Scree!

Kuppa is called Biscuit

Please have an icon/bio/not empty blog when you follow me. This blog is also SFW only and I only draw SFW art. If you can lurk on my blog you can make a decent profile while your here.

Hi! I’m Jess (or Key) and I’m a digital artist who has been drawing for roughly 14yrs+ now. I post art here though misc things are posted too. I call myself the local scam buster because my other hobby is tracking down pet donation scams.

Want to commission me? Check out my ko-fi! Want to find useful scam info? Check out my scam buster blog! Want to see only art posts? Check out my art blog! You can also find me on dA and Toyhouse as that’s what I use the most besides tumblr.

Messages are off due to Crypto spam bots. Please message @kyra45 for scam info and @artofshadowfoxsilver for art commission info. If I sent you an ask about sharing a scam, here’s a list of active scams.

Hi,

Someone redirected me to your post about the scammer; my side-blog got them as a new follower and they sent me this private ask. I was about to reply to after reblogging their pinned post. I don't know if this helps but feel free to use this screenshot if you need!

Have a good day!

Yep! It’s the current ask their sending out to users. I’ve already got the ask posted to @kyra45 as well, but if anyone’s wondering the screenshot above is an ask being sent by asquickaslightning. Always be careful of asks like this that request private answers! Their rarely legitimate and generally are from freshly created blogs out to make a quick buck by mass spamming a certain ask.

I have lots of people who help bring awareness to scams and often they will send asks to anyone whose shared the scam post that didn’t seem aware it was a scam yet~

Below is the ask itself in case someone searches it.

“Yo hi there!! Hoping you dont find this ask strange, weird or whatever you call it 😞 Just wanted to ask a favor if you could possibly check the post I pinned for my cat? Its on this blog, please do check if you have a spare time and reblog/boost it as we badly need help because there’s a mass on her leg and im so so worried 😭😭 Im so sorry if I did bother you, just need some help. Please do send me a msg to reply or answer the ask privately, please and have good day! 😭🙏🙏🐈”

PSA for a cat called Kuppa part 2

Just as predicted, the scammer is back under asquickaslightning using a new PayPal address but still using the same exact story as before involving a rash and changed their ask up but still mass spamming it to strangers. Below is once more the real source for the cat their using. Don’t give the scammer your money! Please give it to the real cat instead.

Part 1

I normally post these alerts to my side blog @kyra45 but since the scammer has already made $60 with this cat image I’m posting the warning here for better visibility!

The scam account is down but is back under jamhuntsman.

PSA for a cat called Kuppa

As of May 15th 2023, lightanddarkside has been removed! However I’m keeping this warning up because the scammer always comes back using the same cat image or story.

If you have seen a blazed post from a user called lightanddarkside, it is sadly a scammer! The cats name is not Kuppa and the blog does not belong to the actual person whose name is being copied and impersonated by a well known scammer who steals images and is using a made up story for shares. Someone blazed the post and unfortunately I don’t know how far this post will reach. If you want to help the real cat, please use the link below!

If you want to help me bring awareness with tumblr blaze, please blaze any of the posts below that I’ve made on my blog @kyra45 !

lightanddarkside messaged me and got banned like 20 mins later lol. i was still figuring out if they’re a scam account when suddenly - gone.

i would like to note that this one was more realistic than im used to. had an actual bio and looked like a real blog at first and even had posts from multiple different days.

what made me think it’s a bot was mostly the ask it sent me - one extremely typical of bots.

It’s always suggested to search the ask the blogs sent and see if anyone else has got it! The only reason they had posts from other days is because someone blazed the post after a while and it got attention and someone’s lost $60 from donating before the account was gone.

The best way is also to check how old the pinned post is! Usually it’s a few days old and rarely updates until the post gets attention.

I feel like it’s important to note here, though, that the image has no rash and it’s a cat that already went to the vet. That should have given away the scam since the cat has no visible injuries and looks fine aside from the cone and arm shaving~

However, @kyra45 is also always open to messages if you are unsure if a blog is a scam or not!~

I think arts funding should be infinite and easily available to everyone. I think 13 year olds who only draw anime should receive funding to buy giant sets of copic markers and shitty local punk bands should receive funding for instruments and practice spaces and performance artists should receive funding for their weird and nonsensical projects
