Is this a scam?

    It sounds like the sort of vague wording used by scammers to lure you in.

    I would venture that after you would give them a quote, they would propose that they send you a check for more than the quote (usually with some B.S. reason why) and have you cash the check and give them the difference when they picked the goods up. Of course, their check would be later found to be bogus, and you would be out the materials/labor as we ll as the 'excess cash' you gave them back.

    Just wondering as it sounds dodgy!

    I'm a small independent freelance Graphic/web Designer and I'm battling to get a couple of design jobs per year and know this arrived in my Gmail account at 3:30am this morning (Australian time)!

    Hey Mark, it would have been better if you stated something aside from that question.

    Anyway, if sounds like giving you money free, it is a scam.

    If it sounds like you double your money in a day or a week, it is a scam.

    If it's a lady saying he is hot and waiting for you, then go for it! ^_^
