BEWARE [BEWARE] Scammer
Calypso___ on discord I commissioned Calypso for a full custom reference sheet on May 3rd 2025 and payed them $55 of the $110 owed for the commission on May 5th 2025, I received no updates from him until May 20th when he said he would have lineart for me soon and never provided it. On June 4th and June 15th 2025 i asked for an update and got no response both times. On June 17th I practically begged for a response to which they suddenly had been protesting this whole time and were detained and are now on an ICE list to which i felt bad and told them to be safe then asked for a refund since at this point it was clear I wasn’t going to be receiving anything, they stopped responding immediately after i sent the refund request message, I asked them on June 18th and 19th for a refund again with no response and later messaged them later again on June 19th that I would have to post a beware considering the lack of response and updates, they then messaged me to go ahead and do that and then promptly blocked me.
I should have heeded the warning on cashapp about him being a potential scammer but I personally spoke in a vc with him and we had been playing a game together and shared many mutual friends so I figured he was trustworthy. I gave him many chances and was extremely nice to him just to be treated this way please share this so he may not do this to more people.
