The words of a Dragon...
So. A few people will remember in the time between 2017 and 2019 this part of the fandom had a bit of a problem with a user known as IceGodSage. This guy has genuinely created a problem I didn't actually think possible would somehow get worse with him not being here.
Before he decided to move over to his "kissin-the-chef" or whatever-it-was-called-account he sold a bundle of his characters on to me.
All 4 of his equine characters (Sage, Azar, Zephyr, etc...), and most importantly, the gold-white tiger that also had an equine version: Zerrin - who on his own cost me over $220 USD. There was also a Rhino version of the dragon that now belongs to a fur I actually like talking to but I don't usually bring that up.
These were sold on to me so long ago however that I can't trace payments from 2018/early-'19 and because of the fact he chose to delete the conversations on Telegram I can't even do much other than pull up conversations with other friends from the time when I discussed that I had bought them.
I think this totalled up to about $350 USD worth of characters and artwork that I have now found out has been sold to other furs in 2019. I hadn't posted ANY of these guys into my gallery because my plan was to take them, update their designs a bit and THEN put them out for everyone to enjoy without the tar of that utter scumbag on them.
So understandably, I'm angry. I made mistakes and bought characters off of a guy who clearly was only interested in money and using the characters to repeatedly make sales and con money out of more people.
I know this is my first journal in months but these are things I've had to say for over 2 years now.

oof :(
you COULD go back into your PayPal history around that time and look for those specific payments you made to him. that would be solid proof enough that you bought them. he could delete chats all he wanted, you cant delete payment history.

I know this is an old journal, but I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring as well here...I was...curious, let's say. I was going over my block list, remembered this person and checked to see if they were still around. I had NO idea at the time that they were a scammer in both directions (buying and selling) but they tried to commission me for music and then threw excuse after excuse to me as to reasons why they couldn't pay, including asking if they could pay half now and half later. I'm guessing now that the reasoning for that would be so that the invoice would be incomplete and they could send a false flag to paypal and steal back my rightfully earned sale. But yeah...considering this person had the AUDACITY to message me from their new account asking for the same damn commission and trying to pass it off as a coincidence was infuriating. So yeah...I just thought I'd let you know that this person is an absolute garbage pile and should definitely be put on a global banlist for trading with...period.

OP
I totally get your rage, I've been burned before as a commissioner, this is just the all-time worst burn yet... I mean, LITERALLY 6 characters, who I now probably have to spend similar amounts of money having new designs done. I'm glad I had never commissioned things of these characters post buying them/drew them myself. Just upset I essentially had shit sold out from under me...
