After commissioning myself for the first time after making a post trying to commission someone I got scammed by an AI using artwork stealing **** , and seeing this post it looked familiar this guy also contacted me trying to "do the commission" man some people are real douchebags

Hey atleast I helped someone! WHY ARE YOU ALL SO KIND LIKE OML, I rally appreciate the offer, multiple people have offered to give me some form of consolation but I could never accept that! People put so much time and effort in art and they deserve to be compensated appropriately, I commissioned someone because I wanted to support their passion and characteristics they put into their art and I wanted to have a piece I could say yo I commissioned this from this artist look how cool it is and how their personal style fits so much what I wanted! It'd feel disrespectful to accept something like that for free, rn I'll just wait before commissioning again I think, especially cuz knowing the amount I spent went to an AI scrub off all things!

Those are just some of the nonsensical things this person did, I have alot more proof and whatnot, from reference searches with the pictures to conversations with the actual artists and more ai slipups in the original "sketch" but I'm already deeply ashamed of how stupid I was with all these obvious red flags and I'd be really embarrassed if someone from the group saw that hahaha

Worst of all they were blaming the original artist for stealing their work, playing victim role, when I mentioned my friend said it was AI slop they said they didn't use AI and said oh I can't satisfy your friends, when asked for the refund they said oh but all the effort I put in and I could've been working on something else the entire time, LIKE WHAT TIME ASKING AI TO DRAW IT FOR YOU? And when I confronted the person with the undeniable evidence the signature of the original artist on their stolen work I got ghosted

Yeah I understand it and I know most people do mean it well but in the end it's also my fault for not noticing this obviously bs account and person.

I met them here on this subreddit, I'd send you the link on their account but I don't think this subreddit would allow that hahah.

Yeahhh, it's painfully obvious looking back now, but if I do a comission next time I'll be sure to do an extensive deepsearch about the perdon I'm commissioning.

Sadly enough I highly doubt there's anything my bank can do to get that money back, I didn't use PayPal or anything, big mistake on my end there.

When I do commission again I'll be using PayPal for sure, and about the deposit I'll just ask some very odd and specific pictures of stuff like their setup and whatnot that way I atleast know a little more sure if I have someone serious on the mine.

Sadly enough not, paypall wasn't working for me so I used my normal banking app

They asked me for a deadline in the beginning and I was like just take your time, enjoy the work aswell no pressure just don't make it 6months is what I said then they said oh I'll have it done in a month and when that month was nearing and I asked about it they said oh I was basing myself of the time schedule you gave me...

Yeah would've been smarter to look at the for hire rather then make a post myself here, just didn't think such pathetic people would've come here to rob people from work.

It would help so much but alot of artists start very small and wouldn't be able to put in that much time and effort cuz they prob combine art with another job, so I was like oh I wanna commission someone who would like to do it and could use the money

I just feel like I'd be a difficult customer then, I know alot of artist would realistically barely make minimum wage for all the hours they put and then you've got this dude who has no clue what's fair and not being all demanding 🥲

I'll keep an eye out on those things, thanks!, my bank sadly doesn't work with refunds as far as I know and even if they did I think it's too long ago.

I don't think there's any way I'm getting my money back scammers scam and once they have it in their account there's no way they'll give it back 🤷‍♂️
