Public Service Announcement
Photographers must be on guard for scammers. One scam involves fraudulent payments that somehow get stuck with the photographer. It all starts out with an out-of-the-blue request for services. Today's was this ...
"my name is xx and I need a photographer."
ME -- Great. What do you need?
"I'll be needing your full photography coverage service for my daughter's upcoming Quinceanera ceremony that'll occur June 6 2025. Will you be available?"
RED FLAG -- six days away
ME -- Yes I'm available. Can you talk?
"OK sounds good. I wish I could make a call but due to my present condition here in hospital I'm hearing impaired and will have surgery soon so the only way I can communicate with you is via texting. I hope you don't mind my current condition."
BIG RED FLAG Can't make this up.
ME -- OK. Tell me more.
"The event is basically going to be held at my newly acquired property here ... ADDRESS GIVEN ... time 12-7. 90 guests. 7 hours. Let me know cost of service...
RED FLAG google shows small house ... for 90 people!
ME -- Sorry. There are many scammers so I need to talk. Have your daughter call me.

SILENCE

If I had continued, next he'd want a price. Maybe I say $1000. Then he wants to pay in advance... Then he overpays.
There are two variations from here that i've heard.
A. They send me $1500 -- using venmo or something similar, then they hound me to pay back the $500 overpayment. So I pay it. But the initial transaction turns out fraudulent so now I'm out real money.
B. I get $1500, I'm hounded to pay "florist" $500. But again the original transaction is bogus so I'm out.

I can also report that these calls are evolving. Now they are giving a real address "newly acquired", whereas before I'd find an empty lot where the party was planned.

What a country!

This weekend I was hired to take post-engagement photos of Jeff and Emily, and if possible capture on-the-sly the actual engagement moment. The place was Boston's beautiful Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Always tricky to be incognito stalking a couple as they make their way around a public space, especially as we had not worked out specifically when the question would be asked. (the mom hired me, not the son). As luck would have it, I spotted the moment from an upstairs window and all worked out. And she did say yes!!
