hi friends! something concerning has been brought up to me just today.
it looks like a fake bluesky account (@/artsyalice, now suspended) pretended to be me & reached out to at least one of the people who responded to my interest check post for April Ko-fi Run:
they tried to convince someone to pay in advance through PayPal to secure Ko-fi Run slots. real shitty behavior there.
so as a clarification and a safety reminder to everyone: i only accept slots through Ko-fi Commissions, during a specific schedule / time window that i post in advance. i only contact folks through the official accounts listed at curiousest.net, or if specified in a Ko-fi request, through email. if any payment should ever be settled through PayPal, i would usually send a PayPal invoice.
i do not give away my discord unless you are a personal friend, or to mods of zines i work on. i do not use discord to talk about commissions.
if any of you were contacted by this person or an account that looks like it, please block/report – and feel free to let me know as well so we can share the warning to everyone.
