Artist Experience: Dennis Matt Scam Email II

Here is an email from an artist who trusted her instincts when the email didn't seem right and googled the name - fortunately this blog came up to offer her confirmation of her suspicions.

Another artist saved!

Hi Kathleen,

Thank you so much for your informative website to "Stop Artist Scams. Today I received a very crudely written email from Dennis Matt, inquiring about the purchase of one of my paintings. I "smelled a rat", so to speak!! Trusting my intuition, I Googled Dennis Matt and stumbled upon your website.  Needless to say, I am extremely grateful to you for your care and concern for fellow artists!

The E-mail address on the message is:  Dennis Matt [academicss00@gmail.com] for your growing list of offenders.

Keep up the good work, Kathleen!

Warmest Regards,

Peggy

  4. I received an email from Dennis Matt yesterday about purchasing one of my drawings. He asked the price and told me he would send me a certified check but he wanted his "shipping agent" to pick it up and asked me to pass on the agent's fee to him. Thanks a million for the warning. Like the comment above, I "smelled a rat".
