Please contact us and let us know your story.
If you are contacted by someone interested in buying your art from your website, it almost always is a scam unfortunately.
If you want to play along with the scammers, feel free. It will only take a few moments of your time, and every check they send costs them the price of UPS priority mail. And, it is just plain fun.
Do not try to deposit the check, it is fake, and it will cost you bank fees when it bounces. Make photocopies of the check and envelope, and contact your local police department and file a complaint. They will need the copies of the envelope and check.
After you have filed a complaint locally, go to this FBI website and file a complaint online. do not waste your time calling the FBI. They will only tell you to go to the website I just provided.
If you are a member of a local art community, pass the information on so that they can alert your fellow artists.
