While we're comparing notes, did anyone else get an email from Colebreene Limited last week? They described themselves as a Corporate Art company from Northern Ireland, their website has little content but they did give a proper contact name and tel no. I probably will go back to them but was curious to see if anyone else had heard from them (or of them)
cheers
Elise

Hi all
I had one from Colebreene from Northern Ireland too. It sounded genuine to me too. We will have to see what happens there.

I also had the one from Colebreen.
It does sound a lot more genuine though I sent an email last week and haven't heard back. I must admit though that I haven't sent the CV yet, it stated in the email that their website was going to be fully up and running in a week so I thought I would wait to see it before submitting any more info. Mostly because it is no use if I really think the stuff they exhibit is not my thing but also because of being slightly paranoid. It seemed a bit strange that they would send out emails looking for artists before their site was fully up and running. I think I really am being a bit prematue with the suspicion with this one though. i shall have a re-look at their site.
