This email was posted on another VO site.

I got a request for a HipHop DJ voiceover today, citing voiceovers.com
as the site they got my email address from - but I am not on there.

What they wanted was my Paypal email address right off the bat to send
me money right away - without asking if I take Paypal.

When I checked the email address of the sender, the only reference to
it on Google was as a user name on a Hacker's website.

I have had a hack my Moenybookers account attempted recently, and of
course, if your Paypal password is strong there should be no problem.

I am very wary of people asking me for my Paypal address who use
hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc email addresses and have no website and give
no company address.
This is the original request.
Hi, I got your email address from voiceoverdirectory.com.

I have my own R&B/HipHop mixshow. Every few weeks we play a brand new exclusive track, and I would like to pay you to send me a short 10 second dry voice MP3, in a normal voice, that I can play at the start of the song on air. If your interested, each time we get an exclusive track I’ll pay you for a new one!! Here is an example script of what I’m looking for;

"This is the brand new single from Bobby Valentino...its called “Walking Away”.. and features Lil Wayne… stay tuned so we can keep bringing you hottest in Hip Hop & R&B".

If interested, email me at guexxwho@hotmail.com and let me know how much, and also your paypal address. I will then PayPal you right away!!! And you can email me the mp3 whenever your able to record it Smile

Thanks so much.
Shawn.
