SCAMMER ALERT
a week ago
I've been getting reports that there are scammers impersonating me on Discord.
Judging by recent journals, it seems like many artists are being impersonated recently.
In a particular case a scammer messaged my client asking for a payment on claimed ych before I could have messaged my client myself. They are obviously scanning my FA profile and submissions.
Hopefully these tips will help you to avoid impostors:
- I only have one Discord profile. I don't have any alts, "old" and "new" accounts. My account is active since 2016
- I don't use Paypal for payments, not as the first option at least. I use boosty and the link is on my profile page.
- I'm not searching for clients on any discord servers and I will never write to you first unless:
a) We are already friends and have a chat history
b) We were chatting with FA's messages and decided to move over to Discord
c) You've filled in my google form showing an interest in commissioning me.
Only in case c I'll try to add you as a friend and will provide you with the information only I should know from the form you've filled.
In all cases if there's even a tiny shadow of doubt, message me here on FA first so you can be sure you are talking to real me.
If you are claiming my YCH or commission, please wait for a confirmation message from this profile here on FA first.

Yup, I have to get two messages from different platforms to confirm it once. One of those scamming idiots linked me a Discord to where the real artist was. Least Paypal freezes accounts it thinks are malicious...
