How did you know it was a scam?
A friend of mine received a similar message and she also thinks it's a scam.
How? See this: Pretty soon you'll see the pattern: https://dcartnews.blogspot.com/search?q=scam&max-results=20&by-date=true
Thank you for posting this! I just received the exact same email that you posted from this address, and also thought it was suspicious.
I have just received this same email today ,as I ignored another email from Samuel Roland ,I am assuming both are the same person ,ignore them ,a real client will never approach you in this bold and rude manner.
I have also recently been receiving from Thomas Jeff inquiring about art on my website. I live in the UK and my website is quite new so when I received "my wife really likes your work can I buy one as a wedding anniversary present $1500-£2000" it was flattering but then the same sort of email several times. After a few I realised it was strange and asked him questions and got no reply these, and checked on the web for anything about him. There is a website ripandscam.com I think maybe he is one there.

I've just had this email too, I'm an artist in the UK.
Thanks for the warning.
I just received a note from him, too, at my art website. Have received "like" inquiries before. Never respond to them.
Just got same request )))

Message Greetings!
My name is Thomas Jeff from SC. I actually observed my wife has
been viewing your website on my laptop and i guess she likes your
piece of work, I'm also impressed and amazed to have seen your various
works too, : ) You are doing a great job. I would like to receive
further information about your piece of work and what inspires you. I
am very much interested in the purchase of the piece (in subject field
above) to surprise my wife. Kindly confirm the availability for
immediate sales.
Thanks and best regards,
Thomas

I just emailed Thomas Jeff - to say I'd heard a forecast there was about to be a huge storm in the North Atlantic (where he said he was 'on a ship'). 'I do hope your ship doesn't go down!'
