An "Anne Brown" contacted me the same way, with the same story, language, and bad english. What dirt bags! They used this email address: annebrown1111@yahoo.com I'm going to report them on the FBI site: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx Thanks for alerting me to this!
ReplyDeleteMy company has been hit by these people also, 2x. This was from my Hotfrog site! I do not even sell weapons, just ladies clothing! Thanks for the back up, I knew it was some how bogus!
ReplyDeleteI just got a email to specifically buy 7 of my artworks from annebrownn@yahoo.com and it was signed Ann no e. She said it was urgent! Thanks for being there as I checked it out first!
ReplyDeleteWhen it seems too good to be true...I've had about 10 email exchanges with Ms. Anne/Ann in which she made all sorts of inquiries about artwork she referenced by title. Willing to send me a personal check via post.

Ah yes, the twin sister's wedding in Cancun - this fake story has been around for quite some time now, I guess it is effective for the scammers.
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't fall for it.
Yes I was one of her target's too on Sept 21st. I did feel fishy knowing she was insisting that I send her my address first to set up for FEDEX pickup. here is her last email.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the scam! READ BELOW:
