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

Scam Email: Eliot Graham
Here is a typical scam email under the name of Eliot Graham. It's almost always the super horrible grammar, spelling and formatting that gives them away.
Dear Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your website about scammers who target artists. This was a first for me. I got an email about an art card order. At first delighted, it seemed a bit odd and was in the "too good to be true" arena. Also, shipping to Denmark?!??!?!?
So I googled the name and your site came up. Bless your heart!
The name is Richard Aaron Graham.
