***24.08.2025 - Strange watch and instant Note by this deviant: https://www.deviantart.com/emauwu05

Note:

I came across your DeviantArt profile and I really liked your work.
I’m a commission-based digital artist, and I can create all kinds of art, such as character art, anime, animation, comics, and much more.

After seeing your work, I also came up with some unique ideas that I believe could be very useful or inspiring for you.
If you’re interested, I’d love to share these ideas with you.

We can chat on Discord if you’d like. If you don’t have Discord, we can also communicate via email or Instagram.

And then they give their contact details.

Dunno what to think...Maybe @team knows how to check !!!

This goes out to @team

***HELPFUL INFO from @ScarletAmethyst-R :

just now (18.07.2025)

Something to note about the fake DA staff is that actual account or deviation notes are always sent by devart. This is what a deviation removal looks like:

And a post on Reddit about the account: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeviantArt/comments/1gefkix/i_banned_on_deviantart_nooooooo/

***IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS ! Those are Scammers messages posted here so you know how they look and KNOW NOT TO CLICK ANY of it ! Dont interact with the scammers in any way ! Mark their message as SPAM and Block them ASAP ! Eventually make a previous screenshot and show it to everyone !

* 11.07.2025 - Important NEWS: There's been a flood of scam and phishing - notes and chat-requests from accounts that refer to themselves as "DeviantArt-Bot or DeviantArt so and so" but they do NOT HAVE the Deviant - Art symbol (that "Z"-shaped symbol) NEXT to their username, they have it as their profile pic. Dont click on any of their links ! Just hit the three dots on the right and choose "Report As Spam and then Block" ! Please be careful ! And of course the usual "I want to buy your art as NFT, Can I COMMISSION you to so and so...." ; and even messages as weird as ¬ "Excuse me, can I show you something ?" Just report and block everything, my friends !

If you want us to win this scam-war: make journals highlighting the messages you received, don't copy-paste them cause you might ACCIDENTALLY click their dangerous links....PRINTSCREEN/ SCREENSHOT them and post them in your Journals/ Posts/ Status updates ! And then BLOCK the mfkers !

Later

SENT ME THIS NOTE

Hello RainyCloudWalker! Hope you're doing well!

I'm Op, Founder and Writer of Team Caesarea. Thank you so much for gifting us a Llama badge earlier! It really means a lot to know you support what we do, and we hope to continue delivering work you like to see more of!

I'm reaching out to you as a personal appeal. We're currently in the stages of developing our very first one-shot comic MIRRORS, which details the life of Daina Allens, a young farmgirl whose cheerful, innocent life is uprooted by a raging civil war, turning her into a cold, harsh beast of war. We are looking for subscribers to help back our project's proof-of-concept and thus bring this ambitious vision to Reality.

You can find our latest draft of the one-shot here: www.deviantart.com/ope1ativ3/a...

Now you might be asking: Why should I subscribe? Can't someone else do it? It's too much work anyways!

There's a very good reason you should: for just $1, you can jumpstart an entire project and be immortalized as one of the first backers of Caesarea!

That's right, for $1, we will completely deliver the MIRRORS one-shot with your name included in the credits! You can find our available subscriptions here: www.deviantart.com/ope1ativ3/s...

At Caesarea, we're not doing this just for money (though not starving is a nice perk). We believe that stories should have merit behind them, and that stories should be something people love and enjoy forever. By putting forward that $1, you are telling us that you believe our stories should be told, and that you want to see them come to life. That small gesture is enough to tell us: keep going! I love to see more!

And if $1 is still out of your reach, you can always spread the word about our project! We just need one willing backer to submit that single dollar to make this project come true. The more the merrier!

Already we're releasing plenty of sketches for the months of May and June, detailing the world of Chelderan Chronicles and the wider universe our heroine Daina Allens resides in. Go check them out and see if this is something you'd also like to support! I'll do my best to make sure you squeeze every penny out of your contribution.

www.deviantart.com/ope1ativ3/g...

I'll stop haggling you for now, but if you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to message or PM me! I'm always available to talk!

As always, thank you again for your support. It's always a pleasure to know people care about our work.

Sincerely,
Op
