ReplyDeleteIt looks like this email has been going for years. I had that same email yesterday 4/3/16. I also shortly after had incoming 0800 phone call which I search after and found to be a scam.
ReplyDeleteI had an email yesterday from Sally Riding... I thought it sounded like a scam but couldn't figure out how it works? What are they after? Why target artists?

after googling her email it was clear she was scamming artists, Just sharing what Ive learned
I've just had the same email as the one David Munroe received above. I got it through the Society For All Artists website.
ReplyDeleteThe usual scam is that the cheque takes two weeks to bounce and that you pay for the courier of their choice who is the con artist.
