Scammers use the Internet to find new victims. I fight back using the Internet to educate and help artists NOT become victims.

Scam Email: Justin Johnson
Just received this in my own box this morning. Given we've reported on how an artist unfortunately fell for and lost money to a scam email last week from Alice Drew, I'm guessing we'll be seeing a LOT of this email, with just various fake names and diposable email addresses. This is pretty much the same. Not even personalized. Doesn't care who I am, but they will begin personalizing it once I respond (and by the way, I will NOT be responding at all).
I just received the same email. I could not find anything about this company or person. The first search for Justin Johnson found this warning. Definitely a scam. Thanks!
ReplyDeletei also got this same email this morning and did a search. thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteI really glad to see its coming up in searches and that artists ARE searching on the name BEFORE they send any money. Good! Let's keep this scammer from making any money this round.
ReplyDeleteGot it too. I have a line of hand-printed tshirts...seems to fit the artist theme.
ReplyDeleteToday I received an e-mail from Wong Anderson wonganderson1@hotmail.com. I replied him but it seemed strange. Then I seached and found you post and it became clear that this is scam!! Thank you very much for all your work!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! We do have a separate report on Wong Anderson, so I'm glad you did not take this any further.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this is just in Australia, but I just got the exact same message in the USA
ReplyDeleteI just received the same email. The things that always make me suspicious are a non-business email return address (it was a yahoo email account), not mentioning anything specific about my products, and asking for what I sell.
