He goes by the name of sameh nabil and seems to totally con people by his prices on phpBB work. I am not going to share the website he uses here, but many may already know anyway. On his website portfolio, he actually has an IPB site that I personally edited a style for, so it seems he just adds any site to it regardless of him actually working on it.
So if you get the following email, please protect yourself and your funds and go find someone reputable within the phpBB community that will not charge much, or just learn how to do things yourself.

ok I will make for you a professional style for your forum ,,,
let me know if you are ready to send to you an invoice of $500 USD ( half of the fees ) and start in designing it immediately after payment , then you pay the other $500 after we finish the style and install the MOD .
we can design the style for your wordpress also but may you please keep it after the phpBB style .

you will be able to see the progression of the styling during the work , via accessing the forum , you can edit any part of the style like you want or see during or after finish of the style ,
you will be able to see initial preview of the style ( as a jpg file after 6-8 hours from payment )
let me know if this is suitable to start .
Be wary folks, I am posting this to protect your funds, nobody in their right mind will charge you that and nobody should pay that just for a style they have no idea what it looks like!
