Been scammed and robbed.
3 months ago
My main deviantart account has been hacked and I was tricked into trying to prove it belong to me.
I feel so stupid and hurt that I fell for it.
I'm a vulnerable person. I should have trust my gut instincts and said no and blocked it but no I panicked and lost £500.
I now have to fight for my money back and now go about protecting my accounts associated with it.
I hope it gets resolved as I am a carer for my disabled parent and I look after my baby who starts nursery soon. The money was hers.
Not like anyone paid attention to my art as much as my Naruto trash days but still.
It used to cheer me up and these early hours I now can't sleep. I feel so stressed and worried.
I feel broken .
Update: The person has now blocked me. Waiting for the company to message me as the payments look to be pending so hopefully it will get fast tracked to the right people.
Had no sleep now since yesterday.
Update 2:
Payments unfortunately cleared so it's official £500 has left my account
Spoken to my bank and now have to wait till Monday for the fraud team to dispute.
2hrs sleep last night due to the stress.

FA+

I’m so sorry that happened to you.
I hope you find a way to get through this.
Fingers crossed I managed to block the pending transaction but the amount is what is scary.
I have notified my bank so they are aware of the scam.
On the fence about keeping DA active as the site looks worse for ware with this stuff happening way too often.
I'll still be active on my toyhouse the most tbh
DA I just have had a bad time with it recently and if I can't get my account back. It's annoying to start over again.
They are absolute assholes and there scheme get more detailed. I was harassed by two users working together I presume or someone passing the hacker along.
