,pls advise strongly on this

Wesley

And talk about chutzpah when it comes to art scams, this email wasn’t only sent to me, the human being on the other end of this art scam included 11 other recipients on the same email. (…and “Cheers Wesley”?? Oh good grief.)

Again, if you are an artist, go visit Bj.de Castro’s blog on art scams…run, run, run!
