I will look forward to hearing from you so i can know how best to proceed. Cheers.

Janet.
Fortunately, the artist who forwarded this to me looked this person up at this point and found our blog and knew it was a scam, so no money or art lost!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI received the same email, and knew it was a scam right off.
Thanks for posting this. I is helpful to all the artists out there and should put these scammers on notice.
Best,
GF
Same with me. I knew right away it was a scam. I copied and pasted the email and it was no surprise to see they are trying to scam other artists.

ReplyDeleteUNDER janetmiller100@gmail.com. LOOK OUT.
janetmiller100@gmail.com offered to purchase a MacBook Pro from me on craigslist. The whole thing seemed fishy and I googled the email and ended up here. The phone number included was 504 273-6294. The last email (for a laptop I listed at $800) was:

IT MADE ME SUSPICIOUS THAT SHE WANTED TO PAY $420, WHICH WAS $120 ABOVE THE ASKING PRICE. SHE ALSO SAID THAT SHE WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, BUT HER WORK WOULDN'T ALLOW HER TO DO SO. FUNNY HOW A TRAVEL FROM PHILLY TO SYRACUSE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EXCUSE TO GET OUT OF WORK---BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. SEE HER PHONE NUMBER 504-273-6294 WASN'T EVEN AN AREA CODE FOR PHILLY, IT IS AN AREA CODE FOR NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.
Today's date is 11-2-13, and I JUST received an email from Janetmiller127@gmail about a "job". It's interesting, because I also live in Syracuse. Thankfully I was smart enough to google "her" before replying, which brought me here. Thank you all, and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteJust got this one too and spotted it immediately as fraud. Nice that you do this site to help confirm this for me. The email address and name used on my fraud was:
ReplyDeleteSofia Simpson.
blair.simpson20@gmail.com
If you get one of these via gmail, be sure to select 'report phishing' in the drop-down menu so that gmail can shut the scammer down.
I got an the email shown below from a Janet Miller, takecare70@gmail.com, offering to buy an item I'm selling on craigslist. Seemed odd so I did a quick "google" and glad I found this post. Thanks!

Thank You
I found an apartment on Craigslist that was "too good to be true." I did some sleuthing. The supposed owner asked me to correspond via private email. I'm new to Craigslist, so I did. A lot of red flags, though. Immediately said my four cats could come with me. No one has ever agreed to that. Very cheap price for a beautiful apartment in Berlin Mitte. Quirky English, spelling, phrasing. Anyway, I Googled the personal email and here I am. The email address she (Robin Miller) gave me is janetmiller104@gmail.com. Coincidence? I think not. I've just replied to her at janetmiller103@gmail.com. See if she catches it or responds. Thank you for this service. Even though I'm not in the art world!
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteI have just had the same thing regarding an apartment in Berlin Mitte. I am new to craiglist and the same, requesting a direct contact email. The offer emailed through to my private email is too good to be true requesting just a 400€ deposit, refunded after two weeks, that they just needed someone to take over their apartment as they were moving to California for work. Believe me, it is hard to get accommodation in Berlin at present, nobody gets such easy conditions. Again it is Robin / Janet Miller with the janetmiller104@gmail.com email address. Has anyone else been scammed by him / her recently. Thankyou
i got the same email for an apartment! I'm messing with her now. I know she is a scammer.
ReplyDeleteI got same person today, seems 95% of the listing on craiglist are scams now...
