Sh!t...same thing here. I wondered what was up, so I asked detailed informational questions. Let's see...

You might want to abandon the email address you used.  It's probably already been sold on to other scammers so they can bombard you with other scams.

Never ever reply to these things.

THANK YOU FOR THIS FORUM! I have received 2 emails from 2 different "companies" in the past week. The contract that the OP posted was sent to me for a $1500 shoot in Uvalde, TX. Then the other email was EXACTLY what ShavonneMarie posted... I knew it was suspicious when I couldn't even Google the companies..
