Scam...I think...thoughts?

[buggsgonebanana]

This start off with "Dear"...and my name.
Not sure...spelling and grammar errors, however, is just inquiring about a picture, not an agent or rep, so who knows. My thoughts bring me back to the old "condition" thing...we are talking about a modern day photograph here, so why would it not be? That's my big clue? Also, the lowest price? Wouldn't it just be "the price?" Thoughts?

I always say the best way around getting these types of emails is to set your price and enable your artspan shopping cart. Then if people are serious about buying it they can point, click and it's theirs.

I haven't had one of these types of inquiries since I enabled my shopping cart.

It's like they are looking for a used car. I'm glad they are ignorant enough to make so many errors. They give themselves away. I wonder if this scam is still successful. Scout
