If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam. Scam artists change their cons, so keep your wits about you.
Watch out for anyone who approaches you, or if you go searching online.
Common types
NFT collectors
"I'm buying art for my spouse" emails. "I'll send you a money order or check and ...."
Agents who coax you into paying fees for services that they tell you are the only way to make it, or that they are connected to the real industry.
A note about Submission Fees. Yes, submission fees are real. Often, a submission fee, around $35, pays for the guest curator who is selecting the artwork for a show. But watch out for fake compeitions, or print magazine open calls, and even fees for online courses that are weak sauce pdfs!
From an AI search:
Common scams targeting artists include fake art buyers using overpayment/activation tricks, cloned gallery/curator impersonation emails, and fraudulent grants or podcast feature requests demanding upfront fees.
Fake Buyer and Overpayment Scams
Fake Buyer and Overpayment Scams
The PayPal Activation Trick: A buyer DMs you on social media wanting to buy a piece quickly, then claims you need to pay an initial activation or upgrade fee (via a fake link) to receive their funds.
The Fake Check Overpayment: A buyer sends a check for more than the agreed amount, asks you to cash it, and requests that you wire or cash-app the "accidental" difference to their independent movers. The original check later bounces
