  • Beware: (Kaniepanies/Vishmesh/Kanis)

    By forensyx (edited)

      • Who: Kaniepanies / Vishmesh / Kanis
      Where: https://ych.commishes.com/user/vishmesh/
      https://ych.commishes.com/user/kanipanies/
      https://ko-fi.com/kanis
      When: 11/30/2025
      What: Adoptable



    On November 30th 2025, I purchased an adopt from Kaniepanies on YCH.Commishes for $25.

    I paid the attached ko-fi account, to which the artist confirmed they recieved payment & then gave me the unwatermarked PNG of the adopt

    A month later, I noticed the adoptable was listed on YCH again by a user called Vishmesh, and I reported it for theft thinking someone else was stealing the adopt and trying to scam people. I messaged Kani/Kanis and infomed them with a link to the auction, to which they immediately removed me from their dms, blocked me, deleted the auction where I had won, and changed their ko-fi handle to cover their tracks. The new ko-fi handle, Kanis, shows a $25 payment on November 30th, 2025 - same day I paid for the adopt, and the only ko-fi payment I made that day. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the same person.

    As of January 8th 2025, they are going by Vishmesh on YCH.

    They will likely change their usernames again to continue this scam.
