I received an email a few days ago saying I was doing wonderful work and that he wanted to buy my artwork.
After a few exchanges, I quickly realized it was a scam. When I asked him what he was interested in, he sent me screenshots from this website. Those were images with absolutely no artistic merit. I have much nicer things that people might want.
HIM - Hi, I checked your art and it’s nice. Are any pieces available? Best regards. S----
ME - hello ! Thank you for your attention. I do many different things: 2D, 3D, 3D printing, retouching, illustration. Where did you see my work? Which piece interested you?
HIM - Hello, I’m interested in your artwork. I want to purchase it and, with your permission, create an NFT from it while keeping your name as the original creator. I can offer 2.3ETH.
ME - I'm not very familiar with NFTs; I need to look into it. Give me a few days to research it. I'll get back to you in two or three days. Will you need a high-definition file, or a specific format? Can you explain how you operate?
HIM - To keep everything secure and transparent, the transaction will be handled through an NFT marketplace. This helps ensure proper licensing, clear proof of ownership, and payment protection for both of us.
You’ll need a working crypto wallet to receive payment. I recommend using Bi-nance or By-bit, or any trusted wallet that works well in your region and allows easy withdrawals.
For the marketplace, I’ll be using https://XXXXXXX The goal is simply to use a neutral platform that properly records the minting and sale process.
Once the artwork is uploaded and listed there, I’ll complete the purchase directly through the marketplace.
Please let me know if this works for you, or if you’d like me to guide you through the steps before we proceed.
I haven't replied. Be careful! There are many vultures circling, and unfortunately, you can no longer trust anyone.
