WARNING to all my artist friends! Email scam about sending art to Australia.
See http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34154

Orson Aguilar send me an email which sounded good until the end when he started talking about credit cards. Here's the original warning: http://stopartscams.blogspot.com/2010/09/scam-email-orson-aguilar.html The email I got was exactly like in the warning. When he started talking about his "local logistics agent" not being able to take credit cards and compensating me an extra $200, I knew something was definitely wrong. I have only exchanged emails and nothing else. So, check out email scams first!

Blessings,
Carolina

    I've never opened e-mails like that. As soon as I see "Order Inquiry" as the subject, I delete it.

    I got one of those this weekend. Usually a big clue is the use of the English language. It's always awkward.thanks for putting the warning out there.
