Default lies

I said I could shoot and this wa Hauwa's reply, let me know if sounds familiar:

Thanks for the mail Nuno,i'm glad you are available for that date,we would like to know the price you are charging for your services so that we'll be able to know how to fully book our appointment with you.What we want is a full photograph of the church proceedings and the reception.We believe you know the kind of photography result you think will be the best.We just want it to be a very nice one.We are not sure about the church and reception yet as we are still trying to get the wedding planner on these but we want to get over with the photography issues first.
Thanks once again,
Hauwa and Daniel Smith.

He declared its value at $1500, and shipped it to the scammer in england. Something about tax on items coming in - the scammer had to pay a lot of money to get the item out of customs. The mark even had people in england supporting him, and they recorded video of the scammer going to get his "laptop". Sure, it cost the mark $10 to mail this thing to england, but he didnt lose the laptop, and he turned the tables on the crook.
