https://artists-beware.livejournal.com/833593.html I hope this is okay to post here. I know there is a different community for art/name/character thieves, but this person is commissioning artists while they are pretending to be someone else. Who: grifsnuff Where: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/grifsnuff/ When: March 7th, 2015 Proof: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dq5fd5i3kzj1rnw/ThiefNote.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/jw76kcvvntzossb/griffsnuffnote.png?dl=0 Explain: I got a note from grifsnuff, asking for four reference sheets. At first I was pretty excited but then I checked their profile to find it (at the time) completely empty. Nothing on their description, no submissions, no favorites, and no watches. I was pretty suspicious but gave them the benefit of the doubt and noted them back asking what they would like. After that I ran a Google search on their name to see what else I could find, and that's when I saw griffsnuff's deviantart gallery. I was pretty sure then that I had run into someone pretending to be them but I waited. Then I received this note. In the note it links to these four submissions below for the reference sheets they wanted. http://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/The-glow-505502294 http://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/Abysselin-505535935 http://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/Dat-sand-497165502 http://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/Panikk-467284371 However they were all the download versions of the links so that I could not view the actual artist. So I sent a note to griffsnuff alerting them on this thief and asking if that was them. They confirmed in this note that it is not them and to report it. I have since reported this person, asking them to be banned. However I know how long it can take to get through trouble tickets and so I wanted to warn people now. I know most people are generally pretty good at looking this sort of thing up, but I know they are adding more to their profile (as of posting this, they have some info up on their profile) to make it look legit. So this is a warning to NOT do business with this person.
