!!Do NOT trust people asking for commissions under your art posts!!

hey guys, I just wanted to post about this because there is like... a scary amount of people who I've seen that think these bots are actual people. do NOT trust anybody in your comments saying "your art is so beautiful, do you do commissions?" or just asking for commissions in total, but it's usually along those lines. if you get them, DELETE THEIR COMMENT, REPORT THEM AS SPAM/BOT, AND BLOCK THEM! do not reply to them, do not message them, do not interact with them in any way except to report and block them. if possible, warn other artists too! I myself have been going to comment sections warning artists and telling them to report and block any bots they respond to. maybe repost this in case you have a following of people who are artists to warn them too or make your own post to warn them.

I'd also like to add that you can recognize these bots easily from their accounts. this is from what I've seen on their blogs when I go to report and block them. they reblog other people's art, and will either have a blank profile picture and banner, or will have real photos including animals and usually women, but there are cases where they will use men.

another add-on from me! these bots usually appear very very quickly, like right after you post (at least they have for me) and usually appear alone, but in some cases you can get a few more. the biggest for me so far has been three in a row. this is what made me instantly realize they were bots the second I got my first one lol

i think this talks about what happens with these bots, it's the most recent I can find relating to commission scam bots (this is where there is a discussion on what the scam bots do if you fall for them)

Donato spots it first - Tommy's been fidgeting with the just-too-short sleeves of his shirt for the past ten minutes, fingers curling into the ends of the arms, thumb sliding along the hem like maybe he could make them long enough to fully cover his wrists just by thinking really hard about it. It's stretched tight across his shoulders, the neck hole feels too high, biting into his skin, and Tommy is absolutely certain it's been hemmed in at the fucking waist, because he can barely keep the damn thing tucked into his pants.

(The cost of having those fucking magnificent gazelle legs is apparently torso space.)

"You shrink your shirt in the wash again, Kinard?"

Tommy's been begging their vendor to switch to a jersey blend for years because 100% cotton undershirts are a goddamn bitch and a half to maintain.

Tommy thinks about ignoring the question entirely. They've been razzing him for weeks about the way every single smile line in his face has been putting in overtime lately.

And then she gets a closer look at it. The merch is usually the same cross-department, but every once in a while some probie will get stuck with the task of ordering a few extras to have as backups around the station and they'll go a little too hard on customization. Like, for example, the one he'd picked off the top of his clean laundry basket without looking in his rush out the door this morning.

Lucy's eyes narrow. She reaches forward, pinches the 118 emblem blazing across the breadth of his shoulder, takes in the color and sturdiness of a shirt he definitely can't play off as being old enough to have been from his own time at the One Eighteen.

Donato grimaces so mockingly Tommy nearly warns her that her face'll get stuck like that. "Christ, Kinard, how fucking domestic are you two?"

(Three days off together after a week of getting by with random texts, their schedules nearly opposite, and when Evan had stared at his overnight bag on day two and realized he didn't have any spare undershirts he'd pouted up a storm about the fact that if he had to go back to his place it didn't make a lick of sense to turn right back around to Tommy's, so Tommy had just thrown Evan's dirty undershirt in with the rest of his own laundry. And then prompted Evan to throw all his other stuff in the wash too. Halfway across the city, Evan is definitely rolling too-long sleeves over his palm with the tips of his fingers and Tommy does not have time to think about how much he likes the idea of that )

"He doesn't even know my how I take my coffee," Tommy snipes, like that avoids the question, and across the locker room Johnson slams his locker shut with a snort.

"Because you've been using his increasingly more desperate attempts to figure it out as some weird intricate mating ritual for three months now."

"It's about --."

"--the journey, not the destination," they both interrupt, eyes rolling, and Tommy doesn't bother to try to hide the grin in his face.

"He just wants to get it right so bad."

Donato's face is unimpressed. "Ugh. Can you please stop being so smitten right in front of me? I'm gonna throw up."

Tommy leans in for the kill. "Your wife ever buy you flowers, Johnson? Because I've been trying to decide how much thought went into the arrangement he brought me on Saturday, and I figure -." He dodges the palm Johnson extends towards his face with a bark of bright laughter.
