Avoiding possible scammers. Trusted accounts list
3 months ago
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.
● Furaffinity: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/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...)
● Hipolink: https://hipolink.me/hophwind
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.
