DONT GET SCAMMED! there's this person who called herself an artist but generates a bunch of AI blob and expects you to pay 100-200 for it. I can't share her name for her safety, but for your safety, I will explain EVERYTHING she tried to do to scam me:
(Scammers usually share all this in common)
• She used the excuse of not having enough money for rent
• She is way too pushy, making you uncomfortable
• She tries to make you feel guilty for not commissioning her by using tactics like; "I need this money, and you're not helping me, please help me"
• She uses PayPal
• She was very manipulative, and tried to make you feel bad for her and 'help her out' with her financial problems
• She explained that she didn't mind if you paid in parts and not full price
• Said that since it would be your first time purchasing art from her, she would give you a discount
• She tried to act friendly, and tried to get vulnerable information from you to use against you
• She will try to mock you if you share any vulnerable personal information
• Her art looks like chatgpt art style
• She's been a member of discord since August 2019
• She has a pfp of a brown haired anime girl that's smiling with her mouth open, winking, and with her finger pointing
• She uses comic style 'art' with like different panels using bubble speeches ect.
If you come across a person who is WAYY too pushy and desperate, even when you say no, please remove yourself from that situation, they're not safe to be around, no matter what the circumstances are. They most likely try to use you, and use any personal information you gave them against you to mock you. Even if at first they seem like a nice person, try not to show them any personal things you're proud of. They might steal your work, or emotionally hurt and put you down, making you insecure, trying to force you to buy their art, making you think 'my art isn't good enough'
Stay safe everyone
