How To Recognize E-mail You Received Form A Fraud Buyer.

Recently I received a mail from an art buyer who want to collect my original painting. He asked me the availability of that painting he choose and want to get more information about it. However, I sent a mail with details and after two days, I received a mail from that buyer requested me to allow his payment via postal money order or check. I stopped sending my next mail because, I recognized that he is a fraud. I had a lot of experience about fraud buyers and their language or type of request. According to his information, he residing in New Jersey and his name is Thomas map. I started searching on Google how to recognize a fraud mail and luckily find out an awesome software which I want to share with my artist colleague members of FAA. Unfortunately, it's not a downloadable software, only available online. If you received recently any fraud mail, just follow this link - http://www.scamomatic.com/ and past your fraud mail with the e-mail address of that sender and see the magic! The software will recognize within few second and give you the report with some good advice. But the best part, it's free!
I am a listed member of Global art directory of London and they help me to recognize fraud mail with their anti-fraud squad service only for listed artists, but I know a lot of artist suffering in this unwanted problem which has no proper solution in right way. I am really very happy to find this online software and share it with FAA members. Hope it will help all my artist friends.

Thanks for sharing that link, Amar!

Another quick way to check is to simply copy a line of text from the suspicious email into Google, and 'search' it. Most scams have often been reported or mentioned online, so Google will show quick results.
