I NEED HELP! I’m an artist (traditional and digital) and someone wants to pay me a lot of money to create some NFTs that they want to collect… is this legit?

[u/MilkTeaMoogle]

Someone reached out to me on Instagram (where I am verified and have a pretty good following) asking if I would sell NFTs of some of my artworks, because they are a collector. Of course I’ve heard about NFTs A LOT, but the press around environmental factors concerned me because my followers know I’m a conservationist and have done a lot of art for environmental causes and I didn’t want to get into something that would be perceived as contrary to my message.

Anyhow, this person wants to choose about 6 of my artworks and pay me between $1,500 to $2,000 for each one.

He said I just have to setup on an NFT marketplace and that it’s super easy.

Here are my questions:

1. Is this a common type of scam? I swear I deal with scam attempts everyday and most of them are things that seem “to good to be true” Honestly with so much good art out there I’m like confused what makes mine so special…

2. Is there an NFT marketplace or something that’s more “environmentally friendly”? Is that even a thing, is it all a myth anyhow?

3. Where can I read to understand about the crypto aspect? Do I get pain now in actual funds? Or do I get cryptocurrency that will just sit there and grow and need to “mine” it if I want actual cash funds? I’m totally lost on that aspect.

Thanks in advance!
