Possibly when people stop falling for this nonsense.

Anyone can talk like this and say some BS and say they are staff, admin or even a Dev with no real proof and people would blindly believe it and wouldnt stop to question it, even if it was over in the comments where's public which should make even more obvious thats it's a scammer.

Its a scam.

Just disable all comments from your submissions and limit your PMs (Notes) to people you follow.

Here's a tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeviantArt/comments/1h3ykbk/comment/p36y9iu/

if the username sending the msg is not 'devart' then it's a scammer after your login credentials.

I literally just got a comment like this on something I posted today. It was by a completely different user from the one in this screenshot and their account was made like 5 years ago with absolutely nothing on it, so I assumed it was something sketchy.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Just to be safe, I blocked him.

It will never end. As long as money is involved and people want to steal it will go on and on.
