Hi Larissa,
Back home so soon? I've been sending "sunshine vibes" in your direction. It was truly a pleasure to meet you and spend some time. I hope our paths cross again, and give me a call the next time you're on the West Coast.
Best,
Bobbin

ya know, Courvoisier gets credit for being "hot", but you ladies sure know how to heat up a room, too!

Julie,
Very wise advice indeed to always get paid in advance anyway, especially with overseas transactions. Scammers won't 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.
Thanks for dropping in to comment.

Best,
Bobbin

I 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.

Of course, payment never came and I never heard from the guy again.

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!
