The broken english is a dead giveaway. I did play along for a few emails with a scam like this about two years ago, partly because for some reason I enjoy poorly written english and spelling errors. (seriously I do!) The guy was too obvious with the email address of vincent000@yahoo.(now, c'mon, that's fairly clever!) Who could not see through that? This was before they figured out a way to leave twenty messages a day on our inboxes. BTW, while we're on the subject, my son found a t-shirt that reads "My money went to Nigeria and all I got was this lousy t-shirt". Love it. Do you think there is some law enforcement agency on the case of searching to find these guys? Yes, this is fraud, Chris. The broken english is a dead giveaway.

I guess we don't have this here in France. I would have been all enthousiastic about this and naïv :) Have a great week, I'm looking forward to your next beautiful colourful paintings,<br/>Andrea Hi Chris, I wouldn’t even have known this to be a “Email Fraud” !!I don’t really know what a “personal check” is?

How can a check be good and than not good? <br/><br/>thanks for the education. wow – the fraud people are getting tricky— the move to the Ukraine made me a little suspicious and the fact that there was not very much personnel info– I thought that sentence about checks was written a little awkward….I thought you handled it well — what does cutting off the sentence do?
