    impersonation and attempted scam

    Scammer's profile link: removed
    Explanation of the trade: Impersonated as "LolNasus" on discord (an alt account) and tried to get me to do work for him, this way he'd basically just waste my time without even paying at the end
    Amount scammed: NA
    How they scammed:

    impersonating as a "new user" but really IZAD from sythe.
    This "guy" adds me and asks for a new avatar ), I said "sure, can do once i have been paid "x" amount. Then he backs out and makes up excuses like
    • I dont have paypal a paypal account, but when he talks to another gfx artist... he apparent has paypal? https://imgur.com/a/ZjeAYoN
    • I dont wanna work with someone when i don't know them very much... kept asking personal information, like kept on asking- a bit weird tbh (first customer to do such things)
    • I dont want you to work if you're tired, (i said it was late)
    • -he also said he doesnt have a sythe acc when i asked for a pm of confirmation.
    • asking for personal info: Imgur Imgur
    I have never met a "customer" who is like this guy before, wanting to know my location so badly (they do say keep your enemies closer), i got a bit suspicious after this
    then "LOLNASUS" says he doesn't have an account on sythe when I ask for a PM: Imgur

    It was almost like he wanted to waste my time and then not pay as he also wanted me to do the job first because "apparently" he has been scammed forum gfx b4 (wait... he's not on sythe and his discord is new)
    Then he said when "i search up ur name, there are reports", this is when things get more suspicious
    my searchs: Imgur

    I searched up my name multiple times on google with sythe tags, nothing really came up and he cant search on sythe without an account which he said he didnt have, the only time my name came up on google was when i typed in "Johnson plagiarism sythe", It was obviously someone who's on sythe
    it's new discord account too: Imgur
    The only people who have it in for me and know very well about my reports would be IZAD who reported me in the first place and thinks i should be banned for a much longer time... so to bring up the reports... interesting

    He also isn't friends with anyone else who does gfx which is weird because he showed me 4 examples from 3 other graphic artists but out of all of them he only added me, then he adds someone else when I give them their discord
    This LOLNASUS guy also found work from someone who doesn't really offer their services very much, he chose someone who wasn't very active in the market.
    • why would he look through so many shops and doesn't own a sythe account, usually you'd just go for the first threads.
    • claims he tried adding someone for gfx who doesnt really do gfx
    • He keeps trying to persuade me to re-create something 90% just with a different character (wants me banned for plagiarism?, only person who wants me banned is IZAD)
    asking for avatar: Imgur
    I messaged the person "LOLNASUS" also went to and she/ he then claims that the this "LOLNASUS" guy was acting the same way when "LOLNASUS" contacted her/him
    • avoiding payment beforehand
    • getting personal
    she/ he also said that "LOLNASUS" claims that "I (Johnson) was already working on the avatar"
    Imgur

    I suspect it's IZAD, IZAD clearly wants me banned for plagiarism again, why would you get someone to copy something and back away when they ask for pay and sythe confirmation, IZAD also watches my thread and probably hoped I would go first when making the avatar, probs becos of this (Imgur), what better to get competitor banned for free and also the fact IZAD harasses me on discord as well as talk SH*T about me to other ppl (IZAD's hate towards me in crazy LOL)
    If this "LOLNASUS" is new, why does he have a logo already on discord, and the discord logo uses the same font IZAD uses multiple times
    Imgur
    and this guys logo on discord is just Nasus with Text (5min task)(gfx makes u look legit?)

    Uses "tho", "haha", "topic" instead of "thread" (most distinguishing chat behavior) and just like IZAD he also uses the "underline" text feature on discord, rarely anyone even does that.

    Theres just way too many coincidences and after chatting LOLNASUS i found a pattern:
    This guys is just online as IZAD is about to get off sythe and then doesn't reply for a very very long time, the first day of me talking to LOLNASUS, i thought it was just coincidence and im getting suss for nothing then it happened again
    • IZAD last activity was 9:55 am where I lived
    • LOLNASUS started messaging me roughly at the same time then never replied back

    impersonation and attempted scam

    There is not enough proof to prove that the two users are the same people. Regardless even if it was, I don't think anything here would be against the rules. Closed.
