art scam
Greetings Carvers, I just received the following email (see below) which
on first inspection appears to be some sort of scam. (Just so you know,
I don't ship things that are not paid for unless I'm dealing with a
reputable gallery.) Anybody heard of this scam or know what's going on?
Hello, I am mr Roy Kennedy, I am interested in some of your arts here
in asia for some exhibition. I will also like you to know i intend
paying you for this arts with a certified check. As soon as i get the
actual price for the items i will like to buy, i will order my client
to send you payment immediately. I will also like you to know that the
check will also include the funds for shipping, so what you are going
to do is as soon as you receive and clear the check from bank, you are
to get back to my reliable shipper with the excess funds so that he can
use in arranging for a pick up right from your resident. I will also
need you to get back with your information where payment will be sent.
Get back with your official website also for proper choosing of items
and let me know if i can trust you with the excess funds for shippment
to be sent to my shipper. I await your response.
