Subject: Re: Finland purchase scam?
It's a scam. These scams are getting more and more specific, so they seem l=
egit, but they are not specific enough (obviously they have no knowledge of=
the business they claim to be in (art)). That's why it seems fishy.
I asked the same question on Clayart a while ago and got varied answers. Bu=
t the main clue is that they will pick up. That's how all the scammers oper=
ate, I think. I don't know how it works out for them, but I guess it does.
