Yeah, just continue to flag these and report to WeddingWire. If it's in your REGULAR email inbox, just delete it. We get a few of these a day, and just ignore them!

I just think it's funny that this guy believes we are stupid enough to give him that kind of information. I deleted it, as always, but it's still funny to me.

Defo spam!! They try and make you take deposits then they'll cancel it and ask you to refund money to another card- using a stolen card to pay then refunded onto theirs! Spoked from experience as the hotel I work in has been caught out by this sort of scam!!

No, it is not Spam from wedding wire. I get them on occasion as well. As far as how they're getting information, I'm not sure. But I have our business contact information listed several places online. Probably, they're just trolling for emails related to weddings and hoping someone will bite.

Artistic: She is doing better, thank you for asking. We have to go back to the cornea specialist tomorrow for a re check..she says it still bothers her, but it's not as painful He did say she would have permanante scaring, though, I am hoping it's not too bad for her.
I delete those emails. I just found it soooo funny b/c I'm planning my own wedding. Fh said to me last night, "I have an idea. When we hit the 10 yr anniversery, lets do a vow renewal." I told him, "HELL NO!!! With all the stress of planning THIS wedding, you want me to go through it all over again....? I don't think so." He tried to put up an arguement for it, but I just looked at him and he got it and went to sleep.

Write back and tell him to send you the money and you'll set him up alright.

Don't respond...they then know they reached a valid email/person and will send more in different forms. It's tempting to lead them on, but don't! These guys are scam pros. Another vendor had her facebook hacked into after talking with these guys and they sent out her status as stranded in London with her purse stolen; please send money to help her get home!! He tried to extort her family and friends.
