SCAM ALERT

Special thanks to Kent Ogletree for bringing this to our attention.

Please note that there have been attempts at a SCAM to several of our
members. The SCAM works by getting a quote and sending a check that
is more than the amount of the quote, "by mistake". Then he requests
you wire back the amount he over paid so he can afford to travel.
Since the check is drawn on an overseas bank it is at least 2 to 3
weeks before the forged check gets back to you. If you wired the
money back to him, you are just out that money and the fees.

There have been people that lost a lot of money in the past over this
scam. We have a few new practitioners as members now, so please
beware.

THIS IS ONE OF THE ACTUAL EMAILS RECEIVED.
Good day,
I am John Lauren from Cotonou . I saw your contact on www.aphp.net.
I will be coming over to the US, Kent WA precisely, from 23rd of
September to 25th of November with my wife. We both speak English
anyway.

We have been told that Hypnosis might help us quit smoking as we have
both been smoking for over 20 years, Myself and my wife my wife in
particular as she can't seem to get over the depression since we lost
our daughter, though may not be guaranteed to make us quit, but at
this stage, anything will do as we are ready to quit.

I will want to know if you can offer your services at these dates,
I'll also want
to know if you offer home calls ,but it's alright if you do not, as
we can meet
you at your place as we will need about 6-8 sessions each.

I will appreciate if I can get a price quotation. As we want to make
advance payments before our visit so we can be rest assured as I'll
be doing a lot of moving around and she'll be doing a lot of shopping
and sightseeing as this is her first visit to the US. An early
response will be appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon.
John


NEVER WIRE MONEY TO ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW.
BEWARE OF SCAMS LIKE THE ABOVE.
