But no company name is mentioned, nor any specific photos. It doesn't smell right. I am 99.44% sure that this is simply a phishing attempt, and I'm inclined to ignore it. But just on the offchance that it is real, has anyone else heard of this person? The email was from "Ma'gorzata Mitrega," gosia at ateko.pl" The "e" in Mitrega had a circumflex accent, which I don't believe is part of the Polish alphabet. Here's the email: ------- begin mail clip ----------- Dear Sir, we are a calendar producer from Poland. We would like to purchase some of your images for our calendars. Please inform us, if we can do this. If yes,pleas let us know, how ? We would also like to know, what are the coasts for this. best regards Magorzata Mitrga ------------ end mail clip ------------ The email was preceded, an hour before, by a request to photo.net for my email address. While I read and very occasionally post a comment on photo.net, I do not use their image hosting. In the past, I probably posted a few links to my personal site or the LUG gallery. Has anyone else on the LUG encountered this? --Peter
