Good Birthday uvu

General
I had a great time away with friends, nothing has gone horribly wrong this month, things are looking good uvu~~
Unrelatedly while I was away I think someone tried to scam me? A new account by the name of Homesidechivk8890 contacted me through notes asking to use my art for a reference in something they're making. I told them sure, they replied back with a link to my gallery to show me what it was (I typed in the submission number manually as I didn't trust any links from them) and I said sure again. Then they tried asking for my contact information so they could update me on what they were doing, I just told them no thanks I'm fine not hearing about it. A few days later I discover the account is pending deletion via the administration. Very odd indeed.

And I almost never trust those kind of messages
If you were to click on the link, it would most likely take you to a page that looked like the FA login screen and proceed to steal your account credentials when you attempted to log in. Upon realizing you were not falling for their scam, they tried additional social engineering to at least obtain your email or phone number so they can sell it online or subscribe it to mailing lists.
It is most likely that you are not the only person they tried this with, hence their account getting banned.
Also, happy birthday ^^
That's weird, I've never heard of someone doing that. Strange, for sure.
You deserve some love and relaxation, bud
Ooh hell that's definitely weird!! I find neat your caution with links, I'm kinda same x3!
I'm very sorry that you almost got scammed! Same thing happened to me on blue sky where this account lottery had no Art and this person wanted to draw my plane guy for $20 and I said sure until they kept demanding, and that was what I knew, hey they're scamming. Plus lost $400 While trying to buy a simple Laptop from Atlanta, and the person wanted me to send money through different numbers. I hope you have a fantastic birthday!!! X3
N always great to hear another scammer is eating dust, love to see it
