not one, but both of my furbid auctions were hit by a scam artist. the one auction with a buy it now, was bought out and i sent my usual email stating payment instructions, shipping address request and a total for the auction winner. i received an email back stating they wanted my full name, home address and phone number. do not ever, under any circumstances give out this information to a complete stranger on the internet. the initial email was extremely crude and badly written. the second email i received was a copy paste job giving me an excuse as to why they needed such information. i politely told them to go fuck themselves and never to bid on my auctions again.

the email address this was stemmed to was a yahoo account. i cant for the life of me find any way to report this shit to them. i was not, by any means the only artist that was treated and attempted to be scammed by this. my auction is listed back on fur buy now, i dont know what im going to do with the other. this was sorely disappointing because i thought i would actually receive my wanted holiday funds. to everyone who posts art auctions, PLEASE watch out for this sort of thing. under no circumstances should you ever give out the above information. and if anyone can help me with any way to report this user, i would really appreciate it.
