The initial contact looked like many other requests I receive for project estimates. The scammer indicated the were in search of design and layout services for a brochure. As the conversation progressed, the scammer quickly wanted to talk about payment, even before any actual design parameters were discussed. By the 4th email the scammer requested I send an invoice for $4,000 whereby I would keep $1,000 as a deposit on the project and send $2,900 to his "project consultant" (I would also receive a $100 tip in the deal!).

I received an email from a Eugene Hills ([email protected]) through ScamPulse.com quote services.

Eugene’s email:

Hello, I’m Eugene Hills and I’ll like to know if you can handle Brochure and Logo Design for my company. Kindly get back to me so i can send you the details in full. Thank you. graphics design needed.

I was excited about the prospect of new work through the ScamPulse.com and responded immediately. He wrote back fairly quickly, with very detailed project info and requesting a quote. At first I thought it could be a legitimate project, but I started to suspect it may be a scam. His choice of words/grammar seemed a little off, but I replied again explaining my process before creating a proposal – I insisted on a telephone call. He wrote back again claiming he was on a business trip and was too busy to talk on the phone and that his phone "recently fell down" and was malfunctioning. He also indicated that he had a $2000 budget and that his "project consultant" would be handling sending files. I wrote him back one final time stating that I would not be able to provide a proposal without confirming a few things with him by phone. I have not heard from him since.

I just found out that my friend who is also in the ScamPulse.com received the exact same email, so I feel like he’s targeting all creative folks in the BBB. Beware!
