    I received an email from my Artspan website where someone emailed me the following message:
    “Hello, I will like to know if you have 10 suitable arts for sales that would not be more than $6000 Awaiting to read back from you soon ”

    My spidey sense tells me this is probably a scam, but I wanted to find out if anyone here had been approached in this way. I plan to proceed cautiously, but at this point, I am not sending any artwork to any buyer unless I receive payment first

    Thanks for your feedback on this.

        Classic scam. The kind of payment they would send is a fake check for more than the asking price, then they would want you to send back the difference.

        scam. One dead giveaway is not specifying titles of paintings they want. They do this to many artists at once to hook them in.

            I just got one of those today. The classic “my wife wants 3 of your paintings,” etc. I just delete these things.

            I emailed them backing asking about their paypal account and other things and they never replied back. I figured it was a scam.

            Thanks to everyone for their feedback.
