Pointless email or scam?

Post by WelshFramer »

Just received this email:
=========
Hi I am looking for a mount cutter. Could you please
quote me a price.

Thank yoyu JACKIE
=========

Wondering what it's about.

Should I replay and say £25,000 per year for a full-time mount cutter?

Lol - if her email address is complete gibberish then it's definitely a scam.

I don't see the point of an email that's so obviously spam - it doesn't make sense...!

It's obviously sent by the same type of idiot who phones a frame shop and says "I have a picture that's 18 x 12. How much to frame it"!

I think if I received such an email, the delete button would have been pressed rather quickly.

Well at least it was brief and to the point. Wish I had a few more enquiries like that. Someone wants to buy a mountcutter. Where should I go? I know, I'll e-mail a framer.

Simples. :D
