█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Over the past few days, I've seen a bunch of different artists
warn about a scammers. If it was just one or two I would say
that it's unfortunate, but with so many in just a few days...
One tactic they're using is posing as an artist, then sending a
Note about a bid/auction you just so happened to win from
way back when, another being one trying to resell a character
at a hefty price.
When buying or chatting with an Artist, make 100% sure that
they are the real deal before offering you're method of payment
and what not, and completely ignore Note's that seem too good
to be true as there seems to be way too many lately.
As for me I've never run into the trouble, I've always made sure
to check out any Artist I commission to be legit (I think I slipped
up once forever ago?) even if i've been Watching them for some
time, even checking out posts from randoms to make sure it
isn't a blank page to try and make the main profile look more real.
Be safe everyone, I would hate to see anyone have their money
taken away from them over something cruel like this.

Saw this post just after I got a note from an obviously fake Zera-Haru trying to scam me by claiming to be selling a YCH I didn't win over 3 years ago.
