PSA: Bunx/honey_/Bunnyflower

Posted 3 years, 1 month ago (Edited 2 years, 11 months ago) by PeachChiips

Edit 03/28/2021: The bunx account logged in today. Idk what that inactivity was about, but be careful of them nonetheless.

Edit 03/18/2021: Last activity from now was five days ago as of now, but it doesn't hurt to remain cautious of them nonetheless. Maybe they're still active on insta or amino.

Edit 02/26/2021: They changed their instagram username. Updated it so that the link isn't broken.

Edit 02/21/2021: If anyone has found out that they made a fourth account or is planning to do so, please post about it in this thread. I'm mainly concerned because they suddenly have no character count and the last time they did that they moved accounts. So there's that.

Edit 02/18/2021: This has to go without saying but do not let them get adopts from people who blacklisted them. They are blacklisted for a reason and most of the artists state that they do not want their adopts to be under the ownership of anyone blacklisted REGARDLESS of how they get it. It is also considered harassment under toyhouse's rules to use alts or other accounts to circumvent blocks/blacklists. I don't want anyone innocent to be indirectly guilty of this, so please do not respond to them if they ask you to buy them an adopt or whatever. This is how they scam you.

Edit 02/16/2021: So bunx is trying to delete their account(s) after finding out that this forum was made. Honestly, I'm surprised that they didn't try to ask me to take this down, knowing their past behavior. But they're still refusing to take accountability, so I'm not taking this down. Now would be a good time to file a ticket if you have been scammed/harassed by them. Also, I learned that banned/closed toyhouse accounts that have characters can't be revoked (from what I understand at least) so if any designer has a character under their ownership you should also consider taking those characters back if you don't want them to collect dust. Maybe find someone else who will take better care of them.

Edit 02/14/2021: I did not do this initially since I did not want to make this look like I'm witch-hunting. That was never my intention to begin with. But I opted to put links to filing a ticket towards them instead, since they have the habit of changing their username the minute they're caught. I encourage you file a ticket if you have proof that you we're scammed by them or they tried to get you to buy adopts for them. You can also report them for attempting to sell characters that do not belong to them, as that is considered stealing. Toyhouse also doesn't allow users to use alts to interact with users that blocked/blacklisted them, so you can report them for that reason as well with proof of course. I have also edited the post so that it is much more understandable

First account (semi-inactive): Bunx

Second account (current main): honey_

Third account (inactive?): Bunnyflower

I will also add their instagram accounts, as they have also tried to get adopts through that platform as well.

Main: sakura.waaa

Alt: nove_mk

Amino accounts

Main: Luran Kew 2.0

Second Alt: Luran Kew

Third Alt: Kasey Kahne

Edit 02/13/2021: They were banned on a lot of adopts and commission aminos and toyhouse amino as of now. If you find them on any other amino involving any sort of business (via coins or paypal), report them immediately to the mods.

I will try my best to keep this short and concise. This should be a given, but please do not go out of your way to bait or harass this user. I do not condone any of the like.

I’ve had my run-in with this user who currently goes by Bunx a couple years back, but that’s irrelevant to what they’re doing now. While there is too much for me to keep track of, the basic rundown of the things that honey_ has done over their time on toyhouse is:

- scamming (promising payment then proceeding to ghost people for weeks or months, they also ask people to pay for adopts they want but never give them money to do so and instead wants the person to pay out of their own wallet instead)

- using alts to circumvent blocks/being blacklisted

- using others (mainly through amino) to get adopts from artists that have blacklisted them

- offering characters that do not belong to them

This user has many aliases, so I only used the ones from toyhouse. But on Amino, they also use luran kew/melody. I was informed that this user is still scamming others to this day, even though I reported their “honey_” account that was made to avoid blocks/blacklists. 

I got all my proof from this instagram account that's been documenting all the stuff they've done, both past and present. Feel free to comment if you have anything to add.

I was approached by them a few days ago to offer for them on 🔮 Cojns Adopt 🔮 Amino. Here's the account they use, http://aminoapps.com/p/ipra45

There was too many red flags (like having TH but want others to offer and not wanting their name mentioned), so i ended up ghosting them >< I didn't know they were known scammer at the time.

I'll upload a character gallery for the screenshot of my chat with them, if you want to add it on the PSA.

Alyssa_CAA I reported them on that amino for a bunch of shady stuff they did in the past, included proof as well. But the mods didn't do anything. Although I think now the mods might be willing to take action.

You can upload your chat with them and add it to this PSA.

Alyssa_CAA  I am the owner of Aria, they also pmed me on amino about a day after I bought her if they could buy her, will add proof of this soon

Thx to let us know

Here's my experience:

On January 8-9, 2021, Melody messaged me on amino regarding a dayiiqht character I had just recently purchased. They showed interest in buying the character and asked if I would accept a trade with a mish character. They asked me what type of mish characters I liked best and I sent some photos of designs I liked most. I informed them however, that we wouldn't be able to do the trade because there was a 14 day cooldown, and they agreed to wait. 

A few days later, I told one of my friends about this and they told me that this user was known as "Melody" and that dayiiqht had initially blacklisted them. I informed them on January 21, 2021 that we would not be able to do the trade because of this.

On February 14, 2021, I received a comment on my "EO: Dayiiqht Design" post on amino from Eivor that there was a user on instagram who placed a hold on the dayiiqht adopt and would sell Eivor the adopt as soon as they paid me the money. The username was sakura_bunx (I believed to be Melody's instagram account). However, I had never received a notification from anyone to hold the adopt nor have I been able to accept any holds/offers.

They told Eivor to pay $25 and 5k AC, which is overselling the adopt by 5k (the AB in my post for the dayiiqht adopt is only $25). I told Eivor that they were overselling the adopt. 

Issue has yet to be resolved unfortunately ;;

Finally, someone is making this.
To make it clear, I am very much aware of their scamming activities. I just play the innocent andclueless person in the DM I have with them, to get proof of what they are doing so I can warn others.
As Morritea said in the comment above me, they have been trying to sell me an adopt which does not belong to them. You can see thta situation happening in the following two screenshots: S1 - S2
I ended up declining, because my cousin (who qualifies as their "stalker", she has a ton of information on their actions) warned me of them.
They also asked me to AB an adopt for them. This adopt was made by a designer who blacklisted them. You can see this conversation here: S3 - S4 - S5 - S7 - S8 
Yet it did not stop there. They tried to sell me a free adopt from mishcloud, a designer that has blacklisted them, for actual money (I was later informed that it was a free adopt in the first place), which directly violates the creators T.O.S. This is the conversation I had with them about this adopt: S9
Next up, we have them begging me on multiple occasions to offer for them on people's adopts, in this case it was an adopt by mishcloud, who has blacklisted them. This can be seen here S10 and here S11
They then asked me if I do AC = $$ exchange. I accepted, knowing full well I would never see full payment. They asked me if I can send the coins first, which Ideclined of course and then asked if they can send half of the payment first (which is not $5, but their math isn't good anyways, I asked for $12,50). This can be seen here: S12 - S13 
I asked for full payment at once, because I knew they would never pay full if I let them pay half-half.
Yet then they send me $5 anyways. Here: S14
To this day, I have not seen the remaining $7,50. All they keep saying is this: S15 (The last sentence of mine is an inside joke, ignore it if you wish to.)
I just found out they are trying to get rid of their old Toyhouse accounts, proof here -> S16

This was my full experience with said user.

oh boy FINALLY, this post had been made.

i'm beige_avane from Coin Adopts Amino.
i was approached by bunx through a pm.
they asked me to ab a btc commission from liluchuuu, and later on, lilu told me that they were a scammer and refused to pay. i said my apologies and felt really bad.
later on, i did two commissions for them (2.5k ac each) but they failed to pay for the second one.
they gave an excuse of "oh, i already sold the character away!!" or around those lines,
which really irked me since they kept delaying the payment so much and then expected me to draw them a NEW commission for a different character.
i then said "no, you still have to pay for the second commission, even if you don't own the character anymore."
i was met with no response (ghosting lol)

anywho, i wish i could provide screenshots. unfortunately, i blocked and left the chat before they could try to do anything else.
i really do hope people would keep their distance away from such a scummy person.
