Warning about a possible scammer!
8 months ago
Hello, to all my followers and all my kind people, I've been reporting a person who was just wasting our time, knowing that we rely on commission money to live on.
This person, named "Oniixide" (https://en.pronouns.page/@Oniixide), contacted my boyfriend TheNako three days ago to ask him for a supposed commission, and to this day, he hasn't responded to any messages regarding his order.
This person remains offline via DS (Oniix1de), which is how he spoke to my boyfriend.
I apologize if the English is not very understandable, I write all this through Google Translate.
These are my boyfriend's words on the subject:
"Well, the person arrived like any other client, asked me for my commission table since she saw me on FA and the price table is on my profile, she asked how much 5 drawings would cost as if it were a comic-style sequence, where each pose would be different, she asked for it in flat color, with clothing and accessories giving a total of $525, she didn't make problems with the payment until I asked her if I sent her the invoice, to which she replied that she intended to pay after I sent her the sketches, which I told her could not be the case since my rules specifically state that I start working after payment, responding with sad emojis and saying that she has already been scammed and that is why it was more comfortable for her to use HER method, that's where I ask myself, if an artist has already scammed you, why do you go to a new one where you don't know anything and ask for a bunch of drawings, exposing yourself to being scammed again? Wouldn't it be smarter to ask for the lowest commission to prove your authenticity as an artist? The thing is, I told him that I wouldn't change the rules and he could only trust my word, I explained to him that I live off this and I wouldn't be able to tarnish my name for a couple of dollars, I wouldn't be able to scam a person, especially if he likes what I do, it wouldn't make sense, plus with this I keep a house and feed my son, after telling him all this in the end he agreed to want to commission me and sent me his PayPal, I asked him to let me know and after that he disappeared, he didn't answer the messages I sent him again and the invoice I made ended up expiring (Which I told him and he still didn't respond just like I told him that if he didn't respond in 24 hours, his slot would be eliminated) and well more than anything I want you to be careful with these types of people since many come with false stories to be ashamed in order to fulfill the task of scamming artists, especially the new ones where many accept the client's terms where it shouldn't be like that, also one also wastes time and It's not exciting."
If you've made it to the end, I'm just trying to warn you to be careful with these types of clients... They only get your hopes up and waste your time responding to them when you could be responding to other real clients.
And just to make it clear that if a client backs out, IT COSTS NOTHING TO WARN THE ARTIST. Instead of simply leaving you in doubt about whether they'll respond or not, you have to be thick-skinned and have a bit of shame to ignore them like that.

Tiene bastabte gente como para hacerse el bólido y no responder más a los artistas, lo cual sospecho que no hemos sido los únicos que han perdido el tiempo con ella...
