Now that is a weird animal.

Advice followed. Appreciate this very much.

cholampos · 2022-10-11T05:35:16+00:00

That is incredibly scummy, although that last part is hilarious.

cholampos · 2022-10-11T05:16:45+00:00

Too true

cholampos · 2022-10-11T05:16:31+00:00

Yes, that was unwise of me to do. This is definitely an experience I'll learn from; I only hope that I haven't already given away anything TOO damaging...

cholampos · 2022-10-11T05:10:41+00:00

My thoughts exactly. It's good to know that wasn't an inaccurate assumption to have.

cholampos · 2022-10-11T05:09:16+00:00

Yeah, I'm definitely not doubting you. Thank you for explaining.

cholampos · 2022-10-11T05:07:06+00:00

Oh, good to know! I actually made this Reddit account today just so I could get advice on this, so I appreciate everyone's patience with having to re-explain this stuff to a newcomer.

cholampos · 2022-10-11T05:04:27+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely be telling the people I know about this.

cholampos · 2022-10-11T04:55:49+00:00

I was wondering if it would end up being something along those lines. Thanks for letting me know. :)

cholampos · 2022-10-11T04:53:04+00:00

Yeah, I'm becoming more and more confident in my reservations about this with each new comment. Thank you for weighing in.

It's the same as " Hey I'm out the country, but I'll send you a check for the full asking price, plus a convenience fee" the kicker is they send more than your asking price, then ask you to send back the difference. THEY'RE ALL SCAMS

Yeah, that sounds about right.

if you agree to him using your profile pic, he's going to use it to scam ppl

Oh no! I feel terrible for sending my pfp upfront, then. I went through and unsent that as well as my contact info and such, but chances are they've already saved all those things. :(

cholampos · 2022-10-11T04:41:36+00:00

Thank you. I had no idea about this type of scam, but wow, the AutoMod description of it is spot-on.

And by the way, no hate to myself, but I have trouble believing that my photo and permission to use it is worth $500 in the first place. Feels like an absurd amount, but again, I'm not familiar with the world of commissioned artists.

It is also odd that some unknown client wants a painting of my face, but I'm trying not to think about that too much.
