🚨 SCAM ALERT: Impersonators on Discord 🚨

To all my wonderful clients and followers:

I have received reports that someone is IMPERSONATING me on Discord and possibly other platforms, attempting to scam people out of money or sensitive information under the guise of an art commission.
This is NOT me. Please read the following vital information to protect yourself and others.

How to Stay Safe: 3 Rules

Here are the strict rules for commissioning me. If someone claiming to be me breaks these rules, it's a scam:

1. I NEVER Cold-DM for Commissions: I will NEVER message you out of the blue, especially on Discord, to solicit a commission. Commissions are only discussed if you contact me first, or if I make a public post announcing availability.

2. Payment is ONLY through Official Channels: My official payment method is PayPal Invoice . I will NEVER ask you to pay using:
Gift cards (Steam, Amazon, etc.)
Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum)
PayPal "Friends & Family" (This removes buyer protection!)

3. Verify My Discord Tag: My ONLY and official Discord account is LeanBaoj#4048. Please double-check the spelling and numbers (or the new username format) if you receive a suspicious message.

What To Do If You Are Contacted

If you receive a suspicious DM from someone claiming to be me, please take these steps immediately:

1. DO NOT Click Any Links.
2. BLOCK the user immediately.
3. REPORT the account directly to Discord for "Impersonation" and "Scamming/Fraud."

4. Forward the evidence to me. Please send me screenshots and the Discord User ID so I can include it in my official report to Discord's Trust & Safety Team.

Thank you for your vigilance. Your help is essential in keeping our community safe and stopping these scammers. Stay safe, everyone!
