Scam targeting writers
a year ago
Anyone on here that writes, careful of this. There's people around doing a very specific scam that follows a certain progression each time. Here's what I know of that process:
- They send a PM with the subject "Greetings!", where they ask how things are going with you
- They ask whether they're bothering you
- They compliment your stories, also asking if you're the one that wrote them
- They say they have an idea for your stories, and ask if you want to hear it
- They say they want to turn your stories into comics
That's as far as I've gotten. To be fair, I'm only about 95% sure it's a scam, but 3 completely unrelated people have followed this exact progression now. I unfortunately don't remember the first, but the other two are:
- MikkiDraws01
- TakouraDraws
Note that they only seem to be on DA and IB.
It's possible "Draws" is a tell, but don't base anything on that until more is known.
