Have you received any shady scams lately? 😬

@samanthajeffers9339 Год назад

Lady asked to me do a commission of her daughter for her birthday on Instagram. But didn’t want to tell me when her birthday was, told me she’d give me $100 after I gave her my rates. I honestly began looking through the inserts to see it was real. And it was real. It was when she asked me to give her my bank info to give me an electronic check. PayPal and Zelle isn’t save, after all.

@ArtBusinesswithNess 9 месяцев назад

It's not personal and you shouldn't take it like this! These scammers target small accounts specifically which they consider easy targets, and they use automatic messages sent by bots to target these small account and send their messages. They have likely never actually seen your art themselves with their own eyes and it's not a reflection of you, your art or your hard work. It's a morally bankrupt automated large-scale attack.

Few days ago a woman called Devon_Leah_ who's profile says she is nft designer , collector and promoter (but the profile is private and she hasn't accepted me to follow her) asked if I could sell her 3 of my drawings (she attached the photo) as nft, saying that she offers one thousand dollars each ..! Seems a lot to me..I know a few about nft so I watched some videos trying to understand the subject. Can't comprehend if it's a scam how she is going to joke on me..? But probably it is. What do you think?

@Tenshii_Artii Год назад

These things have recently started to pop up as of late. It’s no longer the “Dm to promote” spam anymore. But strangers who I have no idea of, usually with empty profiles or profiles that literally have no sense of being interested in any artistic concept would ask me for commissions. I do wish to open art commissions. But it’s gotten to the point where I ignore those stranger dms, and only take commissions from people who I know or have interacted for a while beforehand.

Thanks for your video. I was suspicious about a random message on my art account (then i don't do commission but i was maybe she liked what i do) so i asked her 30euros for a portrait because i don't consider myself as a professional artist and she offered me 300euros and i was wtfffff. Anybody who would be logic wouldn't spend 300euros for a portrait from a unprofessional artist. So yeah i see it more clearly now

@ArtBusinesswithNess 9 месяцев назад

Professional or no, you should charge more than 30 euros for a portrait. It's going to take you hours to do and drawing is a rare skill that not everyone has. When considering the hours put into it, even a high school kid working at a fast food joint would earn more than that. Why do you think you deserve less just because you're not professional yet? It's still work. The red flag here was the person offering you more than you charged. While 300 euros is NOT too much for a portrait, I don't know a single persona alive who would offer more money that what the person charges just because...

Kudos to you for making this Video! I've learned so much from this especially the Check and Money Order part as well the vague detail that Scammers give. My Family been wanting me to get back into Selling my Art and one of them wants me to try out doing NFT for Opensea, but I been kinda timid cause last Commission I did for a Client they ended up not paying for it. So yeah bad experience. I've tried doing Art on Deviantart though things was slow for me there so idk if I should try making NFT.

@ArtBusinesswithNess Год назад

Honestly, the NFT space is filled with scammers and thieves :/ It's inherently risky. Even those who are there to buy aren't really interested in art, but are looking to resell the NFTs for profit. If you are interested in NFTs that's one thing, but if you're not then don't be pressured to get in that space. There are many safer and more fun ways to make money as an artist, like freelance work, commissions, selling art products or even making RU-vid videos about your art.

I've gotten these in my inbox. I hate it because then reading them uses spoons I could use for working on projects, maintaining my home, or interacting with someone with a legitimate commission job. The hearing impaired one, I sometimes have a problem with both memory and sound processing, I hate it. Where I live we also have spotty internet service so it makes using the audio on zoom calls... iffy. My son managed his zoom classes but his teachers also got used to repeating themselves or having him "robot out" when trying to talk. So.. those are some reasons I prefer business talk in text unless I am actually in person... then they need to be comfortable a recorder and note taking. If someone wants me to schedule a zoom call I always let them know about my crappy satellite internet (guess the company) in case the audio quality is poor, the call drops, or it turns out to be a day I'm needing things repeated an aggravating amount of times. I don't bring it up though unless I suspect someone wants a (despised) video or audio call. I also try to avoid audio calls because I've had my fair share of "I never said that," or "that's not what I said," later on.

@ArtBusinesswithNess Год назад

To be certain, you an ask for a down payment in advance before you start working on the art. Don't click on anything they send you to receive the money (those can be fake). Instead, check directly on your payment app (Paypal, Venmo, etc) to see if the money is received. In doubt, ask around in art Facebook groups to make sure if it's legit!

That's easy enough: if they say NFT it's a scam! You should run and block!

Thnx for the Vids, I just got DMs from my IG 3 days ago that she wants to purchase some of my artwork she ask me to put it in NFT and she will pay me 10eth per artwork. Which is a good amount of money. Her IG is new and has no followers but showing she has a decent and glamorous life. She picked 3 artworks and she said, to let her know if my works got minted so she's ready to purchase. I'm kinda hoping it's real but after checking many scams and your videos, I'm starting to lose hope. And I don't want to pay Mint Fee if my works won't sell. She doesn't give me any website to pay for, she just waiting for me to upload it. So I'm still figuring out how she's going to scam me?

@ArtBusinesswithNess Год назад

They have multiple angles to get money, and sometimes it's not immediately apparent. They can scam with Paypal, Venmo, cheque, spoof sites, etc. Whenever it's NFTs, assume it's a scam! Stay safe out there!

@laurewinkelmans9501 Год назад

I have had these NFT-offers with empty profiles several times. Luckily I have used my discernment and always thought there was something fishy going on and sure enough most of the profiles eventually disappeared. It is still disheartening, because I want to sell my art, yet get no serious offers. It's already quite a niche career to sell stuff on Instagram and these scammers are just ruining it even more. Ps: your cat is very cute.

I got an email today, from a buyer that wants to buy 3 of my drawings/artworks for crypto money. He wants NFTs and he offerent a nice amount of money for each piece. I wonder, could this be a scam? What do I have to lose if I make NFTs and sell them?

@ArtBusinesswithNess 5 месяцев назад

When a 3rd party wants to buy your art to make NFTs, it's ALWAYS a scam. They will tell you that you need to send them a "gas fee" to mint the NFT, then they'll send you all the money. Of course, they pocket your gas fee and disappear. The only safe way to get into NFTs is to mint them yourself. You don't actually need a 3rd party person to do that. BUT be aware that NFTs is a dying market, so making NFTs is a very risky business move that will almost certainly have no return.

@sketchpreet24 11 месяцев назад

Pls help me with one question..if I have chosen polygon network and i have not paid any gas fee..then any can buy my nft or not...pls reply

@ArtBusinesswithNess 11 месяцев назад

I'm not sure what the polygon network is, but the NFT space is FILLED with scams and art theft. If you still want to go forward, proceed VERY carefully. Don't share any personal info, don't send anyone any money, don't click any links sent to you by anyone and instead, go to the website by googling the website yourself. Even so, considering the low demand for NFTs, there's a high chance this is a scam so be prepared.

@markwarren3068 3 месяца назад

On Polygon,, gas fee is paid by the buyer but opensea will take 2.5 from the sale.

@Zach98506 2 дня назад

Thank you so much for this video. It's been less than a week since I opened my Instagram art page, and I've already received three similar messages! I was thrilled to get the first one and even offered to give one of my art pieces for free, but the offer was rejected, which made me a bit suspicious. Then the other two messages arrived, confirming my doubts.

@blackbearflower4251 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for making this video. I have a VERY small instagram art account (under 350 followers) and so far I've gotten around 4 or 5 scam dms. Today I got the last two and they were so suspicious that I had to look up common scams. It's kind of cruel to be honest, because I would love to get commissions so bad, but it always turns out to be a scammer. Does anyone have any advice for getting legit commissions btw? Maybe there is a community I can join or something, idk

@ArtBusinesswithNess 10 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, these scammers often target small accounts because they figure the artists will be desperate enough for commissions to overlook red flags... But I have noticed that after my account got over 1000 followers, these scams got less and less frequent. I have several videos about personal commissions as well as freelance work with companies, so I recommend looking through my videos for topics that interest you!

@gavinreid2741 9 месяцев назад

I think they're getting desperate. On the BBC recently said 95% of NFTs are now worthless.

@ArtBusinesswithNess 9 месяцев назад

@@gavinreid2741 That's kind of insane when you think about it, 95% worthless. That hasn't happened to many industries! But from the beginning, few people could even see the point of NFTs. Once the hype is gone, you can't sustain a product that no one even sees the point of beyond trying to resell it...

@blackbearflower4251 9 месяцев назад

@@gavinreid2741 That's great news actually. Maybe once the nft industry fully collapses they won't profit from these scams anymore, or at least not enough to buy fake followers for their fake profiles. Desperation can only bring you that far, so hopefully they are going to give up soon :/

@ArtBusinesswithNess Год назад

Good catch!! If you can, the best would be to contact your bank about how to proceed. They may want to revoke it right away, or wait for their own manual check in the system to go through. You may not have to do anything but wait, but it's best to be sure!

@loati94 Год назад

I am curious as to how some of these work. I never reply to anyone complimenting my art because I think they are scammers by default. The nfts are obvious and the ones that have 5 posts with random photos. But I get confused when it's seemingly legit instagram accounts. If it weren't because some of these say the exact same things they would look legit. I got a DM from an Instagram account that looked like a professional artist saying: "Hello I love your works They are beautiful unique and exquisite Are they up for sales?" Which I knew was a scam, but I wonder if they hacked the account because it is very legit. Then I got a dm from another person with the exact same words so I confirmed it was a scam. I always know they are scams because I am a beginner and I know my artwork is not good enough to buy, nor I want to sell it because I am just learning. But I can see how some of these can fool people.

@ArtBusinesswithNess Год назад

Just complimenting your art isn't necessarily a scam, and I hop you won't grow to be suspicious of every compliment! You'll get lots of legit compliments in your comments, but these people won't follow it up with shady NFT offers or suspicious vague wording like "your work is exquisite". One day if you feel like selling your works, set it up through your website or an Etsy shop so that any potential buyers have to do the transaction on your own terms :)

@aerialpunk 10 месяцев назад

I suppose that with the overpayment scam, you could just call the bank and double check that it's actually cleared first? Honestly it sounds like this could even happen with a legitimate client, so maybe it's just best practice anyway.

@ArtBusinesswithNess 9 месяцев назад

I'm not sure if the bank would look at the cheque right away when you call them. And some of these fake cheques look very convincing, so even if you deposit it at the counter, sometimes they don't know. The only way to be sure is wait for someone at the bank to complete the transaction and get the money from the client's account. That can take several days or even up to a couple weeks, but yes it would ensure safety. I prefer not to bother with that and refuse cheques outright as a payment method. It's not 1960 anymore!

@IdeaGrazer 11 месяцев назад

You should be able to go to a teller and deal with the check immediately.

@ArtBusinesswithNess 11 месяцев назад

Nowadays a lot of them are e-checks, but even the paper checks can be faked really well. The teller might not be able to tell and it'll only be found out when the bank attempts to get the money out of that account (which does not happen at the counter)

@ccsartcrypt 3 месяца назад

I just got one. I asked them what they want me to draw, but they never told me, just told me the size they want not what to draw. I also asked them if they can pay by what I use for commissions, but they didn't answer the question. They also said they will pay $100 for each artwork and they wanted 7. They said they just wanted sketches so I quoted a price but they said they wanted to pay $100 dollars for each which is far more than my commission prices.

I just got an NFT offer from a person who looks legit and says he is an art collector (as mentioned in his bio) and wants to collect art for their upcoming exhibition. They made 4 selections from my photography account and then offered a total price of 20000$ for whole 4 pics which qualified my expectations because they are actually good. I wonder if they are a scammer because i said that I will be taking their wallet address and putting it in to reserve the buyer so essentially i wont be clicking any scammy links.

@ArtBusinesswithNess 11 месяцев назад

Thread CAREFULLY. The demand for NFTs are plummeting, and yet ALL the artists are receiving NFT offers lately. It's incredibly suspicious. You can try to proceed without clicking links, but beware if they ask you to pay a gas fee, or to send files before getting paid. Stay safe out there!
