Hello!

I have received this email from a lady called Belinda Payne and its very suspicious ([email protected]). I was stupid enough to give her my address and name. What do you think?


Hello Nick

I am so sorry to have responded back late, its due to the nature of my job not being around. Please understand other gurus where also invited for this job just to enable me choose the right candidate but after reviewing all portfolio and resumes' i have decided to award this job to you as i believe you can handle it. Its not some thing really serious as all i need is sweet matured logo for a mini new ice cream joint and also a nice design for my business card and good. I just need you to help develop some thing real good for my business and give me total cost on what it would cost me to enable proceed since money is not a problem. My favorite color is Black but wont mind any color ideas for the job. Beyond the color scheme, I think a logo that would look good on anything would be good - it would look good carved out in stone or wood, look good as an ear ring, on high heels and tennis shoes, look good as a hologram, look good on a T-Shirt, look good on a clothes tag, look good in tye-dye colors, and so on.


Tilizing modern computer graphics, You can make images of the logo in those scenarios - carved out in stone against a black background to see how it would look at night, and against a blue background on a T-shirt to see how it would look in day, and many more combinations like that.Just make me a memorable, easily recognized, and spectacular logo, and put this logo in different colors, carve it out in metal, wood, and stone (on the computer), put it on a sign above a building, and more - And we'll see how it looks on shoes, sandals, the seats of pants, T-Shirts, hats, and more.

It's a scam, the check you are sent will be fake and "she" will overpay you and want the extra sent to a 3rd party or refunded.

Freelance sites like Guru offer escrow services to protect both parties and any one avoiding using them is almost certainly a scammer.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

I've had the same correspondance with Belinda, also through Guru and with exact same email. The cheque actually arrived and I cashed it earlier, I informed her and then yes, just as you said, "she" said that is was for the wrong amount and could I send on the over-payed amount to the third party.
With the cheque came also a phone number with a note saying "phone for further instructions". I was already approaching this with caution however I have had odd clients in the past so was seeing it out, I will cancel the cheque tomorrow which has already cost me a processing fee. Would you recommend I do anything else? who should I report this too?
The email was changed to belindapayne @ linuxmail.org

They will now of course have my phone number and address, what damage can be done with this information?
