Who: Heather/Purrdue/Adorabel (TH/DA/DA)
Submitted By: Hunibi
Link: http://hunibi.deviantart.com/journal/Beware-of-this-user-697579526
Description: User has been going around purchasing people's resells and adoptables only to end up not paying and making a variety of excuses. Occasionally they do pay some people, but it can take a long period of time that many people cannot afford. Until recently, Heather was also caught overpricing resells. For example, selling something that was 100 points for $20 instead, and making excuses when people noticed. Also appears to try to press people into selling adopts to them when people are not interested and tries to buy adopts that are up for trade. Posting this to TH due to noticing they have been rather active here.
Who: Gaylicious (TH)
Submitted By: Nadopt
Link: http://nadopt.deviantart.com/journal/BEWARE-DESIGN-THIEF-683255152
Description: The user Gaylicious has been found uploading designs made by Nadopt and claiming them as their own, when the user does not actually own any of these characters.
Who: Almond/GarbageKitten (TH/FA/DA), HoneyKing (TH/FA/DA), MidnightQueen/Alysthene (TH/FA)
Submitted By: EntropicTeacups
Link: http://toyhou.se/~forums/thread/34934.psa-about-multiple-users/1
Description: The user was gifted a Plunny (CS by Honeyking) by a former friend and purchased a Kindling spot with the help of their ex (however this was EntropicTeacups's money, the ex just sent it over). Almond and MidnightQueen eventually fell out with EntropicTeacups. EntropicTeacups later found out the Plunny they had been gifted, along with the Kindling spot they had purchased, had been illegally taken away from them and given to Almond and MidnightQueen. EntropicTeacups provided evidence to HoneyKing that the designs were rightfully and fairly theirs, but was turned down with little concern for their situation. MidnightQueen was also noted to lie about communication with EntropicTeacups over the design. This PSA is made to warn potential customers and sellers of these three's deceitful and harmful nature in the treatment of ownership of designs and respect for people and characters.
Who: KarnxJiro and OrphanageofKarn (DA)
Submitted By: Jayden
Link: http://toyhou.se/~forums/thread/33367.-psa-karnxjiro/1
Description: Once paid, the artist became extremely difficult to get a hold of, and months went by with little update or word on the commission's progress, and a string of broken promises about the completion of the artwork. Has also reportedly kept several other customers waiting, again with little communication. They are unprofessional in behavior and work ethic, it appears.
Who: Ikashima (TH) / Meltymilks (DA, deactivated)
Submitted By: Muley
Link: http://toyhou.se/~forums/thread/30989.psa-scammer-ikashima/0
Description: User has conducted a mass amount of chargebacks against artists they purchased adopts from and artists they commissioned art from. At least 20 people are affected, and the user is proving difficult to reach concerning the matter by concerned artists looking for answers and communication. Again: Chargebacked twenty people.
Update: Appears to be trying to resolve matters and provided an explanation of sorts in the linked thread.
Who: Squidribs (TH/FA/Twitter) / Iprie (DA)
Submitted By: Vespisia
Link: http://toyhou.se/~forums/thread/24144.beware-of-squidribs-th-fa-twitter-iprie-da-/1
Description: User has taken money in exchange for art that was never delivered, and has left many people hanging over a period of 2-3 years. Also lied to most of those they did get in contact with (a confrontation that had to be initiated by the customers themselves after 1-1.5+ yrs, mind) that they would finish everything, be it art or refunds, only to disappear.
4/8: Have been receiving reports that they have new victims from 2016.
Who: Vyness
Submitted By: Que
Link: https://toyhou.se/~forums/thread/24287.beware-scammer-on-forums-vyness/0
Description: Vyness sold Que a physical product, claiming they needed money for food. The seller was later found using the money, likely gained from Que, to attempt to purchase an adopt, and blocked Que to prevent contact, along with ignoring Que asking for a tracking number for the physical product in a note before the block. [11/29] Que has updated thread to show that Vyness is refusing to send payment, even challenging Que to try and regain the money, while informing Que of having multiple PP accounts. This user shows harmful behavior.
