Hello everyone. I wanted to issue a warning for anyone considering commissioning m1lkreXxX. About 3 months ago I put in a YCH request, paid and purchased a YCH from them. 3 months later I haven’t received an update, sketch or anything regarding it. Recently it has come to light that VARIOUS others have been waiting for over 6 months for things THEY have purchased themselves and paid for from this artist. For anyone who is considering commissioning, purchasing, or doing other business from them, I would highly advise AGAINST it at this current point in time. They are going around playing clean up currently, deleting shouts that mention unreceived product and more.
Milk is clearly avoiding anything regarding their failure to deliver product to ANYONE by deleting it off of public spaces where users can see it. The journal in mention is over 2 weeks old at this point. And suddenly they’re now posting new adopts for sale without delivering current products.
And it is now gone, their journal where others began commenting: https://imgur.com/a/ePYkB4Q that will more than likely be deleted is recorded here.
STAY CLEAR IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SCAMMED. As this user seemingly has new issues weekly to avoid delivering. I understand having stuff pop up, but keeping purchasers in the dark is not okay and completely ignoring them while making money is WORSE.
I have no hatred on waiting for art.. but I fell for the lies and deception. This artist was on my radar for a while and it’s a shame to see what’s happened to me and others.
UPDATE:
I have recently discovered the artist is a prior scam artist known as chloeelaw, this artist took tons of money from people prior and abandoned their account since to create the new Milkie account. The same thing will more than likely occur when this artist has something tragic happen just like the prior account.
Supposedly, "I am working on commissions" is what they posted recently, in light of that I highly doubt it. Multiple people have come out to state they've lost money to this artist already, one losing over 150$ USD (Which has a HIGHER conversion cost in their country.) to them around a YEAR ago. With no response.
Here are some new shouts that will be deleted soon more than likely in order to cover their tracks and bad publicity: https://i.imgur.com/M460q37.png
UPDATE 2:
Milkie is reading comments made by me and explicitly deleting them now, along with blocking journal comments regarding it. ALL COMMENTS REGARDING NO RETURN ARE NOW DELETED BY MILKIE.
Update 3: Milkie has deleted and blocked any and all comments on their profile now.
Linked this journal in my own, hope you don't mind. I know several people who had gotten art from them and it's never been delivered. Finding out that they're deleting and hiding stuff makes stuff worse, and I feel anyone who has gotten anything from them should chargeback through paypal.

Turns out this person is also a person from before named Chloelaww, they scammed before and came back for round 2 apparently. And managed to get me, despite me waiting, watching and being careful about it. I got fucked by this person 2 times now. Sadly the way I paid was not paypal and is non-refundable.

I have the same issue on how I paid for my YCH. This really brings back to mind that there needs to be a change in how art is paid for. As it is all the risk is on the buyer.
Scammers like this have it easy with everyone demanding full payment up front. There needs to be a balance. Like 25% or half up front and the rest on delivery, or something... It will not stop scammers 100% but at least then the buys wont be out all their money if scammed and on the flip side if the artist gets stiffed by the buyer, they still have something for their time.

Dang. I'm hoping there will at least be a proper outcome from the Inkbunny staff... As I know there have been a few artists removed from Inkbunny for failure to honor commissions en masse before. I'd also suggest if anyone can, they charge back as well as make an Artists Beware.
This is also why I'm extremely hesitant on trying new artists, because every other day you hear of a scammer, work never delivered, or subpar quality.

Just as I said in the post (while documenting) Milkie is deleting ANYTHING regarding owed art on their journals now. All the comments regarding their unfinished commissions are gone once more. Thank god I took screenshots.

If you used https://hipolink.net/ to pay for your art that you did not get from m1lkreXxX you can open a report about it. I did and you can up load your screen shots, if you have any, of the proof they never delivered.
They responded to me asking if I tried contacting the m1lkreXxX but my case is so old it may not go anywhere. But its worth a shot and the more people reporting her the better.

Yeah... I put in a comm with that artist a couple of months ago. I haven't gotten any progress, and they basically don't respond to my requests for anything.
It's a shame, their art is cute.

I completely understand. I have a YCH they still have not done that I payed for a year ago. I did an adopted as well and the only reason I think I got that was because she already had the art done.
Its a shame really. She have such adorable art and I know others that would just throw money at her for art if she would just deliver, including myself. I hope you get something from her, but I am not holding my breath that I will ever see that YCH I purchased or that money again.

This adds to the documentation. Person below lost 150$ USD to them, that's crazy. I cannot fucking believe this person is doing it all over. Apparently they're a prior scam artist known as chloeelaw and has scammed before and fucked people before. Will add to this list.

June 26th 2024, no reply to my notes or reply to a comment I had left even acknowledging. No trello or public queue, spent $150USD and I really would rather the art than a refund, or worse a ghosting. USD is very dear in conversion for me, so it is a great loss. I hope I get my art, I don't buy adopts, so it can be hard to watch them upload... I get everyone needs income.. but ignoring almost year old commissioners is not great
Edit: I have sent a new note, so I will see if she will get back to me

oshit, bless~ But yes, ultimately I do hope that the story can be a good ending for all involved, I do also hope that the mods do not remove her yet as it would close communications between artist and buyer (at least for me lul T_T)

Getting so sick of them!! I sent a note asking for a refund and they just said they were working on the commission and sadly can’t do a refund since they “spent” the money their treatment and medication.
Just ticks me off since I managed to commission them and another artist for adopts at the same time and I got my other adopt before seeing anything from m1lkreXxX!

They never answered any of my messages until I sent a nastier one telling them how horrible of a person I think they are, if all the health issues turns out to be a lie. I have a gut feeling that it is, after seeing the Chloe account. They told me they had "proof" and I asked to see it and they stopped responding. :/

I sent a nasty one too but got nothing. Was calling them out on their bs, but now they are gonna let anyone do business cause they’ve blocked all communication on their profile.

I’ve sent another message to them demanding a refund since I told them I wanted my adopt by the end of this month and if they don’t I would be demanding it.

I'm actually starting to doubt anyone having gotten a sketch of their commission yet. As I've yet to see anyone having confirmed they have gotten theirs (as stated in their latest journal).
That said, I've gotten replies from them, but that requires me often sending multiple notes in a short timeframe (a few days) before I get any sort of reply. And as I've seen a lot of other comment, I got the standard "hi! I'm working on commissions right now! i’ll do your commissions of course" reply most have gotten for a YCH that I paid for 6-7 months ago at this point as well as some bonus outfit for two adopts I've gotten (the finished adopts as they were drawn I got no problems though, even if I had to mention it several times before getting one of them).
I don't wanna speculate too much about their current health issues, but I do have some doubts there as well. I do hope they get better with time if they are actually sick and in pain.

That is good to hear. Hopefully you will get your money back or the art you are owed ^^ (And frankly don't settle for "I'm working on commissions right now!" as they seem to have said to so many, without having show any proof of anything. Set a hard deadline I would say in this case so they don't keep roping you along.)
Sadly, I've used boosty, so I have no such luck. Definitely will have to be more careful with whom I pay with Boosty going forwards. Aka, artists I can trust or at least have worked with before.

I sent a report to easystaff to get refund, now to see what happens. Like I’m done with waiting, I’ve message milk three times regarding my sketch since they said it was being worked on but nothing so time to bring in the refund.

Gladly, though I haven’t told Milk about me reporting a refund. Doesn’t want to let me know about my commission, so no point letting them know about the refund.

So the customer service got back to me, they said they would contact them regarding how my project. This what the said exactly regarding the matter.
“Good day to you. Thank you for reaching out and for providing the details of the situation. We completely understand your concern. At the moment, we are in the process of contacting the freelancer and requesting their proof of work regarding this project.”

So easystart staff has been trying to contact them and they have yet to get in contact with them, due to them not answering who showing them anything, they blocked/banned milk from their site until they provide a wip progress.
So Milk now only has two ways to make payments and the staff told me that she moved all of her money off of easystart. So milk knew someone would try to get a refund.

WHAT?!? Yet I haven’t been shown anything at all! They would’ve had to show custom support they had my work to get their account running, what was the name of their account on easystart? I have the feeling they abandoned the account I know and made a new one for sure.

I don't know, all I see is that the latest adopt they have up on their Inkbunny says they take payment trough EASYSTART, otherwise I have no more info to go on >3<

Hey Zhet, are they using a new easy start account and if so mind telling me it? As I’m trying to get refund but I know they’re dodging it on their old account.

I don't have a clue. Just saw that they accepted it as a payment in one of their later adopts. So, unfortunately, unless you are the winner of said bid, I don't think people would know.

Paid for a commission November 2024 and was told I’d get a sketch in a few days. Reached out for an update early March 2025 and got “hi! working on it right now“ as a response.
No updates or follow ups since then, and I haven’t received anything as proof of starting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Adding to the pile. Paid for a commission November 2024 and was told I’d get a sketch in a few days
I'll be posting a reminder journal compiling all these journals asap. Just want people to remember that m1lkre really owes a lot, even though nothing has been posted on their profile in a month.

I'm very skeptical of Grr's new journal. Notice how they used an 8 month old example of milkie's art instead of their most recent one from 2 months ago? ....probably because they knew the art is similar. </3
And I'm pretty sure they're keeping tabs on this thread contrary to being accused via PM because they instantly changed the adopt description's layout (similarities pointed out in my earlier comment) and removed the watermark from their art.
It's really a shame bc lots of people tried to give them advice before they jumped ship ;w; if they were just honest about their shortcomings and owned up to their mistakes plenty would've just flat-out donated to them.

The description formatting on the adopt is VERY similar m1lkreXxX's too, plus using the same payment website (easystart) and the grammar. At this point I'd ask an admin to IP check them, apparently this is like the third time in a row they've switched accounts to run away from stuff they owe. Scammers shouldn't be allowed to run free like this. :c

The person that requested a portfolio/proof of prior work over a week ago said that she never ended up sending anything. Literally mirroring what Milkie did when I asked for proof of them being in the hospital again.
