They are getting more sophisticated. Usually improper grammar is a giveaway, but they communicated in a much more sophisticated way than most. Another usual clue is that the obviously have no idea that the artists on this site do portrait commissions. Again, they are getting more clever. However, the UK address is usual and very often it's from a yahoo email address.

I did actually sell a painting to Dubai once! I was not so informed about the scams at the time, so happily it was legit.
