Yeah it just sucks because we wanted to support a local artist but they turn it into this nasty experience. My wife just took all the artists info at face value and felt they were being genuine.

Yes but the consumer has to be knowledgeable about what they are buying

Just because she was not knowledgeable about it, doesn’t give an artist the right to rip her off. That’s called a scam.

That's why I said "yes." But she wasn't necessarily scammed. She bought into a bad deal because she wasn't informed. "Scam" is a crime. What happened to her was not a crime. It happened because she was uneducated. If she was educated, then she would not have been taken advantage of.
