Bogus Email Alert

Thanks to someone, who also sells on eBay, for alerting me to a low-life that's emailing some of you folks about my paintings. It's from either david2521atgmaildotcom OR wiunsedatgmaildotcom. This crook is asking if you'd like to accept a Second Chance Offer. Do not respond and please forward that email to spoof@ebay.com. There's dirtbags out there, my friends, just stay on top of them.

Karen,
What is it they are up to? I am not familiar with the tricks being played these days. I'll help anyway I can.

Hi Karen,
If you choose to, you can keep your bidders anonymous, then this person won't be able to do this. It is really sad when it comes to this. I love your work.

This is so sad, please don't make your bidders anonymous, often I look at what your buyers have bought elsewhere and have then bought from those sellers.

I'd say never take a second chance offer from anyone but the original seller, and only through e-bay. There was a story on the news who got an offer after she bid on a wedding dress, she payed through pay pal, but didn't go through e-bay, and she lost a lot of money.

Karin, This just isn't fair. I think you mean "spoof@ebay.com", at least that is where I have had to report a 'phishing' scam a couple of times before.

I agree with "art undressed" - other bidders have introduced me to other artists, such as yourself.
