VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Got this e-mail yesterday. My website stats showed a hit from Nigeria yesterday. The reply e-mail addy in the message is to another legitimate VO talent's email. Could this guy be spoofing his addy??
Be careful out there. Anyone else get this?

As I learned from listening to a former local radio host years ago, [/i]any e-mail from Nigeria is a scam of some sort. Which is why I have a little chuckle then hit delete.

Hi David,

Yes I am able to help with this project. I am unsure of the currency 600 - 1,000 pounds sterling, US dollars? Perhaps you would let me know.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for your warm message and thanks for your prompt response,Firstly i would like to know your personal info(age e.t.c)incase i need to know you in person...

Secondly,The Language has to be English and you must convincingly follow a script without sounding like you're following a script. I'm looking for an approachable relaxed sounding voice, not sugary sweet, exagerated or slutty..

Thirdly,payment can be made in advance via (CHECK) payable to you by POUNDS or any addressy from you..

Thanks for your kind reply
David


David,

You will see from my website all of the information necessary to establish my professional credibility and due to issues on the internet regarding identity theft I see no reason to provide any further personal details. As I have not been able to trace a website for your company, due to you contacting me using a yahoo email address and giving no landline telephone number or business address I feel I must be cautious. I hope you understand my reasons are no indictment of you personally.

Needless to say there will be no problem providing the standard of production you require.

Best regards

Philip Banks

I posted a question awhile back regarding strange inquiries from "musicians" wanting to record a project at my studio (the closet). I got no response, so I figured the topic wasn't interesting. As long as Tom has brought up Nigerian voiceover scams, I'll paste an email I received this morning:

<<<
Attention: With multiplication of love and addition of happiness, I sincerely wish to record my continued appreciations, express my profound gratitude and my warmest thanks, for the great stars of musicians that are happily glad for their satisfaction of their desires and goals, through the tremendous support and effectiveness of your embodiment.
