Artist BEWARE!

Hello FA!
I just wanted to make a journal informing people/furries about a known scammer.
If you know ( or don't know then you are lucky ) but Arody (yes THAT Arody) is back and she has recently popped up on Twitter.
( https://twitter.com/xibalbakat )
If you don't know her whole mantra is doing small commissions to gain a level of trust before taking so many orders then ghosting and running off with the money.
(She got me this way for 25$ USD a few years ago BUT she also got a few friends I know, One PERSONALLY as well. The online friends were both taken for 900$ USD and the other for 2500$ USD. My IRL friend got hooked for 450$ USD. It is a whole different amount then what I was scammed for but still a scam is a scam!)
I know no one will ever get their art let alone their money back but I just thought anyone who reads this should know. I know FA is not as active as It once was but If you want you can help spread the word or just be safe and avoid her.
I know many people will probably take up her offer for extremely cheap commissions but all I can say is there are a couple of hundred others who did and never got anything so be forewarned.

That's honestly so terrible, to screw over someone who chooses to support the fandom instead of spending their disposable income elsewhere.
What the hell tho, what a dick move. Someone works hard, and this happens -_-
Yea and this problem seems to be getting worse within the community as time goes on sadly.
