Title: Message on Istock???
Post by: perkmeup on October 03, 2007, 01:51

Has anybody else recieved a message in your email on Istock as follows??  Not sure what to make of it...........

Greetings,

we are looking for sources we can buy photos from. If you own the photos that you are legally able to sell please read the following.

1. We are not looking for exclusive or transfer of all rights.

2. We must be able to use purchased photos with the rights for any of our needs with the exceptions:
- we will not be re-selling actual photos as computer files in any way;
- we will not make these photos available for download or rights transfer.

3. We will be using these photos on our online sign-design engine. Photos will be shown and manipulated only within our web based sign shop. These photos will be also used to produce different kinds of signs, banners, and other visual advertising products.

4. Files must be high-resolution JPEGS, TIIF, EPS or AI with DPI - 150-300 dpi 1000px minimum

If you own any photos you may be interested in selling on these terms please find the way to show us these photos (maybe like a thumbnails or on your website, etc) so we could pick and choose the ones that we'll like.

We will make our best price offer depending on the quality, composition and the number of the pictures we may be interested in.

sounds like a scam to me.
