Jordaan Fouche, art and paintings

I just received this email from Jordaan Fouche. The content is as such:

"Hello,
Been commisioned by a reputable client to
collect good artworks for interior decoration of big projects,
this includes paintings,contemporary paintings,,,nudity,landscape, abstract
paintings..
They have to be within the price range of 500 to 2000 euro
Kindly attach pictures of about 7 selcted paintings within this category
and get back to me as soon as possible
Jordaan Fouche"

This is very likely to be a scam, as the email doesn't talk about any specific work, and can target any artist. I seem to recall something about him on the Artists' Space website some years ago. The story would be that you (artist) would show some works, you'd get an appreciation email saying they'd buy one of them for a set price. You would get a check for a higher amount, and with some excuse you'd be asked to send the work and a check, only to find out that the check you got bounced and you're left with no work and money.
