Edit: ToxicMutagen has deactivate their account, I hope we find more information and get this person. She will probably make another DA account or in other websites, please be careful!

Edit: If you take commissions or make adopts please do not let the users Pixlett or ToxicMutagen buy from you. They will pay after a few days, BUT they will issue a credit card chargeback on the purchase. (They "share" a Paypal name/email, so I am suspicious that it is just the same person who moved accounts)

An artist was scammed for thousands of dollars by a user named Pixlett / ToxicMutagen. Pixlett has since deactivated her account.

She has scammed more artist at this point, probably over 20 artist, including me! There has been so many journals and people suffering because of this person!

Here are some journals

Edit: I think paypal may freeze my account, for the NSFW thing. I'm calling paypal tomorrow and follow this  IF YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY PIXLETT READ BELOW[EDIT: 8-14-14] Forgive me guys as I'm getting swamped with comments about this situation. Since the original posting, we have learned that:
1) Pixlett/Toxic is a minor.
2) That if prosecuted, the parents will be held accountable, not the child.
3) At most, if convicted, she faces being marked as 'delinquent', and subsequently placed on probation unless she is tried as an adult, in which case, she would then be charged with theft/fraud, and face 3 years or more years in prison.
4) We have found who we believe to be identified as the suspect theif. From here, we should be able to file something [not sure what yet] against her/them in court.
:iconwitchpaws: and I are doing our best to dig up what we can about legal proceedings to have her delt with. Having her under 18 makes this extremely difficult to deal with legally, and also, each state has their own laws so I have to look at laws much different than my own. (which again, makes this hard)
I will update when we figure things out furt I don't think I would have luck

Guys... I've been scammed... This person... Pixlett commissioned me for 2 nsfw pictures..... The person helped me to reach my goal I was in issue with... and she/he did this to me... 

I was just trying to be polite, to contact this person so he/she could know I did not forget his/her commission...  

And this person never responded back and I see this on my paypal...

I should have listen, I should have listen to those comments, that this person pays late, or doesn't pay at all. I should have fucking listen... 

Please, please I need help, I'm scared, I don't know what to do..

What do I do in this time of situation... I need money, I'm in terrible situation... please...



<da:thumb id="475233681"/> Everyone refunded! ETSY SCAM ALERT:bademoticon: :bademoticon:  THIS IS A WARNING FOR EVERYONE WHO SELLS THEIR OWN ART OR GOODS! Although the scam took place through Etsy anyone can be a target! :bademoticon: :bademoticon: 
LATEST UPDATE:
And probably the last because there's great news! EVERYONE who got scammed is getting their money refunded! I didn't get a personal email but I checked my account and yes, it looks like I get the remaining $160 back as well INCLUDING the chargeback costs PayPal charged me.  
Although it'll take time to get over this terrible dilemma and build trust again, especially for the artists who almost lost a grand deal of money and need it badly and might still be dealing with the aftereffects, this is certainly a victory to be celebrated at the moment!
