Hey guys, if you’re not subbed to my YouTube channel, I want to announce that I’m reviving it and just posted a poll for everyone to vote on. Please check it out and leave your vote. You can find the link to my channel in my bio. It’s Author Ori.

Oh man it’s been a while hasn’t it. Hi, it me. I’m not dead. But I’ve been in a long term writers block due to stress and college workload. I had some wonderful plans to improve myself so that when I come back to writing, I can write even better and maybe even add illustrations or animations to my projects. I’m sorry I’ve been making you guys wait so long for me. A lot happened. Believe it or not I actually got Pneumonia after my last message which really messed things up for me. I’m doing better now. When the workload for college is low I’ll take a look at my unfinished works and see what I can do to finish them. I don’t like cliffhangers and I’m certain you guys don’t either.

The saga continues as once again a scammer has tried to con me. Unfortunately you can alter the script all you like but I see you. Anyways PSA time. Keep an eye out for scammers claiming to be comic artists. If they like your story and say they want to make a comic out of it, check their profile. How long have they been on Wattpad if the answer is less than a month or less than a week, that person is likely a scammer trying to steal your money and personal info. Stay vigilant guys and please watch out for your favorite authors too.

@lost1974 the screenshots are just something to keep a collection of evidence. I do that in hopes that Wattpad will contact me for the reports I’ve been making so I can provide solid evidence. You don’t have to, it was only a suggestion. Plus keeping screenshots will help you keep an eye out for similar scripts. Sometimes the scammer deletes their message if they know they didn’t hook you.

@lost1974 the best thing to do is to report it as spam and take screenshots as evidence so you know what to look for. I’ve been at this for months and keeping a long album of screenshots.

Hello everyone, it’s time for yet another PSA because yet another one showed up in my books… So if you’re an author and someone claims to be a comic artist and they like your story and want you to message them, they’re most likely a scammer. I’ve run into 4 and I can tell you word for word the script they use and that they don’t actually read the story you wrote, just pretend they did by commenting on a random chapter. If it looks suspicious and generalized with no references to the story at all, it’s probably a scam and don’t give them your money or your personal info. Readers, if you see a comment like this while you’re reading your favorite author’s story, report it as spam. This is getting ridiculous and I don’t like that these scammers are targeting fanfic authors.

Hi everyone, once again I gotta put out another PSA to tell y’all not to accept offers from people claiming to be comic artists on Wattpad. Please don’t respond to them or give them your personal information. If you read a story and see in the comments someone claiming to be a comic artist and offering to draw that story for a special rate, report it because it’s a scam. We gotta step up and keep our authors safe.

Hello everyone! I have an announcement to make! Twice now I’ve been contacted by people in the comment section of my books claiming to be manga and comic artists and I think they’re scamming me. As such I want to warn all of you who might also be writers to watch out for people claiming to be comic or manga artists saying they want to make your writing into a comic. Don’t give them your private information and stay safe!
