Loongit - Loongit

happened to me recently. luckily my dad and i caught the scam with the first email, but not before i got my hopes up that i was finally getting commissioned (which is something ive wanted for basically ever), and looking at the scammers profile it was clear that they target mostly smaller and younger artists, who might be more desperate for comms, like i was. absolutely fucking vile

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

lets hear it for transgenderism and faggotry. can I get a round of applause for transgenderism and faggotry

like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

I'm about to go to sleep, but guys, halloween is tomorrow. it's tomorrow. maybe today if your time zone is different than mine.

or maybe it already happened because you might be reading this a few days in the future

or maybe you're seeing this one year in the future, and you have no idea I'm talking about a past halloween that already happened

or maybe it's christmas day, because somebody rebloged this on christmas for no reason

it might also just be November, just an insignificant day in November. statistically speaking it's a 1/12 chance you're reading this in November

I'm so excited for halloween christmas and november, I honestly like all three

If you make the face like way smaller than the rest of the head that’s me too

What do you think of Trench Crusade do you like the art and the models or is it not for you?

i don’t know much about it but it’s aesthetic looks awesome n the little bit of art i’ve seen from it have all been reeaaally gnarly. im a lil worried that the community might have a large section with 0 media literacy like warhammer does, but i still love warhammer so ill give trench crusade a try sometime!!
