I just got a message on instagram

I got a message on whatsapp claiming they were Michael Stars agent (or maybe it was Anthony Star? I don't remember)
They wanted to get in touch with me for a business proposal 🤣

It’s a scam. Don’t provide any personal email or account number with your full name.

Makes a change from my usual... They usually want ME to pay THEM to use my pictures on their Instagram feed.

Yes, like the time it takes me to locate (and sometimes buy) Dutch (in this case) coins, then provide adequate appropriate storage for them and put the time and effort into getting the best photo I can in the first place isn't worthy enough.

I mean, sheesh, it's not the easiest thing to get high quality pictures of shiny coins without glare from the flash reflecting off the coins at the best of times - and I do have other materials that I would like to buy so that other people can better enjoy my coin collection, too.

Nope... I usually block them now because they clearly don't appreciate how much time and effort goes into my collection and photography.

Never click on any links either, they can hijack your account. Happens to many of my friends in businesses.
So many scammers there and instagram are terrible at trying to get your account back.

Are they in a position where they could just use the pics anyway even if you say no? If yes then asking them to send you the pay via paypal or something secure like that couldnt hurt could it? maybe they will pay you

Ask for their info you'd need for your invoice that you'll send to them. 👀

Scam, my daughter had a similar offer.

Scam. Your instinct was right. Don't do it.

Ask them to donate to charity for you

Don`t fall for that.

Obviously

Be careful

100% a scam 💯

They are lovely pictures so it could be true.

Try it if they aren’t asking for money why not try it out
