Scammer "Buyer" Warning: "Elaine Holly"
Another fake buyer who was making her rounds in September is someone going by the name of Elaine Holly. Her story is that she is moving to South Africa from London and wants to purchase some artwork. Her husband is apparently a twit and has a habit of sending too much money to her artists, so she needs to get the money back.
SCAM WARNING: Paris 2007 Contemporary Art Exhibition
This is now a confirmed scam. Under no circumstances should you send these people any money.
