mike_hallock Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Good evening all. I advertise a lot on Craig's List and a gentleman responded to my ad that he is in need of a wedding photographer in Honolulu on July 28th. He is deaf and why he contacted me I don't know, but being the kind heart that I am, I said that I would put out the word to my compadres and see if anything could show up. His email address is: Mark barth <mbarthm@gmail.com> Please get in touch with him as soon as possible. Thank you. Mike Hallock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_kinosh Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 SCAM................. With a g-mail account anything is possible. Are you in Hawaii? He will tell you that he will send a check aand it will be for more than your fees for some reason. Just send him a check for the difference adn all will be OK> NOT>................... His check will be no good and you are out the difference. This has been covered here in the past Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_ Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 One would think most photographers in Hawaii would be in the telephone directory. Much closer to the wedding, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_sato Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi. I live in Honolulu. Now whether this guy is local or not, there are TONS of wedding photogs here. Good ones. Wedding photography was considered one of the most growth oriented occupations in the islands less then a year ago. Not to be distrustful, but yes, this gentleman could easily find a local photog who could do him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy s. Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Oh Edsel.. Why don't you just call "Bob Haskell" and have him do the shoot with you assisting? Or was that Bob-areena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellie1 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I got the same email from Mark Barth two days ago! (Actually I got 2 different emails because I had two ads up. Shame on me.) Poor, poor deaf man. All he wants is someone to photograph his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joann Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 These guys infuriate me, now the guys say their deaf? That's so he won't have to talk on the phone with you and blow his cover - why, this guy named Mark Barth or Bob Hasell has a heavy Nigerian accents.

michael_brinkerhoff Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Scam I just got the email and apparently the wedding is now on August 18th. This Hallock guy has really been spreading the word on other forums too. www.michaelbrinkerhoff.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
