Scam Awareness/How I do YCHs
2 months ago
Hi all, just wanted to make this considering YCH scams have been happening a lot recently~
First off, when an auction of mine ends, whether by AB or winning, I will ALWAYS send a follow-up note directly to the winner, directly from my FA account.
If someone ABs or wins an auction, and then is unable to pay, or "flakes out", I will just repost the auction and start it over again. (This has only happened once)
I will NEVER, privately message runner-ups or other users showing interest, saying that the winner "flaked out" and offer the YCH directly to specific individuals. I will always make sure the auction is reposted fairly so everybody has at least a chance~
The only other thing I can say, is to please stay vigilant and be extra cautious when it comes to exchanging money/information~
Please don't hesitate to message me if you need to double check something or confirm any suspicious messages/requests!
Thanks everybody, stay safe <3

Noire already warned some of us about on a group it's into, hope there'd be a solution soon for that problem


Not much in the way of solutions beyond using existing reporting tools and awareness of how to identify a scam.

Yeah, only if there were more easy to prevent them or something

You know OokamiKemono had the same thing happen recently. This is starting to become a very scary thing
