NOTICE! Discord Scam UPDATE.
a month ago
General
This is a more complete follow-up to my last journal ( https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11259441 )
Since my last YCH there has been reports of a user going around Discord pretending to be an artist from FurAffinity.
This is possibly directly linked artists who are in the FurAffinity discord server as well, which I am in.
Do note that I do have a discord account, but it is clearly labeled Boneboxy in both display name AND discord ID.
Also on my discord account there should be a direct link to my Bluesky account: boneboxy.bsky.social
Any variation to these and it is probably not me.
The user in question that was pretending to be me had the id of; .simplijinx.
There are also artists with very similar nametags so it's very important to be extra vigilant.
Additionally I stated that I will not contact my customers directly via Discord, to this I want to give more proper response.
Generally I do not contact my customers via any other means than FA or Bluesky, but if there are issues with payments and the deadline is closing in
I might contact you via Telegram, Discord OR send a Paypal reminder via email. Just to remind you that I sent a bill to your given email.
I will never contact you asking for money directly nor do I send you any links. So do not press or open any links that are sent from a suspicious user.
Please be careful out there and stay safe!
