I don't want my friends and fellow artists falling victim to these people! I will mostly be using an example of a scam I received on DeviantArt, but also talk about some of the ones I have received on Instagram (my other main art platform).
DISCLAIMER: I do not recommend interacting or texting back and forth with scammers like these. The only reason that I do it is to expose their methods and spread awareness so others don't fall for them.
They have no profile picture, or a picture of a random person that is stolen from someone else. These people will frequently do the bare minimum, or make no effort at all, to look "convincing" or "legit". Their profiles are often empty with few or no deviations or posts, and no bio.

SuicideSquadArchives Rant
Guys i don't like SuicideSquadArchives
because he is a lying, racist, art thief who spams requests
he ask me a request of Gaspar LeGecko from "Brandy and Mr Whiskers" doing Japanese body pillow poses (Front and back, no nsfw),one of his OCs using thier Butt image,etc
i hate his behaviour
he make me Berserk with his fetish request
don't listen to him
he says things i hate
He later revealed he is 18, but that means that he wouldn't be homeless unless he was very poor or abandoned by his family! This makes his claims of being homeless more vague and less authentic!
and he is spamming requests on other people's accounts, just don't even watch him or anything! just block him, Please!
i hate Spamming requests
i don't do Butt Request
Here is it
