Why would he need to send you an airline ticket to get from Surrey to London ???????

Very odd. The wording sounds like those scams asking to take payment out of a large money order and return the difference.

it all sounds very strange, even down to the friend referring them to you via a search engine - totally wierd
i would personally avoid like the plague, if it doesnt feel comfortable its not worth the hassle

Yes I was wondering as I have had a few asking me to store money into my bank account I will get to the bottom of it!

I will play along (obviously give no details) I really want to be able to put my finger on it!

well now you know it is a scam, block them. if they want your account details, then they are thieves.

dont give them any info at all. just report them to your service provider.

if you think its dodgy then go with your gut but you could be missing a good chance ...have you tryed googling there e mail address ? or looking for it on face book or my space? if its a personal e mail you might find it, but(not always) and if it is a scam addresss it might come up in google.

I will defo report them. Thank you hun xxx

The plot thickens!

Hi, hmm am I dectecting bit of a dictator here with this request ?
it could be cosher and all ok , and if you are interested in the request...

I am thinking you must ask more about themselves in a business like but tactful way and things will hopefully come to light ?
think about some questions you may need to ask them first ?

also what if you do a trial for them and they sack you off ? all that way for nothing ,

why arent they using someone closer ? and why is a man choosing his Brides make up artist ?
just thinking though....he may be gay and it's a gay wedding ?
well that's fine but ...you will need to know these things first for the skin coverage ect...

find out what didn't he like about how the first make up artist performed ect... so you can get it right ect....?

at the end of the day.... if you want to do it you need to know more about the client and who you are dealing with ,then you can suss out if it's a wind up or wether its worth it to your business with all that travelling ?

plus make it clear that you cannot stay in a strangers home over night

if you are unsure at all .....tell them you don't travel without your personal assistant and he may not be available to accompany you at that time
ect.... plus you only ever stay over night in a nearby travel lodge ect...

Sounds like a scam to me, but when I got married my hubby dealt with the hotel as I hated their wedding co-ordinator and got worked up every time I spoke to her. Maybe as they've been let down he's sorting it for her. Although I wouldn't have let him sort my mua.

ha ha they want to feed you that made me chuckle lols x

Who knows if its genuine or not, but I would ay trust your instinct. What if you agreed, got up there, and had to stay with people you don't trust and really know nothing about? I wouldn't want to do it! Just tell them that you are already booked out for those days and tell them that you can recommend another mua closer to their location.

He has provided me with a phone number. I will call him tomorrow xxx

reading this red flags are popping up all over, i would not entertain it

ask them for a contact number and tell them you will ring them back to discuss it further, i bet you won't hear from them anymore. Sounds dodgy to me i wouldn't bother, but like i said ask them where they live, contact number etc.
