Your post just made me think of it.<br /><br />btw, how are these scams still working? They have to be working if I still get an email everyday right?Candace Baitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283685336205090612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5735576417323004071.post-82206785754910715272009-08-25T20:51:20.023-04:002009-08-25T20:51:20.023-04:00Toad, you brought up another point that struck me ...Toad, you brought up another point that struck me as very odd. "She" barely mentioned the art. Other buyers tell me what drew them to the piece, what aspects of it they appreciate, ask me what inspired me. This scammer just briefly mentioned that the piece would look good with their "decors" and went on at length about what they were doing and why they couldn't get down to business and actually pay me right now. Rambling on about how the husband was supposed to call but he was busy and the moving agent would get with me "very soon" with the details of shipment.Mean Jeanhttp://jeanprovost.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5735576417323004071.post-69398309465179770232009-08-25T17:21:45.172-04:002009-08-25T17:21:45.172-04:00No woman who is pregnant, doing a foreign wedding ...<i>No woman who is pregnant, doing a foreign wedding and moving to another country has time to cruise the net looking for art.</i><br /><br />A man could. Or, at least, he could cruise the net looking for porn while doing a foreign wedding and moving to another country. At least, that's my guess. I wouldn't know from experience, of course.<br /><br />Cudos on avoiding the scam, Meanest of Jeans. Do actual purchasers send weird e-mails, too, making these scams harder to spot?Toadhttp://j-walkblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5735576417323004071.post-87563385446020067642009-08-24T20:29:06.274-04:002009-08-24T20:29:06.274-04:00My alert signal went nuts with the "I'm i...My alert signal went nuts with the "I'm in London for my twin sister's wedding, I'm pregnant, and Oh, did I mention I'm moving to Johannesburg?"...blah blah blah.
