Yes I recently received a similar email, and replyed to it. By the third email they asked for Name, address, phone, maratial status. I replyed by asking if they needed my tax ID and SS number, (in sarcasim)they sent back a message saying that the info would be needed the day of the shoot. I said no thanks. That was the last I heard from them.
Careful with these kinds of scams. It has been reported that photographers are being robbed of their equipment and/or kidnapped when they show up for the "shoot".

Good idea.
Why don't these scammers hire someone to compose their emails? It's like they don't realize that the bad grammer is the first thing that triggers a 'scam alert'...

Given where such scams originate, I think these scammers don't really know their English grammar is so poor and that it acts as a scam alert.
