Photographers and other Internet Scams
Dear Photographer
We are writing to inform you of potential scams that are directed at photographers. Please be aware that these are generally very common and are not limited to you as photographers or specifically ourweddingmemories.co.uk. This is an issue for many websites and their registered users.
More details of individual scams can be found at http://www.ourweddingmemories.co.uk/files/scams.htm.
The latest we have been made aware of is of someone purporting to represent a USA based photography company, AW Photography. The company say that these individuals are not connected or represent the company in anyway. We are unsure of what these individuals hope to gain from this but if you have been in correspondence following one of these e-mails please let us know the outcome. We recommend ceasing contact and inform the authorities if you have any concerns.
More details of this issue can be found at http://www.ourweddingmemories.co.uk/files/scams.htm and there is a link to this page within your account.
We recommend that for any contracts or assignments, only do business with trusted individuals, preferably whom you have met in person and stick to your usual terms and conditions. Never agree to accept a larger payment than you have quoted and send the balance to a third party.
**Remember, if an offer seems too good to be true it generally is!!
If you know or have been a victim of other scams please let us know so we can try to protect others.
If you need to edit, purchase or renew a listing please login to your account at http://www.ourweddingmemories.co.uk/files/login.php and follow the instructions.
If you require information on advertising opportunities or have had trouble with the system please let us know so we can assist.
