There was someone called Togethertimelesslair, and I can't tell if they're another commission scam bot. The poster already deleted the comment.

Good eye, I'm going to assume their comment to you looked a little like the one in the screenshot. Definitely a scam- don't let them send you any money and don't do any art for them.

When one of the comments gets flagged or deleted before I can get a screenshot I will check the comments on their likes and reblogs. Usually you can find the same copy/paste comment sent to almost everything they've interacted with (togethertimelesslair is a perfect example of this).

Thanks for the submission and stay safe!

🚨 REPEAT OFFENDER 🚨 This scammer used the same reference photos and a similar name as this one.

Reference images, proof, and more info below the cut.

Admin note: Scammer actually gave up their email this time. I don't know if it's legitimate but it matches the name of another scam account that sense the same reference images.

Image sources: They all come from this account. This woman has her photos used for scams all the time. If she didn't have a YouTube channel with videos of her speaking I'd think she was a bot.

Hello, I found the actions of these accounts suspicious and there are two of them, but I did not find the name of the third one

Maybe others have encountered elegantmia too

Here are some screenshots

Thanks for the submission :)

You're right to have been suspicious of Helenkai12 and Lolgodgo as they're both accounts known to scam artists.

Helenkai12 and lilgodgo are both known commission scam accounts (Helenkai12 hasn't been added to the Blocklist yet). As for Elegantmia, that's a new one to me.

After looking at the profile I can confidently say Elegantmia is a scam account. I'm sorry to see that you've wasted time with them and I hope it didn't go further than the messages.

I'll be adding Elegantmia to the Blocklist in the next update. In the meantime, anyone who wants to learn more about how these scams work, how to spot them, and how to protect yourself can check out our resources page.

Thanks again for your submission, stay safe and happy arting :)

Admin Update - 10/10/25

Apologies for the lack of updates. Both J and I have been busy with irl work so APLOTI took a temporary back seat.

However, I'm almost done with all my current projects and I have a short break from commission work planned very soon. I plan on updating APLOTI and getting back to all the messages and asks in the near future.

Feel free to continue submitting your encounters and I'll get back to everyone soon.

Thanks for your support and remember to stay safe.
