I thought, "Thomas Wayne", isn't that Bruce Wayne's dad? The email he used is: thomaswayne5050@gmail.com<br /><br />I got as far as sending him the address to my studio and my cell number. Then I found this blog! I wrote him back and told him my art was no longer for sale and do not send money in any form to me. Time will tell if he responds.

I'm not sure responding to scammers matters much - they are in a numbers game and just looking for people who WILL step through all the steps of the scam, but I can see where having a policy and sending them that link quickly ends it because then they know you are not one of those people they should spend any time on and they move on to someone else.<br /><br />I usually recommend just not replying at all, the same as you would not reply to a regular spam email. Delete it and move on. Then you are not even verifying your email as active for them. You are not giving or verifying any information about you at all.<br /><br />But I'm glad you have a system to quickly end these for yourself and came and shared it in case someone else wants to use that approach as well.

Won't be accepting or cashing any cashiers checks from that one. Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
