I'm posting this warning so some of my photog friends who run online galleries don't get trapped by this suspicious attempt to get your personal information. I LOL'd at this attempt as they tried to phish for my info. ;-)
A new domain (arthuntersgroup.com) created just a couple days ago is representing itself to be some sort of art consortium. The email starts out like the one pasted below and the URLs bring you through somewhere in Poland. The arthuntersgroup.com web site is hosted somewhere in Provo, Utah using hostmonster.com.

Please let me introduce myself. I am Elizabeth Longdale, Art&Design Blog Research Coordinator at the AHG (Art Hunters Group). We specialize in head-hunting services for businesses from the field of graphics, design and photography.
Currently we are gathering the artists, designers and photographers for one of our clients, a newly launched art startup specializing in releasing handpicked artworks on metal plates.
We believe that your blog XXXXX has the potential to be published there.
