Yet another eBay Scam...but this time not even a part in the movie.

Hi guys,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to one an all..with the exception of the subject of the following message.
Today I have received the following spam in my UKScreen inbox from some guy calling himself "Mathew John" and implore all UKscreen members not to give this clown the pleasure of making one penny from this obvious scam.
Mr. John claims to be a Film producer with a script from an "award winning writer", "a prestigeous crew and an A list cast" yet strangely enough hasn't been able to raise UKP500K to get the film off the ground. My Ar*e.
Trust me on this...This guy has nothing to offer you of any value so giving him nothing in return seems like a fair deal to me.

Buy ten seconds of fame.
I am a film producer that started his journey looking for a script, which was a prefect blend of truth and spectacle. Throughout my years I have found that most studio films were all about the spectacle and the independent films were all about the truth… with the few rare exceptions. Apart from that I also wanted to find a script that would challenge the way we look at society and conventions. And I found one.. not some pschycodelic script written by a stoned hippy… who claims to have found the true meaning of life….but an award winning script written by an award winning writer.
Over the last six months I have formed a prestigious team and “A” list cast. But with all my efforts I am still short of finances. I have relentlessly pitched to investors that have either feared the originality or tried to take over the project.
I already have interest from sponsors and an equity investor, but I am lacking some funds and the collateral to secure a loan.

So I thought to myself.. I wonder if there are others that crave a bit of fame…the chance to leave an image and name on a piece of celluloid film. To leave your mark in the history of movie magic.
For the price of £25 you can have
- Your picture for the duration of ten seconds starting at the credits of this film. After a collection of photographs your name will follow. All photos and names will appear in alphabetical order.
- A fortnightly newsletter updating you on the films progress.
- A private account on a members web page and limited promotional gifts.
