The only way you can secure an account is by putting certain safety features in place. Rather than creating an issue with our current account, I decided to open a new one and activated all the features \u2013 basically, money can come in, but taking money out needed to pass certain protocols that only we can do. With that now in place, I sent a fake invoice:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alexander<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Attached is an invoice for the two paintings. We will cover the packing; the only additional charge is the freight (which is noted on the invoice).

Again, please let us know when the funds will be transferred and the best delivery date?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Howard<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On Monday, June 6th, I still had not heard from &#8220;Alexander,&#8221; and knowing he wanted these works for his daughter&#8217;s birthday (ha ha), I sent the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alexander<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I assumed you would be sending the funds last week since you needed the works this week. I guess you are not moving forward with the purchase?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Howard<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Well, it did not take long to receive the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Hello Howard,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It is only a temporary delay and our accountant is working on it. Sorry for any Inconveniences.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sincerely,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Alexander Grant.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I assumed this would continue for a few more days, but I was wrong. The next morning, we received a small envelope via FedEx from HA Friend &amp; Co, Zion, IL. I opened it and discovered a check (image below) in the amount of $173,000 (a little short of the full amount $173,800 which included the shipping). I thought to myself, weren&#8217;t the funds going to be transferred in? Just one more red flag. I took the flimsy check in my hand and noticed the name of the company on the check was different from all the other names and addresses \u2013 Self Insured Group, Oklahoma City \u2013 and the bank was BancFirst.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45171\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/alexander_grant_bogus_check.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45171\" class=\"wp-image-45171\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/alexander_grant_bogus_check.jpg\" alt=\"fraudulent check made out to the gallery\" width=\"310\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/alexander_grant_bogus_check.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/alexander_grant_bogus_check-300x123.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/alexander_grant_bogus_check-1024x420.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/alexander_grant_bogus_check-768x315.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-45171\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bogus Check<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I decided to call the bank to confirm that the check was fraudulent. Their people were only able to tell me that the company and account number were correct, but the signature on the check did not match anyone in the company. I then called Self Insured Group. After a few attempts, I finally reached a lovely woman who informed me that their account had been hacked and several bogus checks were issued &#8212; ours being one of them. She then asked if I would tell her the amount, which I did &#8212; that gave her a really good laugh!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I then sent &#8220;Alexander&#8221; the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I received the check today and canceled the sale.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is not the first time someone tried to scam us with a bogus check, and it will not be the last. I recommend that everyone be a little cautious &#8212; remember the old adage &#8211; better safe than sorry. On a side note, if anyone would like to own a great work by either G. Harvey or John Stobart, just let us know&#8230; they are still available!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, May 30th, we received the following email: Hi, I am an avid art collector and I saw your Inventory through the Askart website and would love to know if the under-listed art pieces are still available for sale, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2022\/06\/alexander-grant-scammer\/?contemporary=N\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":45171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[602,32],"class_list":["post-45170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rehs-contemporary","tag-scams","tag-the-dark-side"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Alexander Grant - Scammer - Rehs Galleries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A story about Alexander Grant, an individual who attempted to scam our gallery out of two works of art valued at over $170,000.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2022\/06\/alexander-grant-scammer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Alexander Grant - Scammer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A story about Alexander Grant, an individual who attempted to scam our gallery out of two works of art valued at over $170,000.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2022\/06\/alexander-grant-scammer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Rehs Galleries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RehsGalleriesInc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/howard.rehs\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-06-08T21:32:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-02-27T08:48:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/alexander_grant_bogus_check.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"615\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Howard L.
