Hello everyone, I am the owner of this account and my name is Lira Jones, my dA account is hatoCAFE, and my main TH to match is hatoCAFE.
Through various people, it has been brought to my attention that this account previously belonged to someone who has been outed as a scammer, and scammed many good artists out of money. I'm sorry to anyone who fell for this person's trap, I am among the people who were scammed by this person, they sold me this account (More accurately, they sold me all of their OCs on this account and then handed the username and password over "to make it easier." I repurposed this account into an adopt account after transferring the characters I purchased to myself not knowing at the time that this name was tied to someone who uses their abilities to scam other artists.
If you are skeptical, [here] is a link to proof that I was sold this account by the original owner, (and if you're just stumbling across this, [here] is a link to a callout journal if you're curious) the scammer, and it also includes some of the details of the art that I requested from them that I was scammed out of. I understand the upset, but I wish to clear the record that I am not FrenchVanilla, or whatever username they might have changed to now or in the future.
I'm leaving this account here as standing proof for anyone who may come across this drama in the future to keep the record clear. I will no longer be using this account for anything, the adopts on it will be re-posted somewhere in time I'm sure.
To summarize:
FrenchVaniIIa was the original owner of this account, and is/was a scammer. This account was then sold to me, unaware that the original artist was a scammer. The account was then utilized as an adopt account, and because of it my name was then tied to the original FrenchVaniIIa who has been reported to be a scammer.
I ask that if you see my name, hatoCAFE, being spread as a/the scammer, that you please correct it. I am just as much a victim in this as you are, if not moreso now that I am shouldering the hate and blame undue to me while the scammer runs free.
