  How to avoid scams?

  Gallerish is not involved in or responsible for transactions or payments, but here are a few tips that some artists have recommended to avoid scams:

  • Sell your artworks locally.
  • Use Paypal instead of cashier checks or money orders.
  • Never give out your personal information, such as SSN.
  • Check out scam alerts listed at Art Forum. Artists are encouraged to share advices there.
  • Use the Email Statistics page to find out how many emails the customer-of-interest has sent out. If this number is high, it might be a scam, as most people would send only an email or two to inquire about artworks or events.
