ArtSites Updates

It has come to our attention that several of our artists have been receiving "Asking Price Needed" inquiries from an "Anna Starikova", as well as a "Nicholas Parry".

Unfortunately, these "persons" are taking advantage of the Holiday Season and trying to get you to engage.

The first clue that you should NOT respond is their statements:

"kindly get back to me with your recent web site where your work can be viewed"

They are sending their inquiry directly FROM your website!

Since they're on your website, they can see what works you have available.

Another sign, is the "Hello Artist" greeting.

They should be able, at the very least, to address the email to you personally! ;-)

While they do offer to use PayPal, there still are ways that PayPal payments can be reversed and refunded.

So, just because they offer to use PayPal is not a 100% guarantee.

We strongly recommend you do NOT respond to these inquiries!

For more tips, please do check out our previous online post, More Art Scams Information & Warnings!

Geoff and I simply want you to be informed about these Holiday Spammers!

If you have any more questions or suspicions, please feel free to send us ANY inquiry you receive and we'll gladly share our thoughts with you!

Be diligent and if something looks suspicious, it probably is! ;-)
