xgarcia Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 why do people have to bother like this though.... erased and put on my blocked senders list. btw - here is a way to keep your block list when formatting windows (I found this is the best way to fight spam for me - Spam Inspector does the same thing - it creates a blocked list): http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;276511 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisus Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Hi, Awful these kind of mails. I hate that stuff. A few months ago, I also received a proposal from someone called Sergio Panigo to make some images/renders. I doubted the job a lot at first because who would want to outsource to an unknown belgian company anyway? After a lot of mails that gave good confidence and effort from the guy, I eventually made up a price proposal... Never heard from the guy afterwards, not a single email, whereas we had mailed a few times a day for almost a week. Imho it must have been a competitor who was after our way of making offers, setting prices, etc. Anyone else received mails from this guy: Sergio Panigo, working at EAD, a very known firm in Argentinia...? Of course they don't have a webpage yet: it's under construction! *yeah right* rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbr Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I've gotten these kinds of emails a few times and did the same thing - asked for more info and eventually submitted a proposal, never to hear from them again. I wasn't surprised, though, as not many foreign countries will pay for US services. It's always an incovenience, but it's part of the game.

nisus Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 well, normally we DON'T do these proposals as most emailers don't supply us the info we ask initially. We ask this info to check how real the price offer is. Only after receiving a believable first answer we start questioning if it's a real job at all. Who else had similair stories? What to do about it? nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbr Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Yeah, I don't submit proposals unless I either get the acad drawings or enough sketches that adequately portray the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
