NFT scammers?
a year ago
I never really cared much about NFT art. I don´t really know what it is, barely every heard about it but that changed now.
Yesterday, I have gotten a comment on one of my facebook postings with a hand drawn marker painting I have made this week.
The guy said that he really likes my illustrations and requested a PM because he wants to purchase something from me.
I was really lucky because someone else also commented on the same image just on instagram and I thought - ok cool, people seem to like these simple marker paintings -
But the person on insta just lost interested when I told them the price (25$ + shipping or 15$ for a digital print version which IS NOT EVEN EXPANSIVE BRU!) however.
The guy on facebook just replied to by message today and said he wants NFT art from me.
I googled about it and saw that this is not just normal commission art.
I said I have no experience into NFT art but if he wants something from me, no matter if digital or traditional, I can work something out.
He just said now that he only buys NFTs, mostly for personal collection, but also for companies or something and then he picked two traditional paintings from me and said he would give me some amount of crypto currency for that.
I am sure that this guy is a scammer.
Because I also read something about NFT scams who come across just like this guy did.
His facebook profile appears to play an artist who lives in Sydney but originates from Manchaster UK.
Not sure if anything of that is true. He has a few photos of himself posted but also some art stuff, so I don´t know if that's true or stolen.
I just pretended on my way to do deals and the end of story way "Okay thanks for your time" but he put me onto his follow list for some reason :-/
What do you think? Did you have any people come to you asking you for NFT art?

Wenns dir komisch vor kommt, lass es. Wenn dein kleines Wolfsbäuchlein anfängt flau zu werden oder etwas "zu gut" klingt, verlierst du meistens Geld oder hast im Worst Case noch ärgere Probleme danach.

OP
Ja das stimmt. Ich bin vor einigen jahren schonmal auf einen Scam-anruf reinfefallen, aber damals konnten sie mir auch nicht viel Geld abknöpfen und Paypal hat den Scam auch bemerkt und mir das Geld zurück erstattet. Ich hatte da echt Glück. Seitdem bin ich immer vorsichtig was Onlinehandel angeht. Bei diesem Fall kam ich auf die Idee das es ein Scammer sein könnte, als er mir so frei raus sagte das ich doch durch seine Hilfe zu einem NFT Händler werden könnte. Das kam mir schon komisch vor, vorallem weil er ja so gern meine Kunst kaufen wollte, aber halt nur als NFT und nicht auf die Art wie ich es ihm vorher erklärt hab. Deswegen hab ich NFT Scam gegoogelt und fand einen Artikel der es so beschrieb wie das hier vorgekommen ist. Da war mir alles klar und ich bestand nochmal auf die Art wie ich Geschäfte mache. Da ist er dann auf Abstand gegangen. Das sagt ja schon alles.
