Education
Let the artist beware! Several people on the LAA website have
gotten “inquiries” from “Richard Leigh,” a so-called potential
buyer. He “has interest in it.” No artwork or price is
mentioned, but he wants “it” saved for him. English is
fractured, return address is rocketmail. The way these
scammers get the money is: You tell him the amount that he
owes you. He sends you a cashier’s check for too much money.
He asks you to deposit his check and write him a check for the
overage and send it to him (maybe along with the paintings
too). His check turns out to be phoney (it takes awhile for
the bank to realize this). Meanwhile, your very real check is
in his wallet.
