gay episode of evangelion is both conceptually very funny and one of the most thematically fascinating tragedies of our time

[saintvoids]

Some new kind of scam? It’s giving scam but I also don’t really understand how it’s a scam?? but it’s 100% a scam yeah?

[sauron-kraut]

This is happening to multiple people, truly a new low.

PSA: This is an ongoing potential scam.

The JasmineLucas325 account, as well as several others, are suspected of belonging to a ring of sockpuppets/bot farm run by a person who is trying to make money via shady commissions.

They appear to target fic writers on both AO3 and ff.net (and potentially other sites as well) as well as d&d players, probably due to the fact that they're more likely to want to commission specific character art instead of just AI generating it themselves.

Their messages usually contain something along the lines of praising the writing, saying how they'd love to bring your characters to life and an offer to chat about that, with various socials attached. "Jasmine" in particular has been caught messaging several people, all with the same wording, only the fic title swapped out. And yes, unlike the comment bot situations we had previously, these are actual accounts, which is why we suspect there's a person somewhere behind it. All of these accounts were created recently.

As was uncovered by people investigating this situation who contacted the person behind this, the commission prices are inflated and they are suspected of generative AI use and/or art theft. There are also other red flags such as refusing to share sketches, timelapses or WIP shots - which are part of standard vetting procedure.

(Brief) Twitter thread calling out another one of these accounts and sharing DMs between the suspected scammer and a customer: Here

If you have received any messages like this, from JasmineLucas325 or other similar accounts, feel free to let me know. We're investigating several accounts and trying to find as many as we can to warn people.

Thank you and stay safe online!

[verecunda]

Yeah, I got this one yesterday as well.

[saurongorthaur9]

I've been getting bunches of these too, all so far on my FFN account. I've gotten multiple reviews (all from different accounts but formatted basically the same) but I have gotten probably 20-30 PMs through my FFN account like this. They seem to follow the formula of FirstnameLastnameNumber in most cases it seems. I was pretty sure it was some sort of scam going around but good to see it confirmed.

[helenvader]

I got one, too. It was hilarious really, because it was a comment on my VIDEOS at ao3. Yep, written well indeed. Blocked that account.

[baddybaddyadardaddy]

Signal boosting because this happened to me as well.

[defira85]

Using the name Kaylani Kin currently, but it looks like they've already been reported to AO3

[scrub456]

Yeah, I got the exact same type of comment on AO3. But, the scammer posted it on a multi-chapter collection of my drawings, with no written word story involved at all.

Be careful and cautious out there, friends. 💙

[scavengerssuccotash]

OMG I WAS JUST VENTING ABOUT THIS!!

[pawberri]

We need etsy to get bought by someone who will run it like the navy i need to only see small businesses in eastern europe weaving baskets by hand and anime yaoi keychains with original fanart

[pawberri]

Literally need someone with an serial killer level obsession with content moderation to sit at a wall of monitors sniping dropshippers. I need etsy HQ to look and sound like the nerv command center in Evangelion

[redstonedust]

crazy to me that politics and celebrity are so intertwined that we have politicians doing collabs with twitch streamers and stuff like the taylor swift endorsment being genuine factors in voter turnouts. like i get it, do whatever kind of campaigning you need to do. but also seeing clips of bernie sanders speaking next to sykunnos catboy vtuber model is causing me indescribable emotions.

[redstonedust]

do you think this is where bernie expected his life to be 20 years ago

[fnich-enthusiast]
