Spam Martini by Torrie Smiley

During the past 2 weeks I’ve seen my inbox flooded by concerned EBSQ members inquiring about the validity of an emailed solicitation that mentions “ebsqart” as the place where their art was viewed. The way the email was worded, most folks knew right from the start that it was a scam. Others were hopeful to sell something unexpectedly during this bad market.  All of the folks who wrote to us expressed concern for their fellow members.  I pointed them all to EBSQ’s Art Scam Alert forum.  If you’re not a forum regular (and roughly 75% of our membership has never visited the forums, or stops by rarely) you probably didn’t even know we HAD a place where you can review art scams reported by other members as well as report suspicious email you might have received yourself.

Now, this is one of the many sections of the EBSQ forums that is private. Only paid members have access. But we did want to point it out that it’s there. If you’re a paid member and would like assistance accessing the private sections of the EBSQ forums for the first time, please drop us a line. You’re missing a slew of other great Premium resources available to our community!
