  2. Who the hell falls for this crap? OF COURSE it's fake... You need to be a little smarter. They send you checks to cash that are ill-gotten so that THEY wont get in trouble but YOU will instead. the check bounces but not before they make out with money, and you get nothing. Most if not all are from Nigeria, look it up. I thought EVERYONE knew this...

    Not an art scam but a JOB scam. This nick guy said he was sending me $350 for my first weeks pay and as soon as it arrives that's when my first assignment were to begin( which was to pick up art and take it to a warehouse) turns out he sends me 1450.23 and tells me to take my pay and send the leftover amount to a said art gallery owners (Carla Garcia) address through western union because she was the one picking up the items

  6. Thank you for posting this blog, I've just got the same offer :

    Hello Peggy,

    Thank you for your swift response and kindly accept my sincere apologies for not replying you much sooner. I'm an upcoming artist and currently working on some project in Australia. However, I just started my own art gallery and I am looking for a "virtual assistant" who can handle my personal and business errands at his/her spare time. Someone who can offer the services of paying for materials on my behalf, as well as collecting payments of any form from clients when I am not around.

    I buy ideas and materials from ancient cities and I have got so many clients such as companies, individuals, government and private museums.I would have loved to meet up with you to talk about this job, but I am currently away on a business trip to Australia like I said earlier, so there will be no interview for now.

    You will work on the average of about 5-10 hrs per week and I will start by paying you $500 on every assignment completed which could later rise to $700 depending on how effective you are. This job is temporary and it won't affect your existing job.

    I will provide clear set of instructions for each task I need done as well as the funds to cover them. Please provide the following information of you, no mistakes in names as it will appear on payments from clients:

    FULL NAME:

    FULL ADDRESS:

    APARTMENT NUMBER:

    CITY:

    STATE:

    ZIP CODE:
    (NO P.O.BOX)

    CELL PHONE NUMBER:

    Upon the receipt of these information, I will get back to you to let you know if you get the job or not.

    Thank you!

  8. I just recieved this scam. I had responded to a post on Craigslist for a spa receptionist. Just sent email and said I was reporting to proper authority.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Me too. Very soon after I sent him my personal details, I received a 'payment from a client' check.
    I was suscpicious all the time, but not enough not to disclose my personal data I guess. That was stupid thing to do, I admit.
    After I received check, finally I googled his mail address and it points to this site.
    I also got the 'I will report you to authorities' letter...
    Thank you so much everyone here for your comments reveiling this scam! You are thre real MVP! :)
