Beware of LesterArts2 they are an artist around these parts and may try to scame you
Lester was an artist I tried to make a commission with a few days ago. Nothing came of it but he recently contacted me saying he suspected my account was hacked or being used by someone else and reported me and wanted to let me know. He started leading me on about how reddit sent an email which had a discord tag to contact an employee to verify my account.
Yes I know, Reddit doesn't contact you via email, but since the guy was an artist and felt genuinely apologetic for reporting me I though nothing of it. When I messaged the discord account it seemed like a bot which got me suspicious but whatever, not the first time ive seen bots being used for customer service.
But what got me even more suspicious was that the bot claimed that I had to change my Reddit accounts email to verify it, and that if I didn't I would be facing legal issues for not complying.
At this point I got freaked out, especially when it started sending legal shit about the consequences of identity fraud, and went to contact Lester and started implying he tried to scam me. As you can see in the screenshot he started tweaking out which gave away he did try to scam me. I told the bot this and it started deleting its messages with the legal shit. Anyways, it you see this account block and report their ass.
