It's never about the art - its about getting the cash via the victim wiring money.

Thanks very much for your website/blog ...Dear Katie<br />Thanks very much for your website/blog on this. I've been aware of these scams for some years but never been approached till now. However, 'Jocelyn's' language did seem weird as did his lack of curiosity over how to hang my sculpture, so I googled him and found you. So no sale. I couldn't see how to add to your blog so I am forwarding our email thread. I would be happy for you to include the relevant bit and include it as being from Anon as you have shown other people's correspondence. <br /> <br />The main point is that on your page Jocelyn was a long way down and operating under that name in 2015 I think. So it would be good for people to be looking out for the name again now. My final email from him was identical to one on the page, so sadly no chance that he could be any of the real Jocelyn Pages that exist.<br /> <br />I don't know if there is any way these people can be brought to justice. You are in the US, but I shall check out whether there is anything I can do in the UK.<br /> <br />I was happy to donate you $10 through paypal for the amount of grief and potential loss you help save us from!<br /> <br />Best<br /> <br />N<br /><br />> ---------- Original Message ----------<br />> From: Jocelyn Page [jocelyn.page33@yahoo.com]<br />> Date: 23 June 2017 at 10:22<br />> Subject: Re: ARTGALLERY/sorry for MY late response.<br />> <br />> Hello,<br />> After going through the pictures i am okay with the present condition of the Art Work and i am also okay with your price of the items = (£5,000.00) <br />> <br />> <br />> Kindly let me have the full details below to issued out the Bank Cheque as requested,so that my financial can issued out the payment procedures Asap..<br />> <br />> <br />> FULL NAME :<br />> FULL ADDRESS:<br />> MOBILE NUMBER:<br />> TELEPHONE:<br />> <br />> Kindly get Back to me with the Above list of Details requested From you.<br />> Regards<br />> <br />> <br />> 17, Roslin Place, <br />> Aberdeen, <br />> Aberdeenshire <br />> AB24 5BG<br />> UNITED KINGDOM<br />> <br />> Thanks<br />> --------------------------------------------<br />> <br />> > On 20 June 2017 at 08:02 Jocelyn<br />> Page [jocelyn.page33@yahoo.com] wrote:<br />> > <br />> > <br />> > Hello,<br />> > Thank you for<br />> your response regarding my order, I am okay with these items<br />> below.

Unfortunately being an ex Police Officer I did not like it and finding out that the address given for the said Lynette Dixon does not actually exist in Solihull. West Midlands and the cheque coming from a motor trader in Essex - D N Trade Cars Ltd - we decided that the cheque sent would be better placed into the hands of the Police to see if they can back track and try to put an end to this vicious scam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334260376400900106.post-50475109155953255812017-02-03T05:47:03.762-08:002017-02-03T05:47:03.762-08:00Another one here from "Dennison Brixon" ...Another one here from "Dennison Brixon" with virtually the same wording, on 2 Jan 2017. <br /><br />Following advice in this forum I've asked him to call me – let's see how he responds. <br /><br /><br />MB Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334260376400900106.post-2849475612404480142017-01-27T10:14:40.278-08:002017-01-27T10:14:40.278-08:00Quite remarkable that this has been going on for 6...Quite remarkable that this has been going on for 6 years now.

I have received one today. If the mail says nothing specific about their location or expresses any kind of informed comments, but includes things about money and says 'you are doing a great job' you can assume it's a scam. If you question them about their location and particular pieces of your work you usually don't get a reply. I then let them know I am forwarding their email details to the police.
