Got a guy wanting to commission me for 500usd (already kind of a red flag) for a simple picture made from a drawing
I already knew this was a scam i sent some in progress stuff that took a few minutes and sent a payment link just to see and sure enough he sends me some screenshots of a payment complete screen and an email to my spam folder
As a note paypal does not use gmail as an email host it will almost always end with paypal.com so do not fall for it do not click links do not click anything and do not call any numbers they are looking for info to steal!!
Anyway now more about this saund***** on deviant art makes the request to chat on discord for a commission

I add them they tell me they wanna pay 500 for a piece.
They send me the image they want me to work off of.... i know its likely a scam so i reverse image search since this person is supposedly a cousin and the photo was taken by them and never posted.
It has one result and im thinking maybe its legit??
i find the profile that posted it and it was recently deleted but here is the profile
It is full of violent call to action political stuff... right after my car was shot my radical democrats???
But guess what it is a radical republican page ... so im now getting screwed from both ends of the spectrum!!??
Remember this is just to remind you to be aware of scams neither side is 100 percent good or bad its just some outlying idiots that ruin it for everyone
Have a good day all and practice safe internet usage!
...Isn't that 500 bucks close to the 600 bucks you said you spent on replacing the windshield? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it sounds as though they were hoping you were desperate for cash.
