I received a fake cheque in the post which I handed over to my bank who are now sorting the matter out (as far as they can) with the fraud squad.<br /><br />Another artist friend of mine received almost exactly the same set of emails too.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this up - I really wish I had found it earlier!<br /><br />I did google the name as soon as I received the first email as it sounded dodgy, but didn't find anything then...<br /><br />Helen (UK)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334260376400900106.post-26759877634820664782011-05-11T08:04:18.225-07:002011-05-11T08:04:18.225-07:00Hello Kathleen,
Just to thank you for your brilli...Hello Kathleen,<br /><br />Just to thank you for your brilliant web-site regarding scammers - have received and almost followed up scam from Dawes Valez, Warsaw, almost identical to the one you reported but thankfully not deposited the cheque - it always seemed a bit odd to me but then eccentrics do exist in the art world.<br /><br />The cheque sent to me but not deposited was quite deceptive being apparently from the Transport and General Workers Union Trust Bank. I am taking it to the police....<br /><br />At least I can look through your paintings.... which I would not have found otherwise.<br /><br />Huge thanks again, Merete.

They will just move on to their next potential victim once they realize you are not going to respond anymore. At least they spent a little money sending you the fake check. Glad to hear you caught on to the scam and didn't send any of your money or art.KatieMoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998438534712939464noreply@blogger.com
