Hands up those that have received the following e-mail. Some of the addresses in the header looked very familier! Obviously some kind of scam. But how does it work do you reckon? Are they just trying to get your banking details? (I'm clever I am! 
)
Anyway - I'm fully booked for May :D
Hi,
I am Linda Bryann,the secretary of a wedding committe that has been constituted to see to the smooth running of my boss's son's wedding ceremony.
I am saddled with the responsibilty of locating and arranging for a good and experienced wedding videographer.
So,i searched through the net and after seeing your site and work,i found you to be appropriate for the videographic work of the wedding ceremony.
The details of the wedding are as follows:
Date of the wedding: 15th of May 2005
Type of wedding: social
venue of the wedding:[Church and reception will be held in the same place, london]
Time of wedding: 11 A.M.
Every other necessary details will be forwarded to you as soon as they are available. So, how much will your service cost me including your transport fare.
Lest i forget, our payment is by cheque.So,after telling me the price
and your availability, i will need your details to write the cheque.
Thanks in anticipation of your favourable response.
Bryann.
There`s quite a detailed post on VenueIP giving info on how the scam works.
I`ve had 3 of these in the last month!
Same usual tripe, it's the cheque which is the clue, normally the first question is how much...
