We get these all the time. Unfortunately they are sent out in bulk and they can just move onto a new email address if you report them for abuse. We can spot them a mail off these days. Always for lots of people and a long booking.

I once had someone like that contact me. He might have been legit, but he was scared off when I told him that my prices are my prices regardless of his commission, and that for legal purposes the clients themselves had to sign my contract (which shows my prices on it). :)

Maxd,
Always for lots of people and a long booking.
I am involved in long bookings and they have always had one thing in common – they are never for lots of people.
