Default Door to door student oil paintings?

Anyone ever have this? Some lady supposedly selling paintings for U of C art students was at the door.. they were pretty nice oil paintings, reproductions of famous paintings. She said they were done by students.

She was selling them for $150 and my wife ended up getting 3 for $400 because she liked them.. I was still skeptical.

She had no phone #, no cell #, no U of C student card.. she had a foreign student card. I told her I thought that no one could do much at UofC without a student card (buy books, supplies or anything), and she said she was brand now or it was a brand new class and they didn't have that yet.

I ended up returning them to her when she went a few doors down when I found this:

So what do you think.. legit? Or just some lady selling $3 chinese paintings at a huge markup?
