Scam Alert for Bridal Network Advertisers
 

This is the 2nd time I have dealt with a scammer. For those advertising at the Bridal Network, please be wary of this lady, I am witholding her name but I am pasting her email. What alerted me was her ignorance of my location, I advertise under the Ontario province, she gave me a BC address & without the benefit of a contract she is already sending me the money. She'll send you a bogus check & overpay you. If you inform her of the overpayment, she will ask you to give the money to her supposed caterer.

1st email:

Name: xxxxxx
EMail: xxxxxxxxx
Subject: i need your service
I need your service on my wedding the that's why i sent you this message to let you know maybe you to be available for that date 16 of march 2009 and i will like to know your price if you don't mind that. I will wait to read from you soon.




2nd email:

Hello,

kamloops, bc k2b1e6 and you will be working for me for 6 hours and i will like your work to be very clean and clear,i think i told you the date of the wedding day and the time is 11:00 and i don't want any disappointment at all.i will like to know the total price for very thing so that i can arrange for your money

This is a common web scam and it's not limited to Bridal Network. I really can't believe anyone falls for it anymore.

The bad grammar always tips me off. When I get stuff like this I simply request a phone number so that I may speak with them. Scammers don't like to be outted so they usually run/hide when you ask them for any personal info that could potentially verify who they really are.

I don't know. Sounds like Borat is finally getting married.
