Dubai - I Have Not Sent You Emails

this email is not from me. IT IS A SCAM REDACTED just means the name this was sent to was redacted... removed for security reasons

Fine Art America 10 January 2025 at 13:59
To: REDACTED

Hi REDACTED,

Thank you for your prompt response and your continued trust in Fine Art America.

I want to provide you with some clarity regarding the recent discovery of your artwork, REDACTED, in our backend archives. Following a company merger, this piece was identified as part of a private and exclusive auction held by our Department of Arts and Image at Alserkal Avenue, Dubai, in 2025.

The auction was a prestigious event, aimed at showcasing exceptional contemporary art to an elite audience of collectors and enthusiasts. Gorgeous Gorgonians of Lomb was selected due to its remarkable quality and its significant contribution to the art world. This event marked a special collaboration with Coinbase Inc. for the fifth edition of the Alserkal Avenue Art series, which spotlighted a curated collection of both traditional artworks and NFTs.

Our decision to include your work in this exclusive event underscores our commitment to highlighting outstanding artistic talent and exploring new artistic avenues. We deeply value your contribution and are excited about the opportunities this partnership has created for artists like yourself.

Regards

Abbie Shores

Where would these scam emails have been sent to? Us here on FAA itself, or our emails through our FAA contacts.

These scams are nothing new on this site. I have been contacted several times by "collectors" who want to purchase my art to exhibit. They know that artists are vain and the thought of making big bucks and having your work exhibited is a temptation hard to resist. My solution is to tell them "I only sell through FAA". If they respond I simply tell them "No way in hell. " That seems to do the trick.

Good response, Harriet. I sometimes ask for a deposit from them to prove they are serious - which, of course, chases them away.

If you reply to those emails, no matter what you say to them, you've just confirmed your email address is active, and it'll be sold to more scammers.


Just ignore them.

I have received it from many groups, Thanks Abble !!!

 

I CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH. DO NOT RESPOND TO THEM AT ALL

You have just opened yourself up to even more scammers and phishers

If you do not respond they do not have your email. We hide it from them. If you respond then you have just given them it

Thank you so much, Abbie for taking such good care of us. I really appreciate the heads up. I did not receive this Scam email pretending to be you. And as a group administrator, I have shared the link to this Community Forum discussion thread, rather than your email to me.

Your post before mine, says it all.

The scams are happening more and more. Thanks for sharing. Doesn't look like I got that email. Hope no one because a victim because of it!

I've been away awhile and thought I'd pop in to see what's new. This is the first thing I see. I guess some things never change, except a bit more wordy.

I finally saw that the email I got with this exact text was from fineartamerica.ORG not .com and knew it was spam, after seeking several explanations.

 

Yes, this was a good giveaway. .org instead of .com and they explained that away by telling people my email was changing to .org so to contact them there, Thankfulllllllyyyyy, many people contacted me direct, here or email, and asked if this was true. I managed to shut it down straight away

We do not do auctions. We have no plans at this time, to do auctions. Way too much hassle and not worth it for the artists. You are better sorting your own out on eBay. Also we do NOT purchase NFTs. At all. Not ever. no NFTs. We do have a print your own NFT on the site.... but that is all through what you already have with your own wallets. Nothing to do with us, only the printing

I asked above, and I'll ask again....was that email sent to our FAA email here on the website, or to our private email from "faa"?
