I was just contacted by one of the bidders of my current YCH auction, that they had been approached by someone on Discord impersonating me.They claimed that my father had been hospitalized and said that I would need to close the auction early.

This is a scam. Do not interact with this individual, just report his account. I would never reach out and ask for money like this and most importantly: My father passed away in 2015. So, yeah, kind of pissed about the fact that they were making up this bullshit on top of that.

Please advise caution and always check back through official channels like on here if you feel that something is off. Do not send out money to people claiming to be artists, especially not when they insist on "friends and family" option on Paypal, to avoid refunds.
