Scammer Targeting Tumblr Artists
The title says it all really. So if nothing else, please share and reblog this post to raise awareness for those that might be caught out - both artists and followers. For a TL:DR, please look at the bottom of the post
What is happening?
Right now, there is at least one person actively impersonating multiple artists across tumblr in an effort to scam their followers into paying for fake âcheap commissionsâ. The scammer will clone a tumblr, usually using a slight change to the url/account name to look like the real deal. They will then message people directly through Tumblr with messages along the lines of âHey, iâm doing cheap commissions right now. DM me to get oneâ. Naturally, this is ends up just being a way to take their money without giving anything back in return.
Who does this affect?
Everyone. Simple as that. As long as the scammer in question works unopposed, they are free to spread their influence and continue to scam more people. Even if you havenât been targeted yet, it does not mean you are safe or immune. Several artists have already fallen victim to this scammer, and I encourage any artists that have to reblog this post with the details of their affected account(s) and the ones the scammer has set up.
How can we stop this?
Tumblr, like many other social media platforms, seems to care very little about âminorâ occurences like this one, and despite reaching out directly to them over a week ago through multiple avenues of contact - they have refused to comment on the situation, provide a recommended response for users, or take action on behalf of those already affected. Despite this, there are still tools at our disposal that we can use to make this scam more difficult, and to increase its visibility to those within Tumblr staff that are required by policy to take action. Tumblr has the following to say on the topic of impersonation: Confusion or Impersonation. Donât do things that would cause confusion between you or your blog and a person or company, like registering a deliberately confusing URL. Donât impersonate anyone. While youâre free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you canât pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch. They then provide a link to this online form that you can fill out if you suspect someoneâs identity is being confused. Unfortunately, this can only be filled out if you are the victim of impersonation. In other words, only the artists can fill this out legitimately. So, what about the followers and users of tumblr whom arenât being impersonated? Our most valuable tool in this online platform is the platform itself. It enables us to spread our word near-virally across all the many sub-communities on Tumblr with remarkable efficiency for a user-driven system. We can take advantage of that effect to increase awareness of the situation. Even if you - the one reading this right now - arenât an artist or donât know an artist, the act of reblogging this post or sharing it directly with friends improves itâs ârankingâ in popularity increasing its chances to be seen by more people. We donât need everyone on Tumblr to see the post for it to be effective, just like we donât need the entirety of the human population of the world to be immune to a disease for that disease to be rendered ineffective or eradicated. If enough people are aware, the likelihood of pulling off a successful scam increases dramatically reducing efficiency to a point that it no longer becomes profitable to continue.
Why should I care?
It disheartens me to say this, but of the many artists I contacted directly over the past week to warn about this issue many of them refused to listen or dodged the responsibility with lines like;
âIâm not being impersonated, so it doesnât affect meâ
âIâm just one person. I canât make an impactâ
âI need to take care of my community. Other people can look after theirsâ
This is honestly disappointing that so many artists or art-rebloggers care so little as to intentionally wave the responsibility of keeping their followers and fellow artists safe from this, that they cannot spare 10 seconds of their time to share an informative post. Iâm not here to bash artists, but it is time that everyone takes responsibility for their own communities, and of those around them. Artists: You have a responsibility to ensure that your followers and fans arenât being abused by someone who may impersonate you. If they succeed, your reputation will be damaged, and your followers will resent you. Your followers are also almost guaranteed to be following other artists meaning your efforts can spread beyond your own circle of influence, so donât be naive when you think you have little effect. Followers: You have just as much responsibility to be aware of those that might try to scam you or your fellow followers. Donât just sit in silence when you see something wrong: Ignoring the issue only makes it more resilient to our efforts to stop it. You are the vocal majority if you just use your voices to be heard!
TL:DR
A scammer is impersonating artists and scamming money from their followers under the guise of âcheap commissionsâ. If we ignore the issue, it will get worse. Every single person that reads this can afford to spend just 10 seconds to reblog and share this post. Those 10 seconds can save others from being scammed for hundreds of dollars. Reblog & Share
I think my followers already know my commission style, as in how I market them and how I run my business. But just in case:
I NEVER outright DM someone to get a cheap commission from me.
I NEVER discuss the terms and conditions of the commission through DM, just through email. I only discuss drawing progresses through DM. Initial contract for commissions will ALWAYS be done through email.
I ALWAYS post my signature âSaeraâs Commissionâ or â#Saeraâs Commsâ post on my blog to signify Iâm currently taking commissions. NEVER through DMs.
Lastly, please please please be aware of the URLs, check the authenticity of the post and always think logically.Â
Be safe guys! :)
All of the above my friends.
As a note: Iâm currently in the middle of con prep and wonât be taking commissions for a while nor will I ever DM you directly. Be wary of âartistsâ sending messages directly guys and be safe.
Reblogging this in case anyone somehow tries to impersonate me (lol): my commissions are currently closed as I work on projects for TCAF and Anime North. I always have my status here on my commissions page: http://om-nom-berries.tumblr.com/commissions
I also will never cold-message people for commissions. I advertise and people message me/email me. Thatâs how I always have done stuff, because I donât have time to do it the other way around lol
Same here, folks. I donât offer âcheapâ commissions, nor do I go around trying to sell them individually. I merely announce them and give a heads up to those who expressed interest in being personally told about the next reopening. Also, my commissions are currently closed.
So if this random assface impersonates me, by any chance, donât believe them!
As other artists above have already said;
Iâll NEVER send you DMâs trying to make you buy a cheap commission. I donât contact people asking them to commission me, I ALWAYS wait for the client to message me first!
Adding to the above, I NEVER have nor NEVER will send an unsolicited DM about âcheapâ commissions.
I DONâT dm the customer first, I donât DM to fish for people to get commissions and ever since I remade my commission info, I donât DM details either, itâs all in the Google form, I also donât do âcheapâ lmao
If âiâ DM you, ask for the form first and get my PayPal email from it and IF YOU DONâT ITS NOT ME
If you do somehow and it was not me, I will know and I will send you your $$$ back
Save the artists!
my ONLY art accounts are @/cryo-tea on tumblr and @/cryo.tea on instagram, and my commissions are closed atm
@the-pastel-peach add your info
Amy other artists who commission following me, you too.
I donât do commissions rn but this is definitely important.
@dailysandersidesaudoodles @prettyinaccurate @veykun @therealjacksepticeye @deadperson626 @virgil-patton-roman-and-logan @menacefh @paranoâvigilant @run-stray-wolf
Spread the message/post. This is goddamn serious.
Personally, I got scam once with one of the scammer and itâs not fun and I lost lot of money because of it. Be wary about this. Tell everyone and artist who has commission open.
$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think
Reblog for unexpected $$$ dropping into your Bank account.
Please spread the word that enrollment for health care ends Dec 15. #obamacare
This canât be reblogged too much. Even if youâre young and healthy, you still need health insurance. I was hit by a car at 25, and I didnât have health insurance because I was unemployed. I still deal with aftereffects from having not been able to afford physical therapy, and Iâm 62. Get insured.
People who like rocks see cool rocks everywhere. People who like birds see interesting birds everywhere. The tree on your yard could be an exceptional specimen. The world around you could be amazing and magical, but you arenât enough of a nerd to see it.
I gave my mum Alexandra Horowitzâs On Looking: Eleven Walks Through Expert Eyes for her birthday this year, itâs a book that revolves around this idea: the author invites 11 specialists in different things to walk around a boring city block with her one after the other so they can point out to her the things they see, that she doesnât notice. Thereâs an expert in typography talking about what the variety of fonts on urban signs can tell you about the cityâs history, an entomologist pointing out all the urban insects no one pays attention to, a geologist, a sound engineerâŚ
