How it works
Scammers pose as batik artists on Instagram and WhatsApp, advertising "authentic studio workshops" at unbeatable prices. After payment (typically $30-80 via PayPal or wire transfer), communication ceases or they provide fake studio addresses. Real workshops go unattended, with no refunds issued.
