STORY TIME: I got scammed thru PayPal
Posted 8 months agoDear followers, commissioners!
For the first time in my artist and creator carreer, I got scammed.
The fake account personated an artist which I wanted to pay out for a drawing which I won. This scammer had the same name and profile picture as what the artist had.
The conversation was okay at first , but at the moment I got a message from the REAL artist, the scammer said "It's okay. We can solve this problem don't worry..."
Some minutes later the real artist itself contacted me, while I was messaging with the 'scammer'.
Meanwhile I accidentally blocked the real artist because I thought they are the scammers...well it was the way around.
I contacted PayPal's support agent about this and they said I should contact the service which thru I sent the payment from with my card (my card was from a service I use daily.)
Some days later I got a message that my money can't be refunded...
So now I owe myself and the artist that money...
❗️❗️ ⚠ BE CAREFUL, CHECK IT TRIPLE TIMES IF THE PERSON YOU ARE SENDING PAYMENTS TO IS A REAL PERSON NOT A SCAMMER ⚠❗️❗️
❗️❗️ ⚠ ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE PAYMENT YOU SEND IS AUTHENTICATED (e.g to PayPal or other service!) ⚠❗️❗️
❗️❗️ ⚠ ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PERSON TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE TRUSTABLE AND NOT SCAMMERS ⚠❗️❗️
From now on I will write in every description of my commissions, adoptables, auctions etc WHICH WAYS and HOW you can send me payments and HOW YOU CAN CONTACT ME.
❗️❗️ PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE......ALWAYS, ALWAYS READ MY TERMS OF USE AND ACCEPT THE MENTIONED SECTIONS IF YOU WISH TO GET A COMMISSION❗️❗️
This way you can avoid such thing like getting scammed.

Private life UPDATE
Posted 12 months agoAUGUST 29th:
I got fired from my job while I was under probation. I needed time to process that and start searching for a job again...
Meanwhile I had to deal with mental and health problems, monthly social insurance + bill payments and financial problems.
The job, what I had to do included communicating directly with customers and lifting up n carry paint barrels daily, multiple times from place to place... I am not that strong physically as my workmates were...they are grown men OF COURSE they can lift up a barrel easily and swing it from place-to-place... My legs were full of scratches and purple spots almost every day.
I had to work 8-10~ hours daily AND AFTER the main work was done I had to do the cleaning too in the WHOLE place too. After I got home I still had to do the daily chores; e.g cooking a dinner which I can eat next days for lunch at work, washing clothes, tidy up the room...
I'm tried very hard to get used to waking up very early (5:40 AM), focus at work and to balance my days so I COULD rest after I get home.. but it was very hard since I did 2 people's job at once :/
The HR guy came at me and talked w me about...a lot of stuff.
" This job isn't really for you. You are, let's say small and fragile. You are a woman. You did your job well, you looked after everything, you kept everything in order, you gave out the goods to the customers exactly and precisely as they wanted, that was not the problem. The problem of firing you is what you know as well. There's a lot of options about jobs ahead of you regarding your future. The fact that you had to lift up and carry 25kg paint barrels daily, multiple times from place to place is not for you. We saw that you did your tasks well and precisely. But as you can see this door closes and another will open soon."
SEPTEMBER 25th
I went for an interview for a job I applied to around september 15th. The boss asked me a few questions so I did too. We talked about the details of the company, about the enviroment, about circa what my job will be mainly, work hours and the salary...etc. The boss told me that if I can do/help in multiple things, that's very good because my salary will rise by time.
He told me that "we offer for the interviewers that they can come here again next time, when we are free so we can get a tour around the workplace. Meanwhile the future workmates will also answer for our questions too if we have any...and after this we just have to wait for their answers that are we applied for this job or not."
I said yes to this opportunity because I wanted to see of more of the workplace.
SEPTEMBER 26th
The boss was not there sadly but I wanted to ask a few questions especially from him. They said they'll tell the boss that I was here and got the guide around the workplace.
Dorothy and Anna guided me around the workplace, told me some stuff about the customers...etc... Then they asked me, do I know this program which they showed me in the PC. I said yes I tried it some years ago but I am not the best at it, since most of it is new to me. They said "Splendid! Finally not just the two of us will be who can use this program out of the 10 other workmates."
I thanked the guideing and I went home. Just before I got home the boss called me about "I heard you was here to get the guide around the place. I'd like to inform you that we would like to welcome you into our team :) When would you like to start?" I told him that I want to start next week monday (AKA ASAP, because I was excited what this new job can bring me and I also need money and work experience.)
He hung up the phone. After this call I immediately told my roommate and my partner about the 'good news'.
SEPTEMBER 27-28th
I was getting ready mentally for this new job. Imagining myself do the stuff at this new workplace and every little detail about this new journey.
SEPTEMBER 29th
I woke up with a sore throat, donkey-like coughing and a bit of fever. I got anxious and worried that if I got sick now, how will I start my new job tomorrow?
I asked my friends about what they think... I was thinking about the good version of this situation...I will go in for my first day in a mask to protect everyone and myself too and ask the boss if theres a chance for me to start next week?
After I calmed down a bit I went to the nearby last open pharmacy to buy some medicine and ginger to make myself flaming hot tea for my throat and get better ASAP.
SEPTEMBER 30th
I got up early, made myself hot tea which I could drank on-the-go. I got there, welcomed everyone loudly with good morning (+ a little bit of sad n sick voice)
Anna asked me "did I got colds or is it covid or worse like ebola?" I told her I got colds somehow, but good questions how and why whenas I wore my winter coat everywhere since the first cold weather came here. Because I wanted to protect myself from getting sick.
She said "Get well soon. Unfortunately autumn is like that. There is always a time in every season when people get sick somehow no matter how much they take care of themselves. The boss will be here soon, ask him if you can go home and get well asap so you can start next week."
The boss came and I told him what I told to Anna too. He said "It's okay, health is priority. Get well soon. Take care of yourself, you can go home to get better. We are not full of orders and tasks atm, so you can start next week. Until that, I will send you the form which u will have to fill out with your data."
OCTOBER 1st
I had headaches, malaise, I was powerless all day. I was resting in bed all day, drinking tea to get better as soon as possible.
It became a little bit better as the night came. I had zero strength but I managed to take a shower and fill that form with my data...but after that I went back to bed again.
OCTOBER 3rd
Same rotation continued as yesterday, I felt sick as hell. I slept 13 hours straight until I woke to a phone call at 6PM. I checked the number and it was from the place I went to 2 times. I called back the number, and the boss was who picked it up.
He: "I saw that you filled the fomr with your data, thank you, everything is okay with it."
Me: "Okay, good to hear."
He: "I'm really sorry to tell you this now, but you can't start on Tuesday. I'm sorry that you had to go here two times needlessly."
Me: "...okay...can I ask...why? did you found someone who could do the job better...or who can start earlier?"
He: "No, um, there are several reasons for this...I'm really sorry"
*silence because I just woke up from a 13 hour nap and my heart rate was in the air*
Me: "alright, ty for telling me. I am very upset now, since I sent the form yesterday with my data...and you also told me that I can come home to get better so I can start next week..."
He: *little bit of silence* *sigh* "I'm sorry." *little silence again* "How are you btw? Did your health got any better?"
Me: *just woke up from a 13 hour sleep, nose full of stuff, sour throat, heart rate faster than light...* "Uhhh, slowly but I am getting better, yes. This is NOT how I imagined to "start" my new job."
Dear, thank you so much for reading and understanding, it means a lot to me!...❤️🩹
I'm sorry if I am late with orders. I'm sorry if my mental state and health status is not okay. I can't count anymore since when I am in these situations.
I am trying so hard to get a proper job, get healthier, finish tasks by a date...but I just can't. I don't feel like I can continue any thing in this state.
I need a rest. I need a big change. Something that can change my health status and phyisical condition.
If this is not enough, meanwhile this shit train happening I got zero empathy from my dad and stepmom.
I had enough.
I KNOW all this bullshit text I made here means nothing for some of you. But it means a lot to me EVEN IF JUST SOME of you reads it. Thank you so much for understanding, it means a lot to me! 💝
❗❗❗ If you feel like you are waiting for too long, DM me and let's talk about it. I messaged some of you about "if you're waiting for too long, I'll draw a gift for you for every 3 months of waiting." and as always I'll keep my word.❗❗❗
