PSA - SCAMMER - IKASHIMA ( Possible resolution pag

Posted 7 years, 1 month ago (Edited 6 years, 11 months ago) by Muley

:EDIT: Ikashima has issued an appology post on page 8, for anyone interested in seeing.


This is a post to alert you guys that there's been someone who's been "commissioning" artists, only to have charged back the payments after receiving the majority of their art.
There's no way to get back the money once the dispute goes out, as paypal will instantly refund that user "their money" even if you give receipts of your transaction.

The user in question currently is http://toyhou.se/Ikashima
:EDIT: their DA username was meltymilks, but the account has since today been deactivated.

They commissioned several artists the past two days, and all have receive chargeback to their accounts.
They had a deviantart, but that account seems to have been deactivated.
and they are not responding to pms.

Some people, like myself, have already spent the money they rceived, so now have a huge deficit in their paypal balance. Which means any commissions we do going forward, are solely going into paying off the "debt" we now owe paypal.

This is truely rude and unfair to the artists who've put in the effort to draw these pieces, AND who're now out the money.

If you have more to share on this subject, or know any other users who've done this in the past while, please share in the comments, so that everyone can be made aware of the situation.

:EDIT:  with an update to the situation.

Sooo, this is getting even worse, not only are just other artists coming forward letting us know they got scammed too, the adopt creators of the characters this person “purchased” ALSO got charged back.

The adopt artist so far that’ve gotten scammed were :

http://soleilrune.deviantart.com/

(~surprise~)
So, now there’s an unpaid and now owner-less adopt floating around, with a butt ton of unpaid for art of it.

Just…. amazing…

I have also been effected by this, do you have screenshots of what email they used for paypal or anything? I have too many transactions to check through everyone for a chargeback!

Fawnd Hi! Could you please provide what you can here; https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rHRNWF81U7ivIQcSwQ3y9A52hRArhwqooYkJWd-UHRc/edit?usp=sharing
I was working with Ika on getting a full list of who they need to payback.
I'd like to apologize for lack of updates, between everything that's been going on (listed on the previous page comments) and with new things happening I nearly forgot all about this. Again, I am so sorry about this lapse in memory and everything. 
I'll be reaching out to Ika on Discord soon to see how they are doing on paybacks.

@thementosrabbit

I had nearly forgotten about this until TH notified me of your comment!
Sadly, it seems like Ika has vanished. They don't respond to anything on Discord and their new DA account hasn't been logged into in weeks. They've also abandoned their ChickenSmoothie account as well :\

n-emone

ahh that is disappointing to hear;; thank you for trying your best to try to work with both them and the artists though!!

TheQueenNae

Figured I'd update as I've found Ika's new accounts.
How I found them; We are still on each others friends lists on ChickenSmoothie and they recently have been posting. Found a post requesting artwork of one of their characters. Searched the character on DA, found their account.
