subject Application for ArtsTalk 2010

Dear Arts Talk,

My name is Ammadou. I'm an artist living in Monroe Washington USA, and I am very interested in participating in ArtsTalk 2010 Artist residency program as described on your web site www.artstalk.iprels.com. I was born in Luanda but moved to the USA with my mother when I was 3 years old.

I attach my filled application. I would like to speak to you before committing myself further however. I called your USA number 954-889-6405 but could not get through. Can I reach you at the Cameroon number 0023796895137? and if so, is there is special time (Cameroon time) I should call?

Kind regards,
Ammadou
I attached the filled application posted here)

Hi Ammadou T.,
Happy to know that you took the time to browse through the site and fount it interesting to be part of. Well, our contact in the USA is right here in Cameroon to join hands together to make this program a great one, so it explains why you could not get him on the phone when you called. Of cause you can call us via our Cameroon number - 23796895137. We pleased to help you out with any necessary information you will like to know. Thanks again.

Henry Martins
This confirms that this individual is in fact using 237 96895137 and it connects that phone number to both [artstalkcam@gmail.com] and artstalk.iprels.com In case there's any doubt that intercamarts and artstalk are a scam. A lot of their content was plagiarized from akademie-solitude.de

The CV at http://intercamarts.iprels.com/keith.php

Keith Wilston (Montreal/CANADA)
Residency Period: 15nd August - 31st November 2009

Born 1978 in Montreal.
Keith has a B.F.A. in Design from Herron School of Art and he received an M.F.A. in sculpture from the same school of Art, Montreal in 2004. In 2000 he also attended the Haystack Mountain School of Craft, Deer Isle, Maine. In 2009 he was awarded a full scholarship from the Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle and in 2007 Wilston received a McKnight Foundation Grant. Keith W. was a resident artist at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson/Vermont, USA in 2007, he held an International Artist Residency in Csopak, Hungary (2006) and a residency at the Takihata Art Walking Project in Kawachinagano, Japan in 1999.

He arrived Cameroon on the 1st of August 2009 at 10:30 pm via the Douala international Airport and was picked up by our driver. Currently living at SAWA Hotel, this young international says; "Finally I'm in Cameroon. It is great to be here and it's my first time in Africa. I hope i will have a great time and create a great intercultural movement with other artists. Thanks again for the assistance with my visa and paper work and ... for everything. I'm grateful"

What they refer to as: "Our Building with Free Internet, Water, Food, Workshops and other arts related services"

is in fact a hotel in Cameroon, and that photo was simply copied from TripAdvisor and the text was mainly copied from here and here

Worth noting. Cameroon phone numbers 237 77011711 and 237 96895137 belong to this individual http://www.binamstudios.net/achillebrice.html

Also, on being awarded the placement, the holder also receives The InterCam Arts House Contract and it's rules. The holder also has to pay $1500 for His/her feeding, Excursion fee, Laundry, Public transportation passes and Medical / Emergency care.

Since I expect iprels.com will not have a long life, it's best to record some examples of where Assoua Achille Brice Eteki mounted this advance fee fraud from the very web site of the organization that awarded him that grant. Talk about ingrate.
