I have had it!

Hello everyone. I don't normally post something like this and I really wish I didn't have to, but I wanna take this moment to share how really frustrated I am with this annoying matter that I'm pretty sure most of you have been putting up with as well. Lately the past weeks I have been getting constant annoying scam messages from mysterious users which is making it hard for me to leisurely browse on this website without being bothered.

Such messages from users asking to use my artwork for a special project and promising to pay me at the end which I know is a load of BS! I also have been receiving messages from users pretending to be officials from Deviantart support and asking me to verify my account through a risky suspicious link. Another kind of message which I absolutely dislike the most is links sent to me asking for my payment info and links that take me to a strange website lying to me about my work being sold and that I have to contact the buyer to receive the money.

Now I try my very best to ignore, report, and block these said messages and go on with my day, but somehow more of them just keep coming and coming from more mysterious users. I have grown up with Deviantart since the year is was very first launched and I have grown to love and respect the website, and what can I say that I am very displeased that it has become infested with dishonest users like this.

Do any of you guys as fellow users suffer from the same matter as well?
