I received this email this morning...

Subject: Inquire for a Photograher...
From: "Rev. John fegesin" <rev_fegesin@mac.com>

Hi,
I am Rev. George Clarke, an editor for the journal of The first baptist church here
in Ghana. i would be visiting the states in the month of October for a week. The
reason for this visit is that i have been invited by The First Baptist Church of
Richardson, Texas to fellowship with them.This event will however be published in
our Church journal and as a result there would be the need to take some pictures of
this gathering.

From my inquiries on photographers in the area, your name came up. I would like to
know if you would be available on the Sunday which would be the 14th Of October,
2007 to cover this event for me? If there is the possibility that you would be
available, i would want to know your price quotations. The event is supposed to take
a maximum of 4 hours.
I am counting on your corporation and you can contact me directly on +233 274 455
324 for more information.

Yours Faithfully
Rev. George Clarke..
Tel: +233 274 455 324

I called First Baptist Church of Richardson (972-235-9296 - www.fbcr.org) and they said I am the second photographer who has inquired about this email this morning and they don't know what this is about....so if you get it, you can file it in the circular bin

Hahaha! I got that same exact email this morning! I thought, well, they did provide a phone number and church name, but I deleted it anyway.

I would think that there is a very good chance that the phone number listed is an off-shore mega-bucks per minute number that would rack up the charges and be next to impossible to get out of paying.

Smart move to contact the Church and throw it away.
