It's the 4th-5th time this artist has been posted here, they're pretty much known for doing stuff like this.

Hope everything gets sorted out, OP

Not gonna give up any hopes as to if it'll be resolved, but best I can do for now is try to warn others about the artist and their situation.

Tried to find the original posting. Seems like they deleted everything prior to Nov 15 and any other YCH postings as well. If that doesn't scream sus, idk what does.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. Be careful as others who have requested refunds ended up being blocked be Fen.

Sounds like I'm lucky I was able to catch my post when I did. Kept track of the relevant links to the given tweets in the Beware in a Google Drive file in case I needed that for info, including the original YCH post I mentioned. Had to look up in how to search on Twitter a few times when researching, but that helped to gather my relevant info. 

But that's a big part of the reason why I hadn't asked for a refund up to this point, even if unintentionally. I'm much more interested in having the service rendered in the first place - regardless of if I'd be happy with the end result at this point - but this situation does convey that even [relatively] waiting patiently, I'm still running into problems with them.
