The person who identified himself as George Barbara contacted me via email and said he saw his wife looking at my website and wanted to buy a painting for their anniversary. He is moving so needs a shipper to pick up the artwork. He wants to send a check with money to pay the shipper. My painting cost $350. He sent me a $2,000 and asked me to provide the remainder to the shipper. The envelope came USPS from Rickell Courier SVC Inc, 414 SW 16th TER, Miami, FL 33145. The address on the check is East 63rd Street Real Estate Co, LTD, 1960 65th Street St., Cleveland, OH 44103 from Huntington National Bank.

Dear Karen,

Thanks for the message, I must tell you I intend to give my wife a surprise with the immediate purchase of the piece. Also If you'd like to know, I'm relocating to Canada soon and our wedding anniversary is fast approaching. So I'm trying to gather some good stuff to make this event a surprise one. I am buying yours as part of gifts to her (quickly before someone else grabs it). I am okay with the Price i think it worth it anyways. I'll be sending a check. As regarding shipping, you don't have to worry about that in order not to leave any clue to my wife for the surprise. as soon as you receive and cash the check, my shipping agent (who is also moving my Truck and my Properties) will contact you to arrange for the pick-up. I would have come to purchase the piece myself but, at the moment, am on training voyage to the North Atlantic Ocean (I'm an ocean engineer) with new hires who are fresh from graduate school and won't be back for another couple of weeks.

Regards,

George Barbara.

PS: In the meantime, kindly get back to me with your phone number, so the check can be sent right away.

You would please recall that I explained in my email earlier that the shipper is also helping me move my Truck and some of my properties along with the piece. So, the balance on the check is cover the shipping fees.

Kindly email me ASAP, so I can give you the shipper's information and instructions on how to wire the balance to the shipper.. My Shipper will contact you to make arrangement for an appropriate time for Pick Up of the Piece.

Thanks and I await to read from you soon. Bye

A man that goes by the name of George Barbara contacted me through my website by email stating that he would like to purchase a painting for his wife as a surprise, and that he wanted to send a check in the mail that would cover the cost of the painting and the shipping. The painting that I was selling was $1,400 and he sent a check from Huntington Nation Bank for $5,000 in my name through UPS Priority mail 2-day delivery. He wanted me to cash the check and send the extra money ($3,600) back to him to:

Bank Name: TD Bank

Account Name: Nadine M. Cotto

Account Number: 4330661938

When I posted this on Facebook I got over 80 comments of other artists and friends, many who had experienced something similar and one artist in Boise who had been contacted by email from the same person. Please beware of this scam as an artist and never trust someone who wants you to mail them money back.
