Scam Email: Serena Wilcox

Here is a scam email just received this morning (and forwarded to me) from an artist who has a studio right next to me in the ICB Building in Sausalito, CA. She was knowledgeable enough to know immediately it was a scam.

I put this one under the category of super lazy scammer, who didn't even bother to personalize anything or find out what this person they are emailing might even be selling. Lazy!

[poor formatting below is intentional as that is how they send these emails. It always amazes me how they never clean up their formatting and spelling errors. But it certainly helps us identify them as scams!]
