Furry Survey - Beware
5 years ago
It's not every day since I post this type of content, but I feel a strong need to be adressed.
If you get a note from someone saying about helping artists grow, contatning a link to a blank form - do not, I repeat: DO NOT open it by any means!
While the website may look harmless at first sight, it's a legit scam page, that also installs some kind of malware on your device.
I've gotten this type of message twice from two different accounts: BrunoMefeu & Tommiips. However they're both the same person, since message content was no different.
Honestly, it disgusts me that we have this type of scum in our fandom, taking advantage from beginner artists, as well as experienced artists who decided to start making commissions.
The only and best way to prevent it is standard shit: spread the awareness and report the ill-doers!

But it doesn’t take long until FA staff bans them which is good but it’s such.. UGH.
I’ll repost this! :)
I used to have similar story on DeviantArt with a spambot trying to hit me up a few years back, but at least it got banned before I even managed to check who the hell it even was.
Thank you for reposting BTW. The more people will know the better ;)
