Hello, I would like to place an order regarding printing of banners from your outfit. Reply me with pricing for three banners of size 12ft x 18ft (3.7m x 5.5m)so I can send you my artwork, Let me know if you accept credit card payments. Looking forward to hear from you ASAP.
To which I replied with a ridiculous price:
$1900 each. Plus shipping & tax. Thanks for asking
Then he replied with legitimate artwork:
Hello, Thank you for the reply. The banners would be single sided and have grommets on the sides two feet apart on the sides Have a look at the artwork.Quote pick up pricing. What would be the lead time?
I replied: 3-5 days from approval
What do you think?? Anyone else get these? He is from a 203 area code?

got it...from peter graham..sent aids artwork. the thing that resembled others before was the line..reply me with pricing. We have gone thru this before and got so far as to turn the credit card numbers into the authorities who in turn had the cc holders call us.They would keep giving us numbers until they had a valid one and would then use the card for other things. In other words we found valid card numbers for them by running them thru our systems ! I do believe it is a scam. Suze

I like the ones who ask (by phone) may I speak with the manager. I will then say, may I speak with your manager? That catches them off guard. I then say I want your personal ph.# your social security # your address, with zip code. I go on to mention the score of the last baseball game watched and talk about the camping trip I just came back from. I then say if you want to know more you will have to speak to my aunt who just walked in the door.

Thank you all for your input. Noone needs to lose money, especially these days. It just threw me when they sent usable artwork, scaled correctly and everything.

sad to think where they probably got that artwork... some unsuspecting new sign guy, without the benefit of these sort of posts
