User Ill_Fee1896 is warning photographers about the scam website The Ever Vow, which masquerades as a British platform connecting wedding planners with photographers. To appear credible, the site uses the real name of business coach Katie Jane Lyth and the details of a genuine British company. According to user Ill_Fee1896, after a video call with a "representative" of the project, the author was asked to make an advance payment to confirm the booking even before any contact with the client — and the scammers refused any further calls.
Suspecting something was off, the post's author reached out to the real Katie Lyth. According to user Ill_Fee1896, she confirmed that she has no connection whatsoever to this resource, that her personal data is being used by scammers without her permission, and that she is already preparing a complaint to get the site shut down. The main red flags of this scheme are demanding money before services are provided and pressuring victims to skip the verification stage. As the author points out, legitimate agencies always take their commission after a successful booking, rather than demanding an upfront payment.
