Scammer Alert
9 years ago
Some of you may remember I had a King Asgore YCHabout a month ago. Well one of the people who bought two of the character spots managed to scam me out of money and free art.
the persona who went under the name Skymageddon was relatively new to the site. So i thought I scored a potential future client for art. However it was a scam. Shortly after the picture was done Skymageddon logged a complaint with Paypal saying that he didn't authorize the payments. My account was thrown into the negative and I tried to contact him.
He said that it was a mistake and that it would be cleared up. Instead he waited out the ten day period and i was billed again for not responding for 60 dollars. I tried to contact him again but his account on FA was erased and his email was gone, no way to track this person and paypal couldn't do a thing about it.
so here are some tips to avoid being scammed.
1). If someone is interested in a commission make sure they are established in the furry community.
2). If they are new to the site and willing to pay money make sure you look for any friends or associates they may have.
3). make sure you don't take any money from them until you are sure they will not scam you.
I will be looking into my client base from now on, especially any newer clients because I will not be scammed again. It was a harsh lesson to learn sadly but one I will not forget.

He's VERY infamous on the sight here. Practically everyone has gotten him in their business once or twice, even with me!
He notes me saying how I should watch him and favorite all of his stuff.
Most popular and recognizable troll here, CONSTANTLY making new accounts, underaged, always scamming with PayPal, and rigging YCH's by raising the bid/ price to an insane level!
If anyone with a new account starts to ask you for a commission or something with the examples I provided, you should just block him and report him (even though it doesn't last for that long).
