I nearly got scammed

Posted by DedicatedGhostArt - January 30th, 2023


Always be wary of anyone online who wants to commission art from you. Someone just tried to do a digital check scam on me.


Essentially with this particular tactic, they send you more than you asked for, and then they will ask you to send the remainder back. Once you do, they have your info. Thankfully this guy told me ahead of time that he was going to send more, because he had a minimum he could send with his business account.


This is an insanely easy way to scam freelancers, because if you don't send the remainder back then you just technically stole from them. If you are an honest individual, you have to cooperate. It's so messed up. Thankfully I backed out of the deal once I saw what was happening, before he paid me.


Moral of the story is: Use Paypal or something. This guy said he couldn't use Paypal. Which is weird considering he is supposedly a business man. But yeah. Haha. I guess that is all. Just be careful, folks.
