DO NOT COMMISSION HAUNTED-MARMALADE, AKA FLYING-SHARK-REACTIVATED, AKA ABIGAIL CAMPBELL
This person has scammed me and countless others by taking their money for commissions, disappearing for months, and then finally blocking everyone she promised commissions to and changing her URL (now haunted-marmalade but this is subject to change). I am not the only one sheâs done this to.
It started back in December of 2017 when she opened commissions under the URL flying-shark-reactivated. And she probably got a lot of people to ask for them due to her unique art style and low prices, but a red-flag that I should have seen in hindsight was the fact that she asked for money up front, and also sent through paypal as a gift through her request as seen below.Â
For anyone who doesnât know, when a commissioner asks you to send them payment as a gift to avoid fees, it also makes the payer unable to claim a refund if the commissioner decides to just run off with their money without giving the buyer anything.Â
But as an artist, I am always looking to support other artists when they open commissions and usually tip them if their art prices are low (lbr, so many artists on tumblr price their art way too low) And I thought our relationship was pretty professional, I even told her there was no rush and allowed her to take as much time as she needed due to her schoolwork. But as the months went on she stopped responding to my messages all together until she finally ended up blocking me with no word.Â
But this time I knew something was fishy, so Iâve even tried to e-mail her, and decided that hey if it was too much pressure for her to do my commission I would just ask for my money back, which is the first image you see in this post along with my note. I gave her plenty of chances to back out of a commitment she couldnât hold up to. But no response, only a cancellation, a block, and a few days later she changed her URL and opened commissions again! All without fulfilling the commissions she already promised many others months before! Any attempt to contact her with other accounts asking for our money back results in an instant block. So BE WARNED if you see her taking commissions, IT IS A SCAM!Â
Iâll show you examples of her commission sheets (old and new) and artwork down below so you know what to look out for. She draws a lot of GTA V, furry art, and a series herself and her boyfriend as fursonas named Boo and Jam.
On her new account she is already receiving anons (btw, sending a death threat anon is just as shitty for an awful thing to do so donât ever do that :I) which I am assuming is because people are VERY angry about having their money stolen, but she claims innocence and uses her age as an excuse. SHE IS 21, SHE IS AN ADULT and she is FLAT OUT STEALING FROM PEOPLE.
She says she wants to support herself with her art, but as someone who she took money from without getting any art in return, I find it hard to believe thatâs really what she wants to do. She has gotten away with stealing from so many people for so long because 20-40 dollars is a low price for a commission, and it isnât a huge loss for maybe one person but the fact that she scammed small amounts of money from a massive amount of people AND is PLANNING ON DOING IT AGAIN to a whole new wave of commissioners is what I canât stand.
DO NOT COMMISSION ABIGAIL CAMPBELL OR HAUNTED-MARMALADE! YOU WILL HAVE YOUR MONEY STOLEN FROM YOU! PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS SO OTHERS DONâT FALL VICTIM!Â
