Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

Hey Guys Let Me Tell You About Advance Fee Scams

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

Something small for the Morpherine community because I love this ship sm...

1. Top left: Sweet "friend" moment before they actually got together.

2. Bottom left: Angst cuz I'm a sucker for angsty scenarios. I imagine that like the scene from the end of ep. 10 and what actually happens after they get sent through time.

3. Top right: Morph making the first move... very cautiously.

4. Bottom right: Sad boio, somebody give him a warm blanket and a boyfriend to hug!

5: Middle: Wolverine walking outside with Morph-dog! Cuz at least now the public won't give them weird looks.

To all TF2 fans out there: If you’re looking for a great co-op game with funny characters, great gameplay, a fun and welcoming community as well as developers who actually care about their game - try DRG! I promise, it is WORTH it!

And that’s coming from someone who barely ever touches new/unfamiliar games. It’s really that fun! Thanks again, @rottennuggetart! <3

Posting one of my old artwork sketches with a simple intention... Save TF2! The bot crisis has been out of hand for a long time, making the game unplayable. So come join the movement and let's save our favorite game together! https://save.tf/

Lethal Company

Collection of all my lethal company art I've made so far! Hopefully will make more in the future! These loose and very experimental paintings have really been super enjoyable to make and have pushed my style a lot!
