I just wanted to make people aware that these con-artists are also trying this scam on individual/private sites, such as people doing art by commission, and other forms of private business.A friend of mine does portraits by commission ( has her own website ) and has just recently had this scam attempted on her art work. She did not fall for it, nor did she reveal any personal information.
But these con-artists are every where, and have either been expanding their repertoire (or should I say potential victims), but I never heard about it; or they have recently started branching out.
If you know someone who runs a private business and has their own business related website, warn them of the scam (if you haven't already done so).
