Hi James. As of right now, it is still shows to be unread. Telegram messages still shows one check

I know the in's and out's when it comes to commissioning artist, but what I don't know is what to do in situation like this. Background: October 6th, I sent 120$ for a fullbody commissioned from this artist. Because I am using boosty, any sources of refund sounds kinda impossible, unless I go to the costumer service, which I heard automatically blocks the account if you dare ask. Anyway, on November 10th, I was returning to the artist in regards to monthly update, as I often avoid weekly or biweekly updates. 9 days passed, no answer, I decided to go on FA - no answer. This artist is actively reposting on VK and twitter, but offline for telegram for a week now. As of November 26th, their telegram shows they were online recently and yet again, no answer and sent my 4th and final messages. I just don't want to be scammed. Please tell me what's the next steps or what I should do. Currently asking other artist friends.
