Are you available for a photography service? I want to book you and have you take care of the photography job at my upcoming family reunion, I'm looking at December 20th, but I don't know maybe the date is open, if the date is open with you that would be okay, also what is your accurate cost for 5 hours service. Thanks |

 Screen Grab Hi All, LinkedIn removed the profile and private message between the time that I received this message (7:09 pm ET Thursday, 27 June 2024) and now (9 am ET Friday, 28 June 2024. I asked ChatGPT-4o if this is a scam:   Have you received a message like this via LinkedIn? Best, P.S. Here is the text of the message to make it easier for other photographers to find this post: "Hello, I'm Sarah. My employer is from Sweden and plans to start a large film and television photography production company in New York. You have extensive experience in the field of photography, so I contacted you and we can talk about future cooperation. If possible, please leave your phone number or WhatsApp number, and my employer will contact you as soon as possible. Thank you." |
