    Photo usage request from unidentified PR service

    Anyone heard of these guys?

    http://flightext.com/eng/Impressum.html

    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?

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

    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.
