I received the following message while I was sleeping.
"My name is redacted and I am with redacted News. We are looking to use a photo you took for our broadcast
tonight. Could you give me a call at 202redacted? Thanks in advance "
I replied that the message had been received overnight as we were in different time zones. Linked-in shows a profile of a News Director/Reporter.
There has been no response to my e-mail giving my conditions for the use of my photographs/intellectual property.
It occurs to me that if I had dialled the number given I might have been paying for a premium call.
I wonder if it was a scam and whether others receive such messages. I'll be looking for a space on Jetphotos where I can display my general rules of engagement and a sample comtract.
OTOH, I do have some captures online currently which may be newsworty e.g. 737-MAX's El-al special liveries etc.
