Beware of this asswipe trying to rip off artists!
Subj: Inquiry About Art Purchase and Shipping
Carlos Ramirez<affordable.stores55@gmail.com>
Hello
I hope this email finds you well.
I am interested in purchasing some of your art collections and would like them shipped to the Bahamas. Kindly let me know if you accept Visa, MasterCard, or cheque as payment methods. Additionally, I would like to confirm if you can coordinate with my shipping agent for the pickup of the items.
I look forward to your prompt response.
Best regards,
Carlos Ramirez

I've just been contacted by them as well, and while we want the sales revenue, there's something a bit off about it. Can you describe what made you believe they are scammers?
Can you explain what signaled to you that this is a scam? My company has been contacted by them as well, and as much as we would love the sales revenue, we also don't want to be scam victims!
So what happened?
I just got the same email from Carlos. Didnt address it to me, even though my name is on my website. Didnt say what he wanted to purchase, just that he wanted “to make some Purchase”. To me the give away that it’s a scam is, besides these things, he wants to hurriedly make the purchase on a credit card AND arrange for his shipper to take possession. His guy would get the art right after his CC was charged, then he would cancel the sale or otherwise get his money back from the card company. Used to be Singapore quite often, along with Nigerian.
