New Scam Alert for those who have their own websites

Recently I was contacted through a free Google My Business, regarding a proposal for commercial graphic design work.  After telling him the expense I would charge, that did NOT scare him off.  I looked at his proposal, and then did some research.  There's this scam going around, and my conversation went very similar to these.  So I would advise anyone to beware.  If it doesn't feel right, do NOT do any work or waste you or their time!  Read this:  https://www.sumydesigns.com/designersdevelopers-dont-fall-for-this-scam/

Good for you for checking this out! These people are incorrigible and some are even HONORED BY THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.  I have been enthralled with the youtube videos where people try to and succeed in finding these scammers and, if nothing else, wasting the scammers' time-----there's a lot to learn about how they work and who these scammers really are.  

Here's what I have cookin' over at Pinterest lately
