PSA - SCAMMER - IKASHIMA ( Possible resolution pag

Posted 7 years, 1 month ago (Edited 6 years, 10 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.

Affected so far:

: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://aoiku.deviantart.com/
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 was affected too. And I already did the piece since I didn't have much on my plate and it was just a bust. Still, it was USD$9 ;;

SoleilRune

It has come to my attention that there's chargeback issue today, mainly on commission for this adoptable in particular; http://toyhou.se/876652.jun---

in which i was the original designer.

I myself are the victim of the chargeback issue, and i'm sorry that this happened to you guys who already made beautiful commission of the adopt as well. ;;;;;;;;;

n-emone

add me to the list ;v; i got charged back $85 but thankfully $30 of those i did not start the commissions on

Dianxia

Oh jesus christ I was talking to this person literally yesterday and they seemed really nice, so this was definitely not something I was expecting to see at all. Oh boy. I'm glad I heard about all of this before anything got too deep, I hope everyone here can settle the issue ;;;; Hopefully with enough complaints with one user, paypal will do well with the chargeback issues ;;;

ZaneTheMonster

Same here sadly

vinny

thankfully i just barely avoided(? researching into it) it since it only happened ~3 days and only got an unauthorized account usage notification, but this kind of stuff is really awful. im really sorry to everyone affected here!! i hope you are all able to resolve this issue!

http://fav.me/db3bsix here was a deviantart journal made about this issue that helped me figure out what happened

http://fav.me/db0x5yj and here is a journal they linked to hopefully protect against chargebacks!

Pinky

yup they bought a template from me and then charged it back. damn they ... got a lot of ppl ....

ZaneTheMonster

They took 25 dollars from me and i called paypal and they couldn't do anything doesn't help this happens on the day of my friends funeral so ima gonna push for a website to protect artist from scammers

sigrdrifa

I think the worst part is, this person uses the scammed art/adopts/code. Like yikes. Its really sad to see artists get burned like this. This is why artists stop taking comms. ;__;

aoiku

I'm sad to see that so many other people were affected... I was also hit with a $40 charge for 4 separate adopts.
