rise of scam artists here

Hey y'all. I've been noticing a RISE of these scam artists' on spacehey who IM you and want you to see their art on a different platform and then get you to buy it for a high price. most of the time, these scammers "art" isn't actually their art and is AI. I'm just letting everyone be aware that if you get a friend request and then an IM about someone wanting to show u their art on a different platform, they're trying to make you buy their art. I already had two users who's done this to me, and it's unprofessional marketing and at this point it's literally harassment because they're adding like thousands of friends and IM-ing them. Sometimes, these users portray themselves being in their late teens - early twenties and that they're in college. most of the time they portray themselves as women, but they aren't. I'm just spreading the word out on the street so nobody falls into these traps.

p.s, has this been happening to anyone else? let me know in the comments.
