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…

bump! i really, really hope that everyone somehow manages to get money back... ;___;

this situation is a trainwreck, especially to so many of these hard-working artists...

Bumps this because it's so important

Chuchuana

Unfortunately, I was also hit with a chargeback from them. EDIT: I'd also like to mention that the commission I received from them was on January 31st, 2017. The commission was completed February 1st, 2017, so they are definitely going back and charging back older commissions as well.

Here are the usernames I've found them to be under, as well as the respective platform: (Site - Username)

Flight Rising - Skorpio (ID # 171744)

Deviantart - meltymilks (since deactivated)

Toyhou.se - Ikishima

ChickenSmoothie - Яapscallion (ID # 396703)

So far, all of these accounts have been deleted or otherwise abandoned. I'm so sorry that so many people have been affected, and I'll be posting this information to every "arists beware" I can find.

Bump because this is very important

Koru

This happened to me as well! Thankfully for me, I did not deliver art for them yet, but this is very disconcerting to hear that it's happened to an extremely large amount of people.

Bumping this because now the user is attempting to sell their characters to users through pm (I have had this happen to me about an hour ago)

I think that what is happening is that this is a younger person. Not too young, but probably about 18. They most likely just figured out chargebacks can happen, and nobody can do anything about it.

Please, save the links or favorite these characters, because I would assume that they will wait until heat dies down and everybody forgets, and start to go back in and sell them for a profit, and it's a good idea to keep track of where these characters go!

telinks

thank you for making this post and giving us a heads up!!

docle

This happened to me earlier! I didn't know who had issued the chargeback but someone noted me about the user. :/ Luckily I didn't lose too much money unlike some other people, still super messed up though

Bump

Sainvrier I actually deleted the message when I received it ;;-;; Verzegihung, forgivness ;o; I didn't even think about it until after the fact...
