I almost got scammed (G)
a week ago
A couple of days ago a person came to my asking for commissions, a very normal idea, someting cute even. The account was brand new, but I've received clients like that, so it wasn´t that suspicious at all.
First yellow flag.
When I discussed with them about the price for the commission -because of a couple of questions they were making- I noticed that they weren't paying attention to what I was saying, the examples and prices I was showing them.
Second yellow flag.
Then the person started to push me to send them my paypal.me link, or the email mine was registered. Even when I mentioned in my ToS and in the conversation that I just work through invoices now.
They kept pushing, now offering extra money for "accepting to work with them" and because they were "super excited". More than twice the original price.
Third yellow flag, and a clear red one when they pushed me to change my charge method to receive fast money.
I'm pretty sure that this person tried to send me the payment, to then get the drawing and charge back by reporting me as scam or something. That's something that put me in risk, not only of losing the money this person "was going to send me", but of being stricked/flagged as scam. Something that can also affect my Paypal account. Thankfully I didn't fell for those tricks. But the user is still in discord. I cannot mention their name, but if anyone who sells commissions wants to know them, I can tell you privately.
Take care guys, and let's be careful.
