February 15, 201313 yr  Recently  I received an email that said a guy was interested in buying a wind bottle holder that I made. He wanted to know sizes, availability, credit card use, etc.  It seemed legit, so I wrote him back saying that I do not sell anything I make and I appreciated that he liked my work.Two day later I got an identical letter from another person. It appears they are using a form letter to gain info or maybe something more sinister. I'm sure they gained email info from my blogI just got my computer restarted from zero because of a hack job and don't want to chance anything else happening. Just a heads up bit of info

February 15, 201313 yr probably want to involve you in a check scam. Send you a big check with some song and dance about how they are in a bind, ask you to cash it and forward them the money along with the products they buy.Meanwhile the check takes a while to come back as forged and you are looking at a very angry bank and possibly criminal charges.But I can save you from all that.When you cash their check send me the money. I'll hold it on trust for you ( ha ha ha) and that way you will be protected. Send it to the address on the back side of my screwball avatar.
