List of Artist Scammers and Fraudsters

I know I keep mentioning art scams and the emails that artists receive, but they continue to help artists that are new to the internet. So, I thought I would create a post with the art scammer's name and email. I'll update this post with new names, aliases and emails of the scummy excuses for human beings and hopefully it will prevent a lot of artists from being ripped off.

Please send me the name and email of any art scam emails that you receive and I will add to this post. If a artists are suspicious and do a Google search for the person (poor excuse for one), I hope they find this post!

here's one a whole group of woman artists got from Bikram Shrestha
at sbikram81@yahoo.com:

Subject: Artworks Enquiry...

Hello,

I came across some of your masterpiece while surfing the internet at http://www.xxxxx.com website and I am interested in purchasing some of your artworks for our new apartment in Malaysia. I will like you to send me some pictures of your recent porfolio so I can select from your stock. Also let me know the price range of your artworks.

I will look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,
Bikram.

what's actually the story after you recieved these email? art work delivered and you never get the money? it'd be helpful to know :)

They send you a cheque/check that is more than the agreed upon amount. Then they ask you to send them back the extra amount while you are still waiting for their check/cheque to clear, which turns out to be fake.

It's an added bonus if they also get your artwork, but that's not what theyre after. It's your money theyre after.
