Scam Alert

A warning to fellow artists:

For the second time in 5 years I have been contacted by a scammer or scammers using the same ruse.

Firstly a flattering email requesting the price of one or several paintings (note very bad English and punctuation, also an unusual email address) saying they are working overseas (Paris or Denmark) and saying they will have the work collected.

Secondly, they will request the address to send the cheque - despite being told pay with bank transfer or PayPal.

The third stage is to request money from you on the pretext of delivery fees or similar, along with a cheque - the cheque may arrive but in the case of the first scammer, this will be a stolen cheque.

So please be aware and pass this on.

Good luck

Lee
