Thanks for the heads up.

Be aware that public callouts like this are not allowed on FurAffinity and you might get in trouble for it. I would suggest writing a trouble ticket to the staff explaining that the user charged back for art and direct them to the user's shouts, explaining that the person has a history of chargebacks. If you know other affected artists, reach out to them privately and encourage the same. FA staff should be able to investigate and get them banned if you're willing to share transaction details.

Likewise, sites like artistbeware.info allow these callouts and will update info with information on bad clients. Just be aware that they'll need proof of what happened.

This is a mass warning about a fraudster. You can find confirmation on his page or in the magazines of other famous artists.

*Bewares the scammer!*

Wow, I was beginning to wonder why I was seeing this guy in so much art recently.
My heart goes out to all the artists affected by this piece of trash.

Yup, happened exactly the same to my friend not even a full day ago with desc "I purchase a digital arts but the item I received is worthless. It's not what I suppose to expect to receive."

I have a theory about this guy. Looking at the his FA, it says he's just 18 years old. Still living with his parents I bet. And he's only been registered for a few months, during which he's gotten quite a bit of art and is opening himself up for doing comms. What did he get out this mess? Sure, he got all the money he spent back, but in return he got an FA gallery that's straight up IP banned, not just suspended, and a ton of furry art that he can never show off online ever again, and OCs he can never ever use again, because his online presence is now as radioactive as Chernobyl. He can never do business in the furry sphere ever again. Either getting or making art.

I wonder if his parents found all the furry porn he bought and forced him to chargeback everything they possibly could to get the money back. I think I've heard of something like that happening before. Not discounting the possibility that he's a dumbass scammer, but overbearing parents finding out he spent thousands of dollars on furry porn could also be an explanation.

In fact I bet he stole the money from his parents to begin with, because who has thousands of dollars to spend on furry art comms within just a couple months when they're just 18? Hell, I'm a grown man in my 30s with a full time job and I don't have that kind of money.

It could be true. And we're unlikely to find out the truth now.

Geeez hes done this to so many artists,
