do we message you about it?
Hello!
8/9: New PSA added.
5/14: 2 new PSAs added.
4/8: New PSA posted and additional information on Squidribs added to relevant PSA.
It was suggested that there should perhaps be a general thread for PSAs which is a fine idea. A place that links to other PSAs and keep things organized.
You can link your threads/PSAs/etc, and I'll add them to the posts. :D
Please Note: I can only accept public PSAs. Anon PSAs are too much of a risk to accept, as they can be open to slander.
Things That Count for PSAs!
-Scams
-Illegally chargebacked (you did a commission, but person claims you never did, for instance)
-Being shifty on doing owed things (taking months on an icon for example, lack of contact or updates, etc)
-Tracing and profiting off of it...
-Etc...
Things That Don't Count!
-Someone has better art than you
-Rude behavior
-Subjective issues
-Dog ate your homework
Obviously, this is just the basic frame work. Each case is different. For instance, someone could go around harassing artists for art and customs, or for people to give up their adopts and whatnot, and that could almost certainly be considered for a PSA...
Of course, it would be great if no more PSAs occur, but in the case they do, I support people posting them because they keep the community safe and will link to them in this general thread. owo/
There'll be two posts, one for PSAs and one for resolved cases! ^^
oh actually i see you already posted about them, yeah this person has scammed quite a few times :/ would 2 beware posts on facebook work?
bump! also, not sure if anyone heard about this user's infamousy with the general art community? =\ they go by 'alphys' on toyhou.se, so i recommend being really careful...

Ikashima has been charging back a storm the past day, here's a link to a thread with a few more deets. if you're received a chargeback from them maybe check it out
Good grief at this information, I'll be updating it and replying to the past few posts in the morning, apologies for my absence from maintenance of this thread! I hope the situation with Ikashima resolves, because omg...
just another bump ! the list for Ikashima is growing huge & like it ws said, they are now trying to privately sell of their stolen adopts O:
EDIT i had some extra time this morning so here's a stash file with screen shots of all their characters & galleries, in case they try to be slick about selling these LOL
Hey, Vespisia Have you seen This Journal on DA? This issue has NOT been solved, and they also have more accounts (I believe). Here is another one, my friend was personally scammed by, and Here is Some Evidence. Also, check This account for it seems they have scanned people as well. As you can see on the original one the first scammer has a TH account here. Please be sure to add this! A lot of this has recent comments/evidence so I don't think it's been resolved! I know you must be super busy, but these scammers need to be stopped. Please take your time to reply. What matters most is the fact that this person (or these people) get brought to light!
EDIT: I reread my friend's journal, and it said they were almost scammed. That is my mistake, but they still attempted to scam my friend, therefore I believe they should have a light on them. Also found that they tried to scam other people in the first journal I linked as well.
