It smelled a bit fishy to me.  So, I googled the email address and guess what?? I’m correct; this “guy” is bad news.  They are part of a HUGE PayPal scam and several pages are suggesting deleting the email immediately.  I encourage all artists and sellers to be EXTREMELY careful of spam and fraud.  If ANYTHING makes you think “fishy” GOOGLE IT/THEM.

I also recommend you like/follow “Stop Art Scams” on facebook.

 

Scammers are going to begin hitting us hard, Artisans.  So, BE SMART and don’t jump into things.  I know it is exciting to think a large/expensive piece of your artwork, but remember you must protect it and yourself!
