Scammers won't&nbsp; use paypal, but I have heard that fraudulent credit card use abounds in scams too, and it sometimes takes weeks for the banks to tell you the card was no good.<br /> Thanks for dropping in to comment.<br /> <br /> Best,<br /> BobbinBobbin Beam2010-07-21T15:59:17Zhttp://blog.bobbinbeam.com/2010/07/21/voiceover-scam-alert.aspx#comment-3341151I was "hired" for the same job. They first told me it paid something like $150. I submitted with a bid over $1000. They "hired" me. I was suspicious (I can't recall what the red flags were, actually, but it seems like I was to get other talent involved...) and I told them I would have the audio returned to them within 24 hours of receipt of payment by paypal, VISA or Mastercard.<br /><br />Of course, payment never came and I never heard from the guy again.<br /><br />This is why I ALWAYS require pay in advance from overseas clients. Period. Even checks that clear can be returned months later--and bank charges back your account. So don't ever accept an overseas check. Ever. For any reason!Julie Williams2010-07-21T15:11:02Zhttp://blog.bobbinbeam.com/2010/07/14/the-success-creed.aspx#comment-3319574Stefania, <br /> No problem.
