Don't wanna turn this down!

Not sure what you're asking in this thread? Are you looking for someone to supply the banners for you? Looking for help on pricing?

Chaz

He's probably trying to figure out his shipping costs for the guy. In his excitement, he forgot to ask that.

 

[Behrmon]

You should charge your phone.

 

[TimToad]

Leroy is losing his touch, the last "order" we got from him was for 120 banners.

 

[Kottwitz-Graphics]

You should charge your phone.

Ohhhh...that's pretty good. I missed that.

 

[BigPrintn]

tell LeRoy I still have his 100 banners ready for pick up!

 

[TyrantDesigner]

And my 100 dozen shirts, 90 banners and 20k business cards.

These folks will try any industry and any angle, usually trying to prop themselves up with some religious context or false identity.

In 2003, I wanted to take a break from signmaking and graphic design and my wife has a background in food service so we opened a B&B and ran it for seven years. Ends up I still did plenty of signs on the side, but its all good.

Point being, we were bombarded by these phishing emails constantly. Our average stay was 2-5 nights and 99% of the time it was couples.

The fake requests were always from some Reverend, Pastor, etc... who would be coming through our area for some religious "event" and he needed the entire place for his group for like 2 weeks, totally out of our normal request. It was always the same MO, send us the price for rooms and we'll send you a cashier's check for over that amount and then send him back the difference for his transportation costs or some other bullshiite.

I usually ignored them or would mess with them for a few emails until the scammers realized I wasn't falling for it.

The sad part was that at a B&B Association meeting once, a colleague who was a little on the naive side, shared with the group that she had been taken by one of these guys for several thousand dollars. She actually did what the scammer requested and her bank nailed her for the bogus check plus overdraft fees, etc.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Yup, a florist in my town got nailed for it, they put together hundreds of bouquets, along with chocolates and all the bells and whistles, in the end they lost almost $12,000 didn't realize it was a scam until the bank told them.

I've seen news stories warning against this stuff for at least a decade and I guess the counterfeit checks are so well one, that even the banks are fooled until they try to redeem them.

When I have time I love to get these guys hopes up. Countless emails and as many crazy questions as I can think of. The last one I dealt with, I felt a bit bad, so I decided I would upgrade his banner request of (IT SHALL COME TO PASS) <-- just as he wrote it, and include a picture of Mr. Fernandez, or at least my interpretation of him. Sadly I never heard back from him, I have a feeling whatever it was he was trying to pass became the death of him.
