Ok, here's a non wedding related post. A little ranting coming along...
Not sure what luck got into me yesterday. First, I was stood up (aka flown aeroplane) by a customer. Next I received a scamming lucky draw call which was so professionally 'setup' till the last part when things go too fishy.
For the stand up, I'm not too angry though I had to rush in between appointments and took a cab down to the agreed meeting place. Waited for 1.5hr before leaving. My calls and SMSes were not answered. Rather dissapointed with how much respect we get sometimes. On the other hand, I still give the benefit of doubt that there was a miscommunication between me and client. Hope she calls me again on this.
For the lucky draw thing. The scammers sure set the whole thing up pretty professionally and I was lead on for a while. I knew it's time to stop when they started to ask me to transfer $3.5k to their account. Wasted about 2hrs to 'research' on such scamming schemes. Maybe I'll just link you to this blog for more details.
The website quoted by the scammer is http://www.hkjb3c.com. A little too 'professionally done' for a company of it's 'calibre' I think. Haha.
So if you are reading this....beware of such a scam.
Anyway, my spirits are still high despite all these. :)
