Benny - Another Victim of Bastards on the Internet
6 months ago
Hey!
Not nice talking this time I'm afraid.
You know on my gallery there are lot of works I commissioned at
gepredators, right? Currently, I can't commission him anymore 'cause... let's say I failed him as a customer but we're still friends... and now Benny's a friend in need... 🙁
Some people who pretended they're asking him for commission, turned out as bots who robbed him for lot of money from his savings. More details are here from Benny himself:

I remember sometime ago I wrote similar thing about
yuski:

For quick reminder! His mom was a victim of scam which caused her losing a lot of money so he decided to help her. However, as the result, now he deals with financial issues as commissions, like in Benny's case, are the only source of income.
Examples of these both artists show us we have to be more than just careful nowodays. Currenty, if you never had to deal with a bot/scammer, it means you live under the stone with no connection with Internet or... you're very, VERY lucky person. If about me, from time to time I get emails from scammers who try to rob me but fortunately, at least for now, I turn out as aware enough to avoid their shit. Another thing is on DA I started to get PMs from bots who claim they're "amazed" by my artwork I commission and they would like to offer me their commission service... and those PMs looked quite believable! 😮 Fortunately, I noticed in time somethiong's wrong. Also, who the hell offers people commissions via PMs?
Anyway, if you wanna help Benny but you have no money, you can always spread his messages about his current situation. He's a great artists with stunning looking artwork and a very nice people as well. He doesn't deserve at all for what just happened to him.
