Public service announcement: Scams

If an artist that you don't follow sends you a PM out of nowhere and asks you to commission them: Red flag!

The "artist" has no profile or any activity is only tracable back to one month: Red flag!

If the account is quite old, check the dates of the latest posts and Favs. If the latest are months old: Red flag! It could be an old hijacked account

The "artist" offers an extremely wide range of art, like 2D, 2D animation, 3D, 3D animation, VR chat models, Vtuber avatars, and more: Red flag!

The "artist's" art is not consistent at all: Red flag!

The "artist" gives you a price range that starts with 100$ Red flag!

The "artist" talks like this:
" Ayyy ewwo! Again, how are you doing today? Hope you're doing well! ^^

What I wanted to ask you btw is... well... I really really dunno if this is really okay to ask so huge apologies in advance... But would you be interested for an art commission??? I can show my examples from my gallery if you want proof ^^ BUT If you have to reject cuz you're not interested or not okay with it bcuz this was out of nowhere, I'm truly sorry for offering you so rudely and randomly •~• I completely understand if you have to decline the offer (I really mean no harm offering and not pushing you about this >~<)

Red flag!

Most art is posted on one day? Red flag!

That first example has happened to me before.  I simply ignored the person long enough to go away.
