Is this a scam?

[Patt Legg]

This may be silly but here goes.

I received an email from a person in the UK who said she wishes to purchase 2 of my paintings from my web site. As I do not give pricing on the site, she emailed me.

First I thought it was a joke although all looks ok. I replied ---expecting never to hear from her. Three days passed. Tonight I received her reply. She wants one of them now. She said that she would have her shippers contact me as she wishes them to add this painting to their shipping of her personal things as she is in process of moving.

She says she will send US Cashiers Check. I also have heard from the shipping co.--address of
UK shippers asking me the freight amount as she will pay for it and they need to get her payment prior to picking up the shipment of paintings from me.

Sound loko? I am assuming it is ok and cannot see what I could lose. Please anyone, give me ideas how to handle the packing (one on panel and one on canvas) she wants the panel, the exchanging of painting and Cashiers Check. I need to know if I should send something separate as far as her accepting the artwork, insurance and what if she is displeased after she sees them in life. It is a 24"x 28.

Any ideas will be most welcome.
