    When: 05/24/2023
    What: YCH
    NSFW Content

    Commissioned art and YCH purchase on 5/24/2023
    This Beware does contain NSFW elements,
    All communications were handled in discord
    After some difficult communication due to a language barrier, we finally came to an understanding and payment was sent


    These are the two payments through boosty, one of these is an error as boosty charged me twice.
    Here is the YCH that was purchased along side a REF sheet slot


     
    Here is the initial communication between me and the artist, it took a while to come to an understanding but we came to agree that its two ych slots and one commission if they are able to get boosty to send me a refund for the extra $200, knowing boosty from my perspective they is no way to really get a refund unless i want to get my account banned by doing a chargeback as in their eyes it would be considered fraud from some of the other cases i have seen



    They made an announcement on their discord saying that they are burned out due to them working on furry art and would prioritise working on working on human art if some of the people in their discord would like that instead 


    So five months have passed from the initial commission DM's so i sent a DM in discord to see if they have a trello to see where i am in the queue, they apparently do have one but they keep it in private access and its supposedly in their language (even though i could work it out with a translator) in addition they state that the art would be worked on in november, After two months have passed including november which was the supposed date that the commission's was being worked on, so i sent another message to see what is going on... and no response, i waited until january to send another dm and still no response
    (image includes overlapping DM's from earlier images)
    I gave them a warning that if they continue to ghost me, i will be forced to look at my options such as posting an artist beware, after i gave them the warning they responded with this reasoning for their absence despite them streaming on twitch days prior
     

    Image includes another member of the artist's discord who also became frustrated with how long they are having to wait
    Due to the nature of this i decided to give them time to sort things out on their end and continue to wait, i waited a week as they would supposedly be working on art and sent another DM, they still did not reply, I then waited until this February to send another message and still no response

    still no message from them to as of typing this 2/26/2024
    Here is their twitch activity for this month and prior
     


     
    They seem to be working on art for themselves such as emojis for their twitch discord and personal pieces
    it even seems some some of the newer streams are missing

    Beware: PupJaxces

    When: 02/08/2023
    What: Commission
    NSFW Content

    PupJaxces/Marbleshark/Marblemephit  messaged me on the 8th of February 2023 saying they like my character and offered a discounted full body commission for $45 (I even tipped them later). I accepted and paid, then patiently waited like I normally do with commissions. After several months of going back and forth and empty promises, them making up stories to get more money from me, and me trying to accommodate them not wanting to do nsfw commissions anymore, I found out from this site that I wasn't the first person they've scammed this way. That's when I realized they never intended on completing my commission and I asked for a refund, which they denied over and over again because they claimed it had already been started (I have yet to receive a single wip.) At this point I completely gave up and decided to go through with the chargeback process, but since it was way past PayPals chargeback cutoff they were unwilling to help me, so I gave up for a while. Since then I've gotten my banks help, and they were kind enough to put the funds back into my account since a chargeback would take even longer. 
    TLDR: they have scammed me and several others on this site, do not commission them.
    I've included all our correspondence in this beware, including the artist acknowledging the payment, be warned it is nsfw in nature.
































    Beware: Holomouse

    Who: Holomouse

    When: 04/01/2021
    What: Commission
    NSFW Content

    Who: Holomouse
    Where: https://x.com/MouseHolo
    When: Apr 1st, 2021 & April 9th 2021
    What: 2 digital art commissions
     
    This has dragged on for almost 3 years due to a combination of life happenings, and the fact that I was on my way out of things I had been involved with for almost a decade, and it sat on the back of my mind for a long time because of that.
    No WIPS were ever shown to me after multiple claims that they would be done.
    Initially this was for a 2 character NSFW MLP commission, but subsequent offers were made that I accepted (regretfully). Much of the details of things are blacked out to maintain my privacy as best I can.
    My first commission inquiry was in March 2021, and I initially made contact on Discord to ask if they could provide with quotes so I could get the money to pay them with later:


    After that exchange, they provided a quote of $135 for a two fullbody character piece, and I told them that I would get back to them after my next paycheck:

    On April 1st 2021, I paid for the first commission:

    Proof of payment:

    On April 5th, Holomouse messaged me on Discord asking me for $20 and said they would pay me back in a few days. They cited personal matters stressing them out and needing some help. This is unrelated to the art I paid for, but I did end up giving them $20 as a gesture of kindness. This also started the trend of Holomouse coming to me in private begging for handouts and money, and this happened multiple times:

    On April 9th 2021, Holomouse messaged me on Discord and begged for money, but this came with the offer of another 2 character art piece at a discounted rate of $110. I accepted this offer and sent the payment to them on CashApp. Told them I would give them the commission prompt after they completed the first commission:

    Proof of 2nd payment:

    On April 16th, 2021, the first commission had no progress, but I gave them the prompt for the second commission:

    April 20th, 2021, Holomouse begged me for another $50, and I declined.

    On April 28th, 2021, I poked Holomouse on Discord to try and see if any progress was made on the commissions. They sent back with an excuse:

    May 7th 2021, Holomouse came to me and said that they would be starting work on my commissions soon, but also begged for $25 at the same time:

    The next day on May 8th, they sent me a big message with a screenshot of a note that mentioned paying me back and other personal matters that they needed to tend to:

    Another 20 days pass, and there is no progress to show. Holomouse messages me and begs for money again, and shares an image of their bank account being in the negative as an attempt to manipulate me into sending them money. I declined:

    Another week passes, and Holomouse comes to me wanting to reconfirm the details of the commissions. I told them to scrap the details of the 1st commission and that I would give them a new prompt. Also told them to take the prompt of the 2nd commission and work on that one first. I would give them details for the 2nd after the first one was completed:

    On June 17th 2021, I poked them and gave them details of the prompt for the commission idea that was scrapped. It took them another 2 weeks to respond to this message:

    Now we jump to December 27th 2021. I poke them on Discord for an update and did not get a reply for another week. Things started to get very chaotic after this point, so my attempts at keeping up with this matter become much more delayed going forward:

    On February 11th, 2022 I messaged them and asked when they would be able to start working on the commissions. I got a response, but it was another fake out:

    Another 3 months passed, and on May 26th 2022 I poked them to try and get an update. This went nowhere:

    We get to September 21st 2022 and I poked them yet again. Took them 3 days to respond, and also went nowhere:

    More time passes and this sits for months with no updates. On February 12th 2023, Holomouse sends to me and says that they will be starting soon, and also wanted me to reconfirm what I had wanted. Blacked out section was a Discord screenshot of previous exchanges between the two of us:

    I changed the prompts for the art I wanted from Holo, and gave them references so they could start working. The references and details of these prompts are blacked out to maintain my privacy:


    Several months pass after this, and after confronting them on twitter I was mad because they had taken commissions and completed them several times in the times that I was waiting for the art that I paid them to do. They had deleted Twitter posts of their offerings, and also posts of them begging for money to the public. This is a screenshot of me responding to a deleted post of them offering new commissions to their followers. Note the username that it is a reply to:

    I had already contacted their other customers and clients that Holo had completed work for, and also clients that had waited for months for Holo to do art for them. There were several others affected, but this post is about my experience with Holomouse and not theirs. Needless to say, it was a big problem.
    After confronting on Twitter, this moved to Discord in private. They try to tell me that they will be starting to work on the art soon, and I was having none of that. This all went down on September 14th 2023. At the same time, I was trying to be merciful and set up a way for them to work with me and make it easier on themselves. They could pay me back partially with some art, pay fully in art, or pay me back fully.
    In their replies they mention that they owed back $2000 to other customers...
    We set up a payment plan to pay me back $300, and Holo also took an extra step and said they would fulfill the art while paying back the money they owed me:



    The next day, I gave them a prompt for art they said they would do as repayment:

    3 days later they message and ask for a few clarifying details, and I provide those:

    September 23rd 2023, I message them asking if they will be sending the first $50 as a part of the payment plan, and I received an excuse:

    I message again after another jump in time, and get a delayed response:

    On November 16th 2023, I finally get the first $50 back:

    After this, I continue to get ghosted, and so I gave them an ultimatum after discovering from one of their other customers that they refunded them $95. The whole time I was coordinating with other clients of theirs to try and pressure them at the same time as one another, but this did not work out.
    Holomouse had already started to pay me back, and then decided to tell me that they are prioritizing other clients money before mine.
    I informed them that I would be making a beware post to this site, and they acknowledged this.

    As of now, they still owe me back $250, and they have scrubbed their Twitter account of recent examples of begging and some posts of commission offers. There are screenshots of many of these posts, but they have a fuzzy time format so they do not hold much merit.
    Holomouse has started to become active again on Twitter and has also started to stream on Twitch.
     
    I still want my money back and it will hopefully make its way back to me eventually.
    Holomouse is still likely going to continue to beg for money on Twitter, Twitch, and in private, but I hope this makes it clear how irresponsible and manipulative they are.

     





     
     

    Beware: JooJoo

    By Classic, in Artist Bewares, , 3 comments, 1,272 views
    Who: Joojoo, juicytreats
    Where: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/joojoo
    https://twitter.com/JuicyTreats

    When: 06/15/2020
    What: Commission
    NSFW Content

    On June 15 2020 I commissioned the artist joojoo on furaffinity to draw a single sketch page with 4 nsfw scenes in it and she sent told me that the commission would cost 80£ so I sent her the money. 
     
    A week later on June 21 2020 I asked her if it would be possible to add another scene in the sketch which I was willing to pay for but she suddenly sent me a message saying how each of the four scenes in this sketch page commission would cost 80£ per piece. she did not clarify this to me earlier as I thought that the whole commission was 80£.
     
    Than in another message she claimed that I didn’t pay her at all when I did in fact pay her as I have the paypal receipt to proof this and she blocked me furaffinity and she has been ignoring my messages for a refund 
     
    I tried to forgot about this as she is a popular furry artist so I felt that the odds were against me but I just couldn’t let go of this issue anymore and at the time I didn’t know that PayPal offered refunds and I was also afraid to go to them for help due to the commission being nsfw
     
    I’m attaching all the photos of the messages that the artist sent me and also proof of payment on PayPal here
     
    I would be very grateful if someone here could help me with this thank you 
     
    Note: this is my first time posting here so please let me know if made any mistakes or if I’m missing something 

     





    Beware: Catiko / evvishere

    By cyrilrubedo, in Artist Bewares, , 0 comments, 594 views
    Who: Catiko / evvishere / evvisnothere
    Where: evvisnothere on discord (aka Catiko)
    https://www.instagram.com/evvishere
    whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAsRWO1Hsq3CDg4z23R
    When: 06/02/2023
    What: Commission



    Contacted back in June after seeing them advertising in a discord server I'm in. After paying for the agreed-on commission and getting no updates for over a month, I messaged again for an update. They said they had some other commissions ahead of mine in their queue and said they don't check discord much, so gave me an Instagram and Twitter as other means of contact (could not find the twitter account when I looked for it). Two and a half months later with no communication I messaged again and got no answer. Another month and a half later I tried the Instagram, which matches the discord exactly, and was ignored. Yesterday I tried one last time on discord to ask why I was ignored on Instagram, no answer, but I did notice they had been online because their username has changed (from Catiko to evvisnothere) so they have definitely since logged in and would have seen my notification/message. As well, their Instagram profile has a link to a whatsapp channel where they post updates and work, which was updated as recently as today (at time of writing). Their Instagram profile has also been updated with a new profile picture since my message was sent, meaning they have logged in there and will have seen a notification that I messaged them there.
    I paid €30 for this commission and just got ghosted.
