Non-NU Email
Both myself and my wife have received emails similar to the one you described. One even said their budget was between 500 to 5,000...which isn't even a budget. 
It's becoming very common artist targeted spam.

Hi - has anyone received an email from someone named Michelle Woyansky
wanting to buy art for her husband's birthday after seeing work online?
Seems straight but my antennae are up and tingling.

Hi Gail:
I’ve seen this exact language in several spam emails. My antennae would be tingling, too.
I’ve not received one with this name, tho.

If she asks for you to accept a check and doesn’t specify specific artwork, then it is definitely a scam.

I have received a number of these over the years, with slightly different scenarios.

The scam is that they send you a bogus check for quite a bit over the agreed-upon price, and then you “refund” them with your real money.

Unfortunately, a scam.

I would direct them to your current art prints/originals. If they insist on
a commission, send a contract which should include 50% up front. That
scares most of them away. You can also just ignore it. I get one every
second week. Most are through Instagram from accounts with NO posts.

As others have said, trust your gut.

thought so, thanks everyone!

She never specified what art she was interested in and the "my budget"

Yes- if she didn’t specify which art, sounds like a scam to me, too.
Someone did something similar to me a few years back and wanted to send a
check and I would mail a few expensive pieces of art. The address was only
a couple hours away, so I offered to drive the art to them and do the
exchange in person, and then they stopped writing to me.

Non-NU Email

If you state that you only accept payment through PayPal or Zelle you will never hear from them again. The scam depends on you accepting their bogus check that they pay over the amount on and when you reimburse them before the check doesn’t clear because it’s bogus, then you are out the money.

> Yes- if she didn’t specify which art, sounds like a scam to me, too. Someone did something similar to me a few years back and wanted to send a check and I would mail a few expensive pieces of art. The address was only a couple hours away, so I offered to drive the art to them and do the exchange in person, and then they stopped writing to me.

Non-NU Email

That is a typical scam. I double check emails and see if I can find them on social media first.
