Hireillo - Hire an Illustratorπ¨ I've written an article about the new AI-written "make a payment to release a deposit" artist email scam. Please share and spread the word.
If you suspect a client email is a scam, even with minor red flags, forward it to Darren and let him know your concerns. He has 20 years of experience identifying scams to protect our members, so it's always better to be safe than sorry.
NEW: Be cautious of the phrase "Paid, of course" in client emails, as it is linked to a new scam. If something feels off during a conversation with a client, double-check for this phrase.
π¨ This is a scam! Our internal messaging system automatically blocks these messages, so they email artists directly instead. Please spread the word and help us keep everyone safe.
