    I had the exact email at 10.24 this morning only mine was blue text.

    So how much are you gonna quote then?? I`ll make sure I don`t undercut you lol

    Does make you wonder what they do with the banners though lol!!

    Cheers

    Gary, the Rev. Wonder is very prudent to shop around.

    Guess he or should I say ‘He’ doesn’t want to get ripped off!

    Price: 3 fish, 2 loaves and a bottle of wine.

    😀

    I’ve had a similar one over the past 2 days asking for a quote for 80 banners.
    Obviously another Nigerian scam so binned straight away.
    I suppose someone somewhere will send off a quote….

    whatever you do don’t reply. Even if its a joke or a mickey take. Once they know the email address is live your spam will go through the roof. I have had to close 2 email addresses because staff replied in jest to them.
    Generally they will try to overpay you ‘by mistake’ in advance and then ask you to wire the overpaid money to them by western union. Then later you find the card has been stolen. I don’t quite understand how they do that last bit.
