My partner has a website advertising his artwork for sale. He received this email Monday. We're trying to ascertain whether this is a real person, & if the offer is legit. There are several aspects that make it sound questionable (moving to South Africa, asking for discounts, taking out the shipping costs). He's thinking of offering limited edition prints of the artwork, rather than the artwork itself. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
