Massive ALERT for other small artists seeking to do commissions right now.
@almostdeepcat is a scam account, looking to scam small vulnerable artists out of their money.
Super scummy thing to do to folks trying to make a living off of their art.
@almostdeepcat commented on my commission post and asked me to dm them. Wanted “5 drawings of their son Mickey’s dog. Was immediately suspicious but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Things immediately got weird with the payment. None of the things they described showed up on my PayPal. Then tried to remedy because I felt terrible I might have just lost this guy $250.
PLEASE always remember to do your due diligence and look into things if you’re unsure or get weird vibes. And especially DO NOT take “emails” for their word. If you’re confused or unsure make a call out to your bank or PayPal support.
That (we’re going to arrest you) email really did give me a spook but that was obviously by design. (And now looking back in retrospect there are spelling errors lol)
I’m already struggling to make ends meet and this LOSER almost scammed me out of $150.
Please spread this around- this account has specifically only interacted with very small artists who’ve made posts expressing how desperate they are for commissions and that shit just made me so sad.
I love u guys stay pls stay safe!
