04/07/2021 STATUS: Actively obtaining hinausa designs via Trade and reselling Full Price

=========================================================
When: 9/12/2020 (around 1-2AM in the morning is when I got the e-mail)
What: Damn, it's a scammer Issuing chargebacks towards purchased designs / commissions / and co-ownerships | Overcharging on reselling designs
Updated On: 1/15/2021 (new accounts found)

NOTE: Some of us are resolved, but this doesn't excuse how this is the 2nd or possibly 3rd time she has done this and she'll continue to actively do it. Please be careful.
Also please be aware the people affected by this is over 20+ people and the ones I have listed are just a small amount. 

==========================
==========================
My Experience With DreamySunFlower (Resolved, I've been paid back)

It was late at night when I received an e-mail about a chargeback being issued to me by PayPal. Curious on who might've sent it, I checked to see who it was by!

Thankfully, I had asked DreamySunflower to write their username in the note of the invoice when they paid, so I knew exactly what this was for.
The chargeback was for something I had sold over a month ago on August 18-19th , which was a Hinausa design sold to DreamySunflower

Though the issue of the design being returned makes this 'slightly resolved', this doesn't excuse the commissions and co-ownership Dreamy has sold to others and bought and chargebacked. Screwing over multiple others. Apparently, they have done this before last year too. The Design I sold to Dreamy costed $80 USD.

Please be weary of this user, they actively ask for hinausa designs.
If anyone else would like to come forward about this user, I shall add on to the thread. 

===============================================================

Nae Interaction with DreamySunflower (Upselling Co-Ownership)

After obtaining the design from me, Dreamy attempts to sell co-ownership with additional prices involving new art.
Dreamy attempts to sell co-ownership of $100 USD. At the time, the design only costed $80 USD + $30 USD (total of $110 USD) for a single art piece.
With that in mind, that is not half of the ownership price at all.
Nae is aware of this and points out the real value of it and Dreamy goes along with it, selling co-ownership of $50 USD.

puffie Interaction with DreamySunflower (Resolved)

In the case with Puffie's, Dreamy asks to send money that's not through paypal, but in the end picks paypal.
The Design Puffie Sold costed $104 USD.

Co-Ownership Price Bump / Scam With plantsu (Resolved)

The very same hinausa design from puffie was used again in this interaction with plantsu
Plantsu was sold co-ownership of Mika and was lied about it's actual price value.
Dreamy lied the design costed $109 USD instead of the actual value of $104 USD.

Confirmation
Lied it was $109, not $104 | Purchase Proof to Dreamy Proof 1 & Proof 2 & Proof 3Proof 4 & Proof 5 & Proof 6

=============================================================

Additional Info - Lying of her Age + Lying of her Name

On her PayPal, it's listed as "Nancy", but in another server she had joined, she claims her name is something else. I know this might not be important to some, but
this could be possible evidence of her scamming others in more ways than one. (Example: One of the servers needed her to be of age to see certain patreon rewards)

Name & Also claims she's 13 Proof | Claims she's 18 Proof 1 & Proof 2

SHE BE AN ADULT + MUCH OLDER (But this could be a lie??) 

I don't want to point fingers and say "hey, this is what's possible at this age and not", but conversations with plantsu has deemed
that Dreamy is much older than she claims to be just by the mentions of her having 2 jobs, a child, and a boyfriend that she's living with.

Proof 1 & Proof 2

=============================================================

Additional Info - Other Accounts + Current Account (DreamySunflower) Cleaned

Actually, I know their Instagram as well! We were once kinda acquaintances in a server on Discord which is called The Marketplace. Also, DreamySunflower somehow disappeared from said server (Havent heard from them in a long while) and somehow they managed to keep this scandal away from everyone in the server, no wonder they have disappeared! Also nobody in said server noticed anything wrong with their actions in the server which is based on art, trading and stuff like that.

If not added, their Instagram is: dreamy_sunflower !

(All edit dates: 4/7/2021)

Edit: Oh their Instagram has already been added, but nonetheless they still managed to hide this scandal in the server I know them from. If I remember we in the server traded with them just fine like none of this is going down...now I am concerned for those in the server that once interacted with them.

Edit 2: I never took screenshots but DreamySunflower also once mentioned that as a job, they have a job of babysitting to earn their money, further adding to that they may be older. 

Edit 3: Tried to search for them in the server, yep they are gone. 

Edit 4: I actually searched up their TH and one of their OCS is coowned with one of my friends. Should I warn said friend about them? The OC is Star and I know one of my friends is cowning said OC and when I search up their current TH that OC plus a few others is always what it gives me.

Edit 5: Going to put this out here if you haven't known already: @//Pastel1 and @//Melonbun are NOT the same people! They just co-own a lot of OCS, just to let yall know!

(Edit date: 4/8/2021)

Edit 6: I checked out MelonBuns TH and it is sort of suspicious that she has hid her entire Stats. Also checked the ownership logs, she has initially created all OCS and transfers the creation design credit to the respective creators. I don't know if this is just me, but I find this pattern very suspicious as she has done this for all her mains as of now-

.

(Edit date: 4/9/2021)

Edit 7: I talked with Pastel aka @//pastel1 about this issue sometime yesterday and she says that she is aware of this, so far the two are on good terms and Dreamy did not scam Pastel as of now but Pastel is still very cautious. I only say this because the two are known to co-own a lot of OCS. Again the two are not the same people.

.

Misc Edit: Hoshibunz sure thing! I am still in the server as of now! :)
