Thayenga, it would be so funny if I asked them to be me in advance ! Ah ah !
The mail is really from an agency which is well noted on blue board.
I'll have to check more though...


Well, Evelyne, you would then only be playing their game, everything must be provided before any job materializes.

Have you cross-checked their Blue Board entries? Sometimes the "I'll scratch your back, if you scratch mine" principle becomes effective. I'm not saying that this is/might be the case here, but you need to verify everything.

As Robert stated, first comes the job, then all required information will be provided on the first invoice. This is the proper business procedure. Unless you really, really want to work with this agency, stick by your guns.

Check full headers, IPs, etc. Apr 15, 2016

Just an additional check you can easily carry out. Most scammers seem to include fake "from" addresses, but checking the email full headers usually gives them away. I've also seen other scams where scammers take the URL from a well known company/agency and create a slightly modified version of it. Also, a WHOIS on the originating IP might help some. E.g. If the company is from Germany and the originating IP is in Palestine, then there might be some reason for concern...
