They are likely doing so because of how fast people catch on to them.
3/9 - L-Bug has changed their username to KonfettiPop (old users L-Bug, BuddyBugs, PuppyChews, CrayonCastels, Nintendant, LuckyMisocat, nyunyushrimp, MilkyMiso, MuddyRoach, CredeeKitty, Vampoft, VampSuger) ,,
be cautious still since they're still offering on characters
7/11 - i wanted to add this at the beginning to let new ppl know new info is in the comments section, trying to re-organize the thread seems a bit hectic for me, sorry!))
7/18 - adding to the thread rather than the comments cause I think it's important but, they've ghosted someone out of $100 as recently as this friday/saturday (15-16th) so PLEASE be cautious still

Will leave this here jic they change their user again
so i figure i should make a beware after finding out they have ghosted someone else on payment for adopts they see on the trade listing and ghosting them for about over a week with no explanation as to why they haven't sent payment other than saying they have been busy.
over a week ago they offered $50 on an adopt i had put up on the trade listings
after i accepted their offer and sent them my paypal link to pay, they never sent payment.
i waited 2 days before msging them again asking them if they were still interested since they never sent payment and they said they were !
again, they didnt send payment.
from here i'll start leaving screenshots
( link to all of them will be here ! https://imgur.com/a/UgItePd )
i saw them offering over $100 on other people's adopts while they still have not sent the payment for mine so i msg'd them again
(btw they didnt send this person the payment either and the person sold the character to someone else)
basically a very vague answer/explanation and STILL had not sent payment so i ended up putting the character back up for offers and letting them know
to which they never responded.
recently i found out they had ghosted ANOTHER person on payment so that's what made me feel i should let other's know so they can be weary of them
EDIT: someone who'd like to remain anon has sent me some screenshots of them also being ghosted on payment
this time with commission payment (there's another count of this in the comments)
screenshots for these can be found here

EDIT 2:
the person of the screenshot i posted above where nyu had
offered on an adopt while they still hadn't sent
payment for me (screenshots in the 2nd spoiler tab)
DM'd me showing they were also not sent payment
and were ghosting them even though they were online
so its safe to assume they could have been purposely ignoring them
( screenshots here https://imgur.com/a/heh5FBF

also, another case of someone being ghosted/scammed by nyunyushrimp all screenshots here can be found here
( https://imgur.com/a/k6rar8p
)
here this person got ghosted on payment on a custom tht was part
of a closed species ( mignyans ) to where they had to let one
of the mods know just in case nyu tried to get the mignyan approved anyways
even though they never sent the payment
and a person who would like to remain anon wanted to add that even after this
nyu was still actively offering on high priced designs (they offered on a design they had for sale for $110)
though a bit after they sent me this screenshot nyu has made a bulletin saying they are taking a break to better themselves
(edit: which they haven't and still continue to make the same mistakes, please just be weary when accepting their offers as they still haven't proven themselves to be trustworthy with money)
