Check'M out!
Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work). I received an email from an "Irish" bride-to-be whose fiance was offered a job in the U.S. and needed help planning a small wedding in New Jersey. I vaguely remembered hearing of certain swindle attempts on wedding vendors (especially photographers and videographers), so my radar peaked immediately, however, I didn't jump to any conclusions right away. I responded to the email, drew up a preliminary proposal, quoted cost of service and submitted an invoice for payment. Nonetheless, when it became apparent that the bride-to-be and her French fiance only intended on mailing a cashier's check, I knew right away what I was dealing with ... a scam!

I called M&Ms today and they said they were sorry and offered me a refund. When I asked if they would refund the shipping (pretty expensive at over $16!), they were less willing...but a little persistence paid off! They refunded the ENTIRE order (including shipping), and helped me place a new one.
I have an up-close shot of the bad M&Ms if any one would like to see...I suppose they'd work for some people but, I am pretty particular! Let me know if you'd like to see.
Best,
Alex
