cost for 5 hours service.

Thanks

No, I have never seen it.

What are they planning to scam people on doing it that way?

Have you ever head of a "Sales Manager" at a hospital?!

Could you imagine a hospital using a gmail email address?!

Did you receive this email or something similar?
