Recently I have been ripped off.. I did not buy a "Get Drawn!" shirt, but they did copy my art, and put it up for sale for One thousand robux.
Two people bought it.
I honestly feel really bad for those people..
And it hurt me that he was making money off my art.
Not only is it painfully annoying to those who buy these scams, but also it is for the artists.
So here are things to prevent these scams, that I think you need to post as a "sticky".
1 - Always look up the drawing before even thinking about buying. If you find the drawing in someone else's decals, do not buy.
2 - If the comments are disabled, more then likely people knew it was a scam, and were warning you.
3 - Check their decals or t-shirts to see if they have drawn anything. If they haven't, more then likely they won't.
4 - Sometimes when a drawing is copied, it will look slightly pixely and have bad quality. Always keep that in mind.
5 - Most artists have signatures. Watch for them! Sometimes they can be very small.
Follow these rules and you could very well save all of your money!
Thank you for reading! Please support to help this scam end! |

If they actually draw but, they just sold like 100 "Get drawn!" shirts, do not buy. More than likely they will forget or close it down. Happened to me before. |

Where would the sticky go?
How will it get noticed by users?
Also, support. BethanyFrye had a lot of users copying her art. Some even claim their art is "proven" theirs. |
|
|
So the suggestion is the addition of a sticky?
Where would be posted?
Or maybe it could be a notifacation? |
|
|
Probably in Roblox Talk since that is the most viewed.
Or even in the news.
Anything to get these rules noticed.. I'm sick of people getting scammed, and artists getting cheated. .-. |

Its called copyright infringement. You can sue him for stealing your artwork and claiming it as his own.

It would be great if we had mods looking for these specific things... |
|
|
Yes... There are many dedicated users that deserve to be added to staff... Even for small jobs like making sure people are aware of this.
-.- This is my happy face |

Agreed. Very good idea. Personally I haven't been scammed though. I usually do check for what you said.

Good job. Finally someone is speaking out about these scams. But you are in the wrong forum maybe? I guess this could be a suggestion, but I think it is more of an RT topic than SI. |

@Pep
I just figured that the mods would move it if it wasn't in the right place..
Which thinking about it I really don't know. D: Should I just post it in both forums to get it noticed more..? o.o;
idk. xD
But thank you for the support! <3 |

@AHERO
Well actually, it isn't copyright infringement considering that the person doesn't have copyright over it unless the person actually goes through the process to copyright it, which is unlikely. |

Wrong forum, kid.
But it is really obvious to tell.
You look in their decals.
That's all there is to it.
but this isn't a art site
there is something called dA |

Thanks , I've been scammed from this many times amd lost a lot of robux I may would have 4.5K robux if I did not fall for these scams but I have 3.5K robux and 1.7K tickets. Bethanyfrye's is not a scam. I know better from roblox scams. |
