User blog:Commission Scams

If you are an artist, commission scams are common. They aren’t like every other scam, which is why I am making this page. I know it has nothing to do with worth, but seriously, if you are an artist or rarely make commissions, remember these scams.

The “I’ll pay after” scam.

Always ask them to pay at least one MP token first. If you make them pay all of the price first, they will call you a “Scammer” and one time, someone said they hated my art, that they just wanted. (NOTICE: if someone doesn’t like your art, it’s ok! Most people and above all you like it!) Anyways, When I was a new jammer, this person said that they would pay after, and that they would want their pet on a different MP. I agreed, trying to be nice. I proceeded to buy 2 MP tokens using all my sapphires. I made the 2 MPs and when I got them to her, she said “Wow! I’ll pay 4 tokens each!” And then left. This scam does not give the scammer anything but wastes your sapphires and time. Report Createyourusername26 for doing this scam.

The “I’ll decide when I see it” scam

This scam is similar to the “I’ll pay after” scam. As an artist, I don’t say a certain price. I just say offer, and I’ll do details, background, user, and logo for [insert good item on their trd list] Anyways, recently I found someone who wanted my art. They said they would decide what they would pay after. (NOTICE: they were a new jammer. They said they had another rare account so I told them to get on it. The other account proceeded to come to my den and I later found out that was their buddy.) Anyways, I said ok and made the MP with a token I had just bought. The next day I realized that that could not have been their account, unless they had 2 devices, because, they were on when the rare account came to my den, plus, I had seen them jamagram someone. The next day it approved and they said “hmm, let me get on my other account.” While they did that, they proceeded to unbuddy me and report for swearing. (My chat was banned a day after). Do not do this unless you have solid proof of them having the offer. (NOTICE: when I do the offer thing, and they offer just clothes, I ask them to trd just one MP token. They usually agree)
