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

Scam Email: Whitman Duvel; Frederick Kloppenberg
It is also a sign of a scammer, who makes up all the names and then can't keep them straight or even remember which name is a first name or a last name. This is one such scammer. signs off on his email by his supposed last name. Lame. Also, this "on behalf of" phrase allows the scammer to use the same disposable email account to receive replies (until it is shut down) while randomizing the fake names to look slightly different. Notice the second email and it's similar templated format.
Just got this.
