Impersonator Alert!!
a year ago
I was contacted recently about a suspicious telegram account claiming to be me and trying to scam money.
It is not the first time I have heard of this scam, so be aware they likely impersonate other artists, too.
Please protect yourself. It is my first time dealing with something like this. If there is anything further I can do to protect commissioners and bidders which I may not already be doing, please let me know!!

Regarding my YCH's or any commission openings, be aware my correspondence is always through my Furaffinity account, Yogoat.
I also use these platforms:
https://itaku.ee/profile/yogoat
https://twitter.com/yogoating
https://buzzly.art/~YoGoat
https://bsky.app/profile/yogoat.bsky.social
That's all!
I do not use telegram!!
I will not contact anyone through any means except Furaffinity!! My other accounts are for posting art only.

I usually just delete journals without paying attention (and when I see one I wanted to read I already clicked nuke without seeing who it was by) but I always see every submission I get, actually only saw this journal because it was submitted after I nuked everyone else's (probably just a me problem but I still think it's a good thing to post a submission about it)
I'd also add my socials in the submission picture itself and the description, but obviously do what you want. Sorry it's happening to you tho.
(Also had people impersonating me before on Telegram too)
At least you did post something about this
