Scam artist WARNING
6 months ago
Ohai! ✧˖°
I can't even believe i would be writing such a thing one day, but here we are.
One of my former closest friends - 
schlafennigredo has turned out to be a long-term scammer, and I feel compelled to warn you about her. I previously supported her work by advertising her art and collaborating on various projects, which is why I feel somewhat responsible.
We not only shared an apartment but worked together and supported each other during tough times. However, I can no longer associate with her in any capacity, as she has been scamming people for quite a while now.
My concerns started when I tried to help her by recommending her to people for commissions. Although I had doubts due to her previous failures to deliver work on time—often citing personal issues—my concerns intensified when those I referred began reporting that she was ghosting them and failing to provide updates. In the end, she delivered them subpar, hastily produced art only after I prompted her to respond and others pushed her with deadlines; and she has not refunded another friend, who has commissioned her at the approximate same time. Even then, she continued ghosting him until I reached out on his behalf. His commission still remains unrefunded.
It appears she routinely ignores people she does not intend to fulfill commissions for, so I urge you: DO NOT commission her. While she truly may face personal challenges, she consistently fails to complete artwork and abandons people after receiving payments. She is difficult to contact, and regrettably, if she owes you artwork, it is highly unlikely she will refund or complete it.
If you used PayPal to send payments to Anastasiia Chernova while commissioning Schlaf, please do not report this account as it does not belong to her. She just used one to recieve payment due to restrictions in country-agressor that we are unfortunately in right now. Reporting it will adversely affect all parties involved, except her. She's already done enough damage for me and my friends who tried to help her.
Recently, she's been making horrible things like neglecting her pets to cruel death, lying to me and others, manipulating, stealing and abusing people's kindness. She owes something to everyone who has supported her, so please do not become her next victim. I do not wish for anyone else to suffer due to her poor choices. Additionally, I find myself acting as a conduit between her and those who are trying to contact her but fail, which results in many approaching me for updates about Schlaf.
Please refrain from contacting me with the intention of assisting in resolving this situation. I cannot compel her to take any action. She is nearly 30 years old, and I do not wish to babysit her any longer. Moreover, she owes me not only financially but also morally, just as she does to those unfortunate individuals who have fallen victim to her scam activities.
I only know about her other active site - on YCH commishes that i can warn you about. If you have more information about her online presence, please share more in the comments and i'll update this journal to add the information.
All the proofs of her scam activities with story explanation behind it, as well as personal notes, can be viewed here:

Thank you, 
icarusskyhawk and 
lerajzer, for allowing me to use your screenshots to raise awareness about the situation.
This post aims to inform rather than incite hate. Please refrain from sending hate messages or engaging in negative behavior towards her, as this will not resolve the issue. If you wish to help, please share this information if you believe it is the right thing to do.
