Good Info, Enzie.

Be aware that your name and a specific art piece can be used.

I occasional receive emails expressing interest in one particular artwork's availability. It's always the same artwork, it's similar wording, and it shows up in the "spam" section of my email.
After wasting my time researching one contact person (fictional addresses and phone numbers) I figure that anyone legit can easily look up my phone number and contact me directly.

I like one artist's approach: he tells potential customers that he will be happy to send them the artwork after the check clears their bank, apologizing but stating that it is necessary because of all these spams and schemes.
