It looks like a poorly done variation of the typical advance fee scams that have
been circulating for years. It sounded silly
when he made the assertion that people
paid him with USPS money orders. People
generally only use those when specifically
requested to do so. Banks in Europe do
honor negotiable instruments drawn on
U.S. banks, be it checks, money orders, or
whatever. The only difference being that
they may take several more days to clear
as opposed to here. If the artist has a
working relationship with a bank in the Netherlands, money orders of any kind
should not be problem. There are also
any number of payment firms that process
U.S. payments for off-shore vendors for
a small percentage.
