I think it is a scam as well. <br />------------- <br /><br /> Hazzen Farooq---hazzanfarooq@hotmail.com<br /><br />Thanks for your swift response to inquiries about your paintings, I am interested in purchasing nine painting from you as I am buying these paintings for my upcoming gallery in Saudi Arabia.. I would appreciate it if you can send me a list and pictures of oil paintings currently available for sale within the price range of 350-700. This will enable me make finalize my selection. My work conditions offshore as a safety person on an oil rig makes it difficult for me to go through your website picking paintings of my choice also email you as quickly as I would have liked. Please find it urgent to advise.<br /><br />As for mode of payment, the best method for me at the moment is via credit card payment and that I send you my card details and you charge it directly using a merchant account, as I have tried paying via paypal in the past but it just does not accept my cards probably because of the IP of this part of the world where everything is so sensitive. I suggest you get a merchant account mail order which would enable you process my card details without no hitches at all.<br /><br />Await your next email so I know how to proceed.<br /><br />Regards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334260376400900106.post-80234036605187488682013-05-11T07:35:34.332-07:002013-05-11T07:35:34.332-07:00I have this email almost word for word and exact ...I have this email almost word for word and exact email address as salrashed@yahoo.com.

If a scammer d...Yes, indeed, this is a scam email.<br /><br />If a scammer does choose the route of presenting payment with a credit card, it is always a stolen number. If you get the number, you can report it to the credit card company and at least take that one number out of circulation. But no need to feel obligated to respond to the scammer any further, even to tell him you are not interested or know it is a scam. No need. They move on pretty quickly when they see their potential victim is hesitating and not moving through the steps of the scam.<br /><br />Just ignore any further communication from this scammer and he will move on.KatieMoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998438534712939464noreply@blogger.com
