The other day I was contacted by someone asking me if I do reunion event photography. I replied that I do and would the opportunity to do it. We exchanged several emails about it. We agreed on a price and started the process. I sent the contract for them to sign. She replied everything looks great, but my bank has restrictions on things like Venmo. She wanted to send me an electronic check, asking me to send my name and bank name. I immediately started feeling kind of suspicious, so i asked her to do it thru PayPal. Nope she wanted to do it via E-check only. I told her i didn't feel comfortable doing that, so if she insisted, I recommend she find a new photographer. Was I wrong?

Shouts out to @Jairo Saucedo @Steven Curtis @Maximilian Kluzek!!! I love having really dedicated people in the group who are trying their hardest to learn and seek out new information!
