Attempted fraud using The Daniel Collection as the introduction

Jennifer Shirley has alerted me to an email she, and apparently other turners, have received purporting to come from my site and offering to buy work.

If anyone has received this email - please note that this has NOTHING to do with me.

The content (apparently they are all identical) appears below - I don't understand at the moment how they wouldbenefit as someone replying to it would have the email forwarded to me - unless I'm missing something on my settings. It would appear to be the prelude to an attempted fraud - the language is not correct and it appear to come from Eric Ericcson yet is signed by Eric moore (lower case m).

Please contact me if you get an approach like this - and I will authenticate or otherwise

Email content as follows

From: Ericsson Eric To: snipped-for-privacy@thedanielcollection.com Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2006 3:09 PM Subject: order

Hello I am very happy to visit your website and I found some beautifulwork you have in your gallery and I have interest in purchasing some of works. I will like to know if you ship internationally to Malta and also if you accept (MoneyOrder/Cheque and Visa Card) as a method of payment. I want you to get back to me with your updated webpage,so that I can choose the items needed to purchase from your store/gallery. Due to high shipping and custom charges,I can make an arrangement for the pickup of the order. I will be looking forward to hearing from you asap.

Thanks Eric moore

Thanks

Jonathon

This part looks like a scam. But perhaps they screwed up and forged the wrong information in the e-mail.

If you want to, you can send/tell me the headers in the e-mail message, and I can find out what country the person is from.

This is probably some variant of the Overpayment scam.

That is my view entirely - usually a third party shipper is involved as seems to be indicated here.

I don't have a sample of the email to be able to forward to anyone - I was alerted to this by somebody else and have not had the full document, including header, sent to me.

Not that this really matters - I just wanted to alert people here to the way in which the name is being wrongly used to try and lend credibility to something.
