Always disappointing to see bottom-feeders take advantage of people, especially during the festive season when $$ are often very tight. And especially when posing as photographers. Not sure what business name they were operating under.

I still wonder that in this age where cybercrime is at its highest, why do people so easily hand over their banking details to total strangers??

I wonder if they would be calling a scammer who relieved people of money in exchange for promising to cure ill health but never made any actual bookings a doctor? :rolleyes:

You still need to be careful even with established businesses... (Studio 2000 as a case in point)
