Avoiding possible scammers. Trusted accounts list
10 months ago
General
Hello anyone reading this!
You never think something bad is gonna happen to you until it does. Today is the first time I was informed about another person pretending to be me (and contacting someone who's joined my YCH auction) from an account I don't own. I'm not gonna share the scammer's account but instead, here's the full list of my accounts that I have 100% control over. Some of them are just for posting art, some are only used for work purposes. If you text me on where I don't chat, I'll most likely ask you to switch to a different platform that's on the list below. The list will be updated if needed.
Last updated on 07/07/2025.
● Discord: hophwind (only this account!!)
● Furaffinity: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/hophwind
● DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/hophwind
● YCH.commishes: https://ych.commishes.com/user/hophwind (if I text you there, I'll most likely ask you to switch to Discord right away)
● X (Twitter): https://x.com/hophwind/
● Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/hophwind
● Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hophwind (mostly abandoned...)
● Boosty: https://boosty.to/hophwind (I also occasionally post step-by-steps and speedpaints there!)
● Hipolink: https://hipolink.me/hophwind
I only have one work email address that I use for sharing finished work and work in progress images with you and I won't normally contact you using it — so please ask first if you need it or if you get a suspicious email with my username in the address/sender's name so that I confirm or deny my ownership of it.
Also my Carrd.co page duplicates all of (these except YCH.commishes just because).
I don't have a Telegram account, my email is private and I'll never ask you to pay for a YCH from an auction that's mid-running. Again, I only accept payment on Boosty and Hipolink.
You can notify me if someone is texting you trying to pretend they're Hophwind. But most importantly, don't reply to them and block + report their account.
Stay alert.
