I have an item listen ebay. I just got an email supposedly from someone at Pawn Stars. This is totally a scam, right? (email inside)

Hi,

Sarah **** here. I am the casting production assistant at History Channel's "Pawn Stars." We are on the hunt for some exciting items for sale and took interest in your item!

A bit about our program: Pawn Stars is an actual live-sale show, filming transactions at a pawn shop in Las Vegas. You potentially would be filmed interacting with the shop employees, negotiating the sale of your item and discussing the exciting history of the piece. On average this would would be a one day shoot for about 3-4 hours.

Please let me know if you would be interested, and if so, what price range you are comfortable selling your items for. At this time we are not aware of any specific filming dates, but if you could give me your availability over the next several months, I would greatly appreciate it. My email is sarah **** AT le****es DOT com

Thank you!

Sarah

  - They are trying to capitalize on the new film, so that's why a relatively recent item is interesting to them. -- nm - TWuG Aug 6, 11:42 1
    - Ah. Good point. Didn't really think about that. -- nm - sycor Aug 6, 11:43
Interesting. I just never would have thought they would be interested. Yeah the piece is out of production but it's only maybe 2 years old and was - sycor Aug 6, 11:35 1
- they just really want a big range of items that are interesting on tv. so, that makes sense. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 11:37
Search her name and see if she looks legit. Also, peglegpete knows Rick, at least in passing, so might know if this is - TWuG Aug 6, 11:33 1

I don't care if you say you're the queen of Sheba. This is my price on eBay. I accept Paypal. Thank you. -- nm - Mop Aug 6, 11:32
Is that "leftfieldpictures.com"? That would be the actual domain name of their production company. -- nm - Ender Aug 6, 11:31 5
- that's what's showing on her linked-in page, and there are lots of hits with her name and similar messages to others on ebay and etsy. -- nm - b. Aug 6, 11:33 1
  - Yeah, my money's on legit. -- nm - Ender Aug 6, 11:33
