Beware of NFT scammers
Zero Talent:
I got this weird email sent from Fine Art America:
I'm interested in buying a few of your artworks for my exhibition, about 5-10 artworks. But I'm only interested in buying them as NFTs.
I’ll offer $2500 for each of these artworks I purchase from you as I’d love to purchase these artworks as digital artworks(NFTs). Do you have a knowledge about this or should I explain further?
This is a typical NFT scam, intending to convince greedy gullible "artists" to pay hundreds of dollars on "specialized" NFT sites, to register their "art" as a prerequisite for these promised sales, which will never happen.

Why hundreds of dollars? I've heard of amounts as low as $10.

You missed the point. Scammers don't scam with legit sites. They have their own.
They prey on greedy, ignorant and gullible victims.

Why are they scammers? This does not follow from your first post. No one is asking you to spend hundreds of dollars. You can do this for a few dollars.

As seen also on other topics, you still don't get it.
They will ask you to "register" your "art" with their website. If you propose a different one, they will do their best to convince you that theirs is better. If you don't want to do it, or start asking too many questions, they will drop you and move to the next potential victims, some gullible individuals who believe that these offers are about their "art" and not about their ego, greed and ignorance.
