Nope. Nope. Nope.

Got two identical copies of this in my inbox this morning. Don't know that it's a scam? Though that first paragraph reads really suspicious. At the very least, it's a mass website scrape and spam campaign. I clicked through the link, and there's a website. Based in Sweden.

I do know that I'm not interested. Packing and shipping a platypus dessert plate for international shipping nearly broke me. Sculpture? Fuggageddaboudit.

Dear Frank,

Your sculptural ceramics works caught my eye; there’s something really captivating about them, I could not let the opportunity pass without reaching out to you.

My name is Lincoln, and I have the pleasure of representing Galleri SoHo.

I’d love to know if you have any pieces available for exhibition at the moment? If so, I’m happy to invite you to become a member and exhibit with our International Artist Association.

I really think your works would fit very well in our upcoming exhibition.

We're experiencing remarkable growth and expanding into various corners of the globe right now.

 

Most artists get started with us on the regular yearly membership, as this includes a Free Solo Exhibition and a Spot in our Annual Members’ Exhibition.

It also comes with the opportunity to be in our upcoming Exhibitions in Dubai in February for example, then later Paris and Sweden!

The membership also includes your own Webshop at our Online Marketplace where you can start selling your works immediately!

Our online marketplace allows your art to reach a very large audience, and the Payments go directly to your Account.

I have a question: Are you able to package and ship your works directly to customers once you’ve received payment?

I would love to talk to you and hear more about what you do! Please schedule a meeting with us when you have time in our calendar here: [redacted link to an online calendar-scheduling app].

Just write my name when booking, and our team will make sure we’re connected.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, I am

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Warm regards,

That whole spiel just screams scam, AI generated scam at that. Abort! Abort!
