I just received the exact same email from Tricia Allen. Anytime someone wants to buy multiple pieces of art "ASAP" to take to a foreign country, the warning bell should go off in our heads.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your posts.
Agreed! That combination is definitely a trigger. while some collectors buy multiple pieces online, it is more likely that real collectors will not do this. Then add the they are "moving" (and its typically to a foreign country so you will not be surprised when the check *comes* from a foreign country but in U.S. dollars - and why not? the check or money order won't be good anyway), and you've got yourself a big ole red flag.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for seeing this right at the start.
