Hey folks,

First, let me start with this disclaimer. I am not criticizing Furaffinities policies. I maybe a bit disappointed in their answer but it is their site and understand the policies as they explained it.

I want to give my followers, how ever few they maybe, a warning of a potential scammer. I maybe wrong, Ill admit, and if I am ill take this down. How ever there are so many red flags I don't feel comfortable just sitting on this.

I was contacted by a user claiming to be an artist, after sending me a random friends request on discord.

This is the entire conversation we had including their price sheet

Their artwork quality seems all over the board, lacks a distinctive style, and their asking for exuberant prices not displayed on their sheet, which does include VR chat avatars that they have no work of posted on any of their social media pages. When I declined them stating financial issues they where more then happy to break their own policies of half at the beginning half after the first sketch, which is abnormal from every commissioner iv ever worked with which is either 100% upfront, or half upfront half when finished.

If you're wondering why I mentioned furaffinity at the beginning, I contacted them to let them know this person was searching for users and messaging them based upon the information in their profiles to operate their scam. They responded saying that since it is not happening on Furaffinity, and they do not take personal screenshots or 3rd party reports of art theft, they wont do anything.

Once again, not complaining, just a bit disappointed. If you know any of the artists that this person is impersonating, please contact them and let them know. I tried reverse image searching and havent come up with any leads yet.
