Description
Christopher Boffoli, a fine art photographer best known for Big Appetites, has been making headlines across the country, but not for his work. He's warning other small businesses and artists about a cross-country credit card scam.
"This isn't something in 12 years of selling fine art, this has never come up with any of the galleries that have sold my work. I've never had my piece stolen before," Boffoli said.
