Photo usage request from unidentified PR service

Anyone heard of these guys?

The email read:
We work for a Lufthansa Group company, the magazine is the customer magazine of Lufthansa Technik here in Hamburg. No sure about the size of the photo in the actual layout yet, I would think it is a small to medium size photo. Roughly 6 x 4 should fit all options.

They offered to pay $75 each - but I've never heard of 'em and the website doesn't really answer any questions.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Looks a LITTLE shady. They might be very legit, but still a litlte shady. How many pics did they ask for? And what of, if I may ask?

[jerslice]

They asked for two of them...both shots that I prize highly. I agree that they're a bit shady. I'm not sure.

Looks like someone on anet had similar contact with them a few years ago: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forum ... n/3033318/ (http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/3033318/)

Yeah, I saw that...but the resolution was never put online.

Well, if that guy was having trouble...I'd bet you will too. $75 each is tempting, but maybe if you say you'll send the photos once payment is in hand. FYI, of all the photo publishing I've done, I've never been asked for a 6x4 size that was going to be in a magazine. It sounds more like they will be printed onto cards or 6x4 photos...that alone makes me suspicious.

Again, I could be wrong.
