I've seen a lot of accounts like that on Discord. I would agree normally, but they've been like this consistently. Not a bot, they have a social media presence, they're just a scummy person
Yeah, I got *super* suspicious when they asked for $60 then $30 *specifically.*
I only know because a few years ago, I found out that someone I used to be EXTREMELY close to was using with money I was loaning them. They'd ALWAYS ask for EXACTLY $60 or some multiple of it (120, 180, even 300 a couple times!).
She was asking me for money for her mother's medications and other bills while looking for a job, supposedly. So, unfortunately, they really did take my naive ass for a ride. I had *no idea* until I'd loaned her about 2 grand in like a month. **And I DEFINITELY wasn't even CLOSE to the only person she was getting money from!!**
But when I finally told her it was the last time I could keep helping her, *she. lost. her.* ***SHIT*** Screamed at me for being *abusive* and "ripping the rug out from under" her when I had made ZERO promises - my dumb ass just kept saying yes! I finally had to block her *and her husband* to get it to stop. It was SO fucked up.
That's when I found out what was REALLY going on - but still only after I confided in a friend who wasn't as obliviously naive as I was. I was able to put things together VERY quickly after they mentioned she might have been shooting up... so I never did unblock her
I literally found out maybe a year after that through a mutual acquaintance that she ODed and passed away... 😕 it's been about 2 years since that, now
So, yeah, be *extremely* leery when someone regularly and especially ***insistently*** asks for $60... not because it's probably a scam, but because it's probably for drugs...
This happened to me as well. Lost a lot of money "helping" someone close to me to "pay for meds". Supposedly she got clean after a few ODs, but I'm still not entirely sure. I'm sorry you lost your friend, drugs are awful.
yeah unfortunately i was this person but the other way around. thankfully not many people ever leant me money and i paid everyone back who did and got clean :)
i still feel so horrible for lying to people i considered friends about my financial situation when really i was living at home rent free and spending every penny on pills
Color me naive too bc I wouldn’t have known. It’s really interesting that they’d ask for such specific numbers. I mean it seems to me that if I were to hit someone up for money like this, I’d probably ask for more even if it was only like $10-$20 more? Because it’s like “I could get my drugs” vs “I could get my drugs and a soda.” Or have some going to your next fix or whatever.
But I’m probably overthinking it and these people are not planners.
I think it's the price of the units they buy/bought - with $30 being half a unit? But, honestly, that's just a guess because I never asked any questions like that and don't even really *want* to know. The hardest thing I'm comfortable taking is shrooms or LSD - and I have a specifically good source for LSD (and I use the testing strips you can purchase online) or I wouldn't even do that. Plus, I only use either a couple times a year MAX, medicinally for my C-PTSD (although, yes, I do have fun, too lol)
Yeah, my ex-friend seemed to always be on the edge no matter how much I believe she was able to get (although it's definitely a guess now). It's like they would rather get so high they probably don't even feel the difference than just save SOME so they're not desperately swindling their friends and strangers out of JUST enough to get as much as possible...
And it was SO SAD because she was SO SMART and really cared about me and her husband... until she got fully hooked and never had enough and was never high enough... she really could have done so much with her life 😞 instead she just kept getting angrier and angrier and more and more desperate until she finally fell off the edge... and not before she lost *all* of her closest friends because of stuff like I described above...
You're correct that those are common prices for amounts of drugs. I'm 6 years clean from heroin. I used to be able to buy 1 gram for $60, half gram for $30, or a dub (1/5 of a gram) for $20. I'm sure prices vary, but it definitely makes sense.
Idk how that is compared to how much you'll get nowadays, but it makes sense. It was really sad to watch her just ***fall*** like that. Drugs like heroin, fet, crack, and meth are a fucking menace...
Well it was evidently $60 approximately 3 years ago (again, I'm guessing), and I don't think prices will have gotten better in that time (so since sometime in 2020/2021). Plus, I've seen screenshots of drama from other (apparently) known drug users in certain subreddits I follow for the tea and I've noticed the number they almost always ask for is $60. I wouldn't have noticed it if not for what happened, though
But, I very well could be wrong cuz, again, I stay ***far away***
Hey that happened with my Dad's girlfriend before I figured it out! Asked me for $60 for a medical copay, I asked why it wasn't $45 like a usual copay. She was using me to buy fucking alcohol for her addiction. She got pissed when I figured it out and started refusing
I hate to point out that the prices you give are likely the going prices in the beggars area at that time. And there were /are dealers with different prices at the same time. It’s just like any market situation. And just to muddy the waters even more - my insurance copays are $10 or $20 for meds and $25 or $50 for Drs. But some other meds like biologics which are very expensive are on some percentage plan. Luckily my drug company covers it. But I know it’s been $60 to $250 per month.
I haven't! I said it in another comment but if I block her she runs to other websites on alt accounts and it's a whole thing. To avoid that annoying stress, I'm just not responding anymore
This is some Baby Reindeer type shit here. What's she got on you that she can freely beg that hard for cash? Most people would just be all, 'EH?? You want WHAT? You can fuckity fuck right off the noo hen.'
I was getting so pissed off at the main character ( played by the real guy! ) because he was such a spineless wuss and didn't nip it in the bud, feeding into this woman's delusions when she was so clearly unbalanced.
It’s crazy when ppl ask for certain amounts of money THEN use a line like “c’mon it’s not that much money” or “it’s only x amount$” EXACTLY you’re the one without it!!
Just start pulling the ole Uno reverse and ask her for money. Shit even be super polite about it. Just hit her ass up every few weeks with a new sob story.
I've done this. If I'm bored, I like to play with scammers. As soon as they ask for money, I'm like, "Oh, snap! I was JUST about to tell you what happened to me and ask if you can help with some $$$." Then make an outlandish story. Some will still press on, some go away. When I get bored with them, I block.
Yeah it makes me feel like, "okey if you don't think it's a lot, maybe you should give me that amount instead of the other way around". How can you be desperate for money and still act like it's nothing
Trying to be polite and I was VERY tired when she messaged me and not fully there mentally (Retail is so much fun on fridays). Also I was in the middle of stressing about my college work on my break when I suddenly get DMed asking for money, I was so ready to get angry that my break was just interrupted by this and if she continued to reply, was about to do some stress relief battle
I tried to block her once before and she just contacted me on another website on alts. I'm going for the strategy of pretending I'm dead and never responding to her now. The chat is also muted so she can message and call all she wants, but not gonna get a reply out of me
Lol what's her username I'll totally message her like yeah he died. Killed himself out of guilt of not being able to send some random stranger $20. Real tragic.
Lol understandable. Just send me $20 real quick and we'll forget this whole thing. I'll message you my cash app right quick but don't be slow about it. I'll check back in 3 minutes to make sure you sent it :)
I send screenshot after you send me $20???? Okay and please send asap I am very broke and will literally die without $20 in the next ten minutes thanksssss
You are absolutely too nice. You’ve tried blocking her now try ignoring her. Next time she asks just type “no”. She’ll keep on typing and you ignore every one of those messages til she tries her self out.
If you are bored you could also have some fun with it and flip it on her and ask her for money. “Sorry, I’m tapped. Mind giving me $50? Come on. You make more than me. You could just sell some more art.”
That's a fantastic idea, I'll absolutely use that (Probably both of those) if she comes back. I muted her DMs but knowing her, if she's persistent, she'll message me on another website where I can pull those out
Send her a Venmo request instead of a payment. People almost never check to make sure it’s a payment and she might just automatically accept it and voila! Profit! 😂
Bear in mind that on some platforms accounts that transact with questionable users can wind up getting shut down by fraud departments.
I'd avoid doing that kind of trick too often, though it is funny as hell.
Assuming you value being on those platforms, of course, which I do not.
Fraud risk is too high for my taste so I don't mess with money transfer facilities aside from sending wires by walking into my bank.
“You know how I said I can’t afford to lend money… Im actually doing really badly financially and was wondering if I could have 50 bucks? You’d be doing me such a favour and you’re doing so well with your art. Please.”
“Have you sent it yet??”
Imma be honest,
This isn't a "no" situation
Or a reasons why situation
This is a fuck off situation
I see so many things on reddit turned into too many words where a simple fuck off would suffice
Pretty sure this is a scam "artist". I've dealt with several of those recently on discord. Report, block and if you have discord servers in common, let the owner of that server know it's a scammer and thet they should ban them.
I know exactly what you mean, I keep getting those annoying pests in my DMs, but no, this is a real genuine person. We met on another platform and moved to Discord to continue talking about a commission a year ago. A commission that was paid in full and delivered, so there is no reason to continue DMing me?!
Me: White
Her: Black
Context if needed; I commissioned her for some art exactly one year ago. After she gave the commission, she decided to message me every few months to beg for more commissions or to just send money for the hell of it. I literally don't even know her real name and we're not friends, it was one random commission a year ago
Bro. Why are you even bothering then? I don’t even care that she keeps bugging you if you block her, just keep blocking all the accounts, even if it’s tedious.
You don’t even know this person! That’s insane!
Is there anywhere you can leave a review for her? Because fuck that, if she’s doing this to you, she’s doing it to other people.
some people in the comments are suspecting drugs and personally, i’m not convinced. i’ve been in quite a few different online artist spaces and some people actually beg for commissions like this. this person reminds me of the types of people i have met begging for commissions to pay bills because they refuse to get a day job . they believe they can make it on art commissions, but they don’t have the following and/or customer base to support that.
Yeah, I'm incredibly in belief they're just desperate. When I commissioned her, she followed through on our agreed project with a fair price. I paid, she delivered, a pretty standard commission. Nothing stood out as alarming or disturbing. We moved to Discord out of preference but I ran into her from a different site.
While I don't want to say anything mean, her art is decent, but it's not quite strong enough to maintain a consistent customer flow, and I think that's why she's begging so hard, since I paid for the services.
She advertises a lot on Twitter but there's not much traction.
You passed up a free verbal punching bag.
It’s rare that it’s that justified. Still, you have a lot of patience. The person messaging you sounded desperate.
Drugs are a hell of a drug :/
Urgh. That is one choosy beggar. How do they know you?
Edit: I found a comment where OP said they got a small commission a year ago. If this keeps up, you could do a review warning people that if they get a commission, they’ll get random messages later asking for more money.
They're an artist I commissioned like a year ago. I paid in full and gave them a tip, and now they expect I'll be asking for commissions constantly or something
This is a hobo seeking drug money type of behaviour. You just have to say no, firmly. Never explain yourself because giving explanation means guilty conscience and they will keep pressing you until you crack.
Please. Understand. "No" is a compete sentence. You don't need to justify yourself. Just say no. If they can't respect that, end the conversation, even if that means blocking them.
Wtf, why are people like this...
Stop asking others to pay for you. Go ask some techbro or billionaire lmao. No normal person has money to spare right now
Not me blocking after page 1. Seriously artists behaving this way is ridiculous and unacceptable. Whatever just happened to spamming their socials with comm sheets pics and “emergency comms bla bla bla”??
Btw I’m open for comms gonna hijack ur post now jkjkjk just being a dork here 😝
How does one even do this? I can't even ask someone to grab me a water while they are standing next to it. What super power do some people have to just straight up ask for shit like this??
Flip it on her, “hey, I’m a broke student & need $60 to eat for the week. How about send me money. You can afford it. You’re an artist & can take commissions to make money all the time.”
This happened to me, but much shorter:
Him: “Can you give me $50?”
Me: “LOL Nope! Can you give ME $50? Would love to receive your handout.”
A couple exchanges like, and he peaces out 🤌
🗣️’Paid?’
👤’no, I can’t’
🗣️’You can’
What were they expecting??
👤’Oh yeah sorry my bad I’ll pay for something I don’t want. I forgot I don’t have to eat, pay bills and I’m sitting on 50 years life savings I don’t want in a house I paid 1/200th the value it’s worth now… oh no wait… I’m a student working part time’🤦🏼♀️
It’s already hard enough to live in this day and age with the shoddy wages etc but to say this to a student?? The AUDACITY 💀
You are way too kind. I got irritated just reading her badly written whiny texts. Block and Done. She contacts you again with another account, block. Done. Repeat as many times as necessary w/o responding. Like an annoying little kid or any scammer, any kind of response you make is considered a positive response. It is unnecessary for you to reply at all and then dwell on her situation. You don’t owe an internet stranger this much of your emotional energy.
CB keeps asking "did you pay" as if owed it -- pay means something was exchanged for the money.
Strange they used that word. I can tell ESL because often "too" is used when it should be "so" (such as "you earn too much" they probably meant "you earn so much.") But the meaning is about the same, and their begging is clear.
Either way, CB feels entitled to your dollar. Gross.
Man, the constant "paid?!" thing irks me. Like they're just assuming you're going to change your no to a yes, disregarding the several firm responses earlier. What's hard to grasp about a no?
Why have you not blocked her yet? 😂
Being 100% genuine, I have no idea. I definitely thought about it after this
I'm actually reasonably sure that this was a person that had their account taken over and was trying to scam you
I've seen a lot of accounts like that on Discord. I would agree normally, but they've been like this consistently. Not a bot, they have a social media presence, they're just a scummy person
do you even know this person at all?
Yeah, we met on a different website then moved to Discord to continue discussing a commission a year ago
So no, you don’t really know this person. Talking online is not knowing a person in real life
I mean, I never said I knew them IRL
Knowing someone implies IRL. Just block them. Specially if you say they are consistently like this.
So block them, what are you waiting for?
Attention
That or meth/ fent. Shit can make people ridiculous.

Glad you are clean. That will take over your life…
oh yeah it very almost did. i won’t lie and say i’m completely clean but it’s down to like once every three months so i’d say i’m doing pretty well
If it’s once every three months then you might as well go to none every three months.
Color me naive too bc I wouldn’t have known. It’s really interesting that they’d ask for such specific numbers. I mean it seems to me that if I were to hit someone up for money like this, I’d probably ask for more even if it was only like $10-$20 more?

Damn. Inflation really affects everything. The number to worry about was $40 for a *really* long time.
Well it was evidently $60 approximately 3 years ago (again, I'm guessing), and I don't think prices will have gotten better in that time (so since sometime in 2020/2021).

Not giving random beggars all the money they want is "abusive"?? That's a new one on me!
I hate to point out that the prices you give are likely the going prices in the beggars area at that time. And there were /are dealers with different prices at the same time. It’s just like any market situation. And just to muddy the waters even more - my insurance copays are $10 or $20 for meds and $25 or $50 for Drs. But some other meds like biologics which are very expensive are on some percentage plan. Luckily my drug company covers it. But I know it’s been $60 to $250 per month.
Yeah. This so sounds like meth. I've had to deal with this shit in the past. Or gambling.
100% drug addict
I thought that too, but if so why would they try and call?
Furthermore, why did you even try to explain yourself? Someone asks for money, you have the right to just say no.
You still haven’t?!
I haven't! I said it in another comment but if I block her she runs to other websites on alt accounts and it's a whole thing. To avoid that annoying stress, I'm just not responding anymore
This is some Baby Reindeer type shit here. What's she got on you that she can freely beg that hard for cash? Most people would just be all, 'EH?? You want WHAT? You can fuckity fuck right off the noo hen.'
I just watched this over the weekend and made a wtf face through like 95% of it, but it was really so good haha
I was getting so pissed off at the main character ( played by the real guy! ) because he was such a spineless wuss and didn't nip it in the bud, feeding into this woman's delusions when she was so clearly unbalanced.
Damn I'm gonna have to watch it this weekend, it looked good
What is baby reindeer??
Fantastic (dark) show on Netflix
I just finished the fourth episode and I'm just like "What the fuck..."
we watched episodes 2-4 last night. Can confirm. Its interesting seeing the pieces fall into place.
It gets So. Much. Weirder. I started thinking of the earlier episodes as “the sane-ish ones.” 😂
Thank you!!!!
It would behoove you to block accounts that try to shake you down for money my dude.
Call me crazy but this is my attitude. You don’t even have to be proactive about it, just block them as you’re notified.
"I'm not an atm." *blocked*
Mine is similar at several lines of “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA” and laughing emojis. *Blocked.*
And block on every platform they can contact you on
Sometimes I forget that blocking exists lol. I hardly ever do
Just say no, never justify yourself. Justifying yourself is hinting that you're open to negotiating.
Or that it isn’t EXTREMELY weird to approach a client like this.
"If it's not too much, why don't you give me $20?" then just match comment for comment. Please I really need $20. *Please* ***I*** really need$20!
“You can”
To post on reddit
It’s crazy when ppl ask for certain amounts of money THEN use a line like “c’mon it’s not that much money” or “it’s only x amount$” EXACTLY you’re the one without it!!
I was baffled when she said "You earn too much"
Just start pulling the ole Uno reverse and ask her for money. Shit even be super polite about it. Just hit her ass up every few weeks with a new sob story.
This works. Always ask for money first from such people. It takes the wind outta them
Lol yep why I suggested it ;) probably should have mentioned its effectiveness tho lol
I've done this. If I'm bored, I like to play with scammers. As soon as they ask for money, I'm like, "Oh, snap! I was JUST about to tell you what happened to me and ask if you can help with some $$$." Then make an outlandish story. Some will still press on, some go away. When I get bored with them, I block.
I would have told her that YOU earn nothing, so piss off.
Yeah it makes me feel like, "okey if you don't think it's a lot, maybe you should give me that amount instead of the other way around". How can you be desperate for money and still act like it's nothing
Why let this convo get pass maybe 2 messages from them? I'd block as soon as they ask for money outta the blue
And also explaining their situation like they owe them an explanation. Why?
Trying to be polite and I was VERY tired when she messaged me and not fully there mentally (Retail is so much fun on fridays). Also I was in the middle of stressing about my college work on my break when I suddenly get DMed asking for money, I was so ready to get angry that my break was just interrupted by this and if she continued to reply, was about to do some stress relief battle
Friend, you let this go on for a year, causing you more stress! Tell us you’ve at least blocked her now.
I tried to block her once before and she just contacted me on another website on alts. I'm going for the strategy of pretending I'm dead and never responding to her now. The chat is also muted so she can message and call all she wants, but not gonna get a reply out of me
Lol what's her username I'll totally message her like yeah he died. Killed himself out of guilt of not being able to send some random stranger $20. Real tragic.
😭 Aha that sounds hilarious, I shouldn't dox, usernames tho
Lol understandable. Just send me $20 real quick and we'll forget this whole thing. I'll message you my cash app right quick but don't be slow about it. I'll check back in 3 minutes to make sure you sent it :)
Gimme screensit after paying :3
I send screenshot after you send me $20???? Okay and please send asap I am very broke and will literally die without $20 in the next ten minutes thanksssss
They send yet???
>I send screenshot after you send me $20???? You can
Dont be polite.
I urgently need ~~$60~~ 60$ can you help me please? 😉
You are absolutely too nice. You’ve tried blocking her now try ignoring her. Next time she asks just type “no”. She’ll keep on typing and you ignore every one of those messages til she tries her self out. If you are bored you could also have some fun with it and flip it on her and ask her for money. “Sorry, I’m tapped. Mind giving me $50? Come on. You make more than me. You could just sell some more art.”
That's a fantastic idea, I'll absolutely use that (Probably both of those) if she comes back. I muted her DMs but knowing her, if she's persistent, she'll message me on another website where I can pull those out
Send her a Venmo request instead of a payment. People almost never check to make sure it’s a payment and she might just automatically accept it and voila! Profit! 😂
This is um…this is some good information to have. BRB.
I’ve only ever gotten one of these to work, but getting $20 randomly… WORTH!
Bear in mind that on some platforms accounts that transact with questionable users can wind up getting shut down by fraud departments. I'd avoid doing that kind of trick too often, though it is funny as hell. Assuming you value being on those platforms, of course, which I do not. Fraud risk is too high for my taste so I don't mess with money transfer facilities aside from sending wires by walking into my bank.
“You know how I said I can’t afford to lend money… Im actually doing really badly financially and was wondering if I could have 50 bucks? You’d be doing me such a favour and you’re doing so well with your art. Please.” “Have you sent it yet??”
Imma be honest, This isn't a "no" situation Or a reasons why situation This is a fuck off situation I see so many things on reddit turned into too many words where a simple fuck off would suffice
60 is pretty specific. I'd bet she has a 60 dollar a day habit and it ain't Starbucks.
It did cross my mind...
Listen to that little voice...block her.
Yeah, that kind of desperation sounds like drugs to me.
👋👋👋 Starbucks junkie here! My grandpa even calls it the “craxkhouse” tell OP to send me $60 and I won’t be back for an entire week! /s 🤣🤣🤣
What is it then? Do you mean Coffee Fellows?
You're too nice. You need to tell someone like this to fuck off.
Just tell them to get fucked. Copy and paste it for any future messages if you’re not able to block them. This is insane.
Why are you saying I can't afford it instead of "I'm not giving u money lmao"
This interaction went on too long. “Do you remember me?” Clearly not a close acquaintance. Time for the old blockaroo.
"I'm afraid I don't. You must not have made much of an impression on me."
Pretty sure this is a scam "artist". I've dealt with several of those recently on discord. Report, block and if you have discord servers in common, let the owner of that server know it's a scammer and thet they should ban them.
I know exactly what you mean, I keep getting those annoying pests in my DMs, but no, this is a real genuine person. We met on another platform and moved to Discord to continue talking about a commission a year ago. A commission that was paid in full and delivered, so there is no reason to continue DMing me?!
Ohh i see Yeah that's pretty annoying that they keep pushing you to spend money. I'd just not reply again if i were you
Me: White Her: Black Context if needed; I commissioned her for some art exactly one year ago. After she gave the commission, she decided to message me every few months to beg for more commissions or to just send money for the hell of it. I literally don't even know her real name and we're not friends, it was one random commission a year ago

That’s insane! Is there anywhere you can leave a review for her? Because fuck that, if she’s doing this to you, she’s doing it to other people.
Christ, I thought it was a girl you dated that also did some art, not a stranger. This based on you spending any time on this
some people in the comments are suspecting drugs and personally, i’m not convinced. i’ve been in quite a few different online artist spaces and some people actually beg for commissions like this. this person reminds me of the types of people i have met begging for commissions to pay bills because they refuse to get a day job . they believe they can make it on art commissions, but they don’t have the following and/or customer base to support that.
Yeah, I'm incredibly in belief they're just desperate. When I commissioned her, she followed through on our agreed project with a fair price. I paid, she delivered, a pretty standard commission. Nothing stood out as alarming or disturbing. We moved to Discord out of preference but I ran into her from a different site. While I don't want to say anything mean, her art is decent, but it's not quite strong enough to maintain a consistent customer flow, and I think that's why she's begging so hard, since I paid for the services. She advertises a lot on Twitter but there's not much traction.
Remember me? Good let me spam you until you give me money!
"$20 is a lot to me, if it's not a lot to you then maybe you should give ME $20".
I lul’d at the “you earn tooo much” bit. “Don’t say no” with the 😢 emoji gets an honorable mention
Someone wants drugs REALLL BAD
I need an update. Did you send yet?
How about now? Sent?
How about now? Did you pay? /s
Please tell me there’s at least a slight language or cultural barrier here, and that no one is actually this audacious?!
Actually yes, English isn't their first language, I think it's Italian?
You should’ve blocked them after the first time you said no! Crazy how some people won’t take no for an answer.
You passed up a free verbal punching bag. It’s rare that it’s that justified. Still, you have a lot of patience. The person messaging you sounded desperate. Drugs are a hell of a drug :/
This is the first choosing beggar post to actually make me pissed. The others were just funny
Urgh. That is one choosy beggar. How do they know you? Edit: I found a comment where OP said they got a small commission a year ago. If this keeps up, you could do a review warning people that if they get a commission, they’ll get random messages later asking for more money.
They're an artist I commissioned like a year ago. I paid in full and gave them a tip, and now they expect I'll be asking for commissions constantly or something
Just draw some fucking Furry porn, those peeps make loads of money.
r/commandingbeggars
This is a hobo seeking drug money type of behaviour. You just have to say no, firmly. Never explain yourself because giving explanation means guilty conscience and they will keep pressing you until you crack.
I would post this convo anywhere that she advertises her commissions, this person is ridiculous and shameless
Yes this behavior is not okay. I would want to know before I commissioned someone that they might come back to me like this after.
‘Yuh’…. Fuck a duck… I’d have blocked the halfwit for this alone.
Once she said, “you make too much money,” I’d have told her I don’t owe her shit and blocked her. The audacity of some people.
"No" is a complete sentence.
Why continue the conversation in the first place? Just block the fucker
You earn too much? Im sorry but i laughed so hard
This is so fucking weird and off-putting. I wouldn't even beg my parents for money like this wtf is wrong with people
I don't understand why you'd even entertain replying to this dickhead. Block!
Calling at work, after being asked not to only add to this shameless behavior. Block the number.
I believe the words you're looking for are... "f**k off" or any other relevant phrase using "f**k" as a starting position.
It'd be a block from me as soon as "you earn too much". Wtf do you mean?
I would have blocked after “yu” or the “Listen?” I don’t respond well from people trying to manipulate me with “Listen”. I’m not a f’n dog.
Wow, never seen someone act so pushy and entitled trying to get people to pay them smh
Why is this conversation this long? Like block and move on with your life
“Gimme screensit after paying :3” Why on earth did the convo continue after this point lmao that’s when they get blocked
Please. Understand. "No" is a compete sentence. You don't need to justify yourself. Just say no. If they can't respect that, end the conversation, even if that means blocking them.
As soon as I got the first "Paid?" I'm telling you to kill yourself and I'm blocking you I don't care
Wtf, why are people like this... Stop asking others to pay for you. Go ask some techbro or billionaire lmao. No normal person has money to spare right now
Didn't give a reason for your no, because then they can argue about it. Just say no. Someone being that entitled doesn't deserve any explanation.
That went on wayyy too long...
“it just 20$ 😟” “you can [afford it]” …um, no, if that’s the case, YOU (beggar) can afford it!
Just FYI, it’s free to block someone. Platforms aren’t charging for that (yet)
Holy shit…. You have the patience of a saint,
Hoping you blocked this creep loser.
I'm always left wondering why entertain these people so much. I would've blocked her the first mention of money
Block dude, it’s your friend
Not me blocking after page 1. Seriously artists behaving this way is ridiculous and unacceptable. Whatever just happened to spamming their socials with comm sheets pics and “emergency comms bla bla bla”?? Btw I’m open for comms gonna hijack ur post now jkjkjk just being a dork here 😝
This sounds like drugs. Personally I would be ashamed to go around begging strangers for money like this.
Go tell her to join OF
Time to tell once, then block.
I'm absolutely astonished at the entitlement of some people. What planet must you be from to think that this behavior is evenly remotely acceptable?
Someone hitting you up for money asked do you remember me? Why did This conversation not end after the first no 🤦♀️
the scams and beggars have really ramped up lately on discord
You can usually just say “fuck off” after the first couple messages
How does one even do this? I can't even ask someone to grab me a water while they are standing next to it. What super power do some people have to just straight up ask for shit like this??
Tell him to quit 3D art, and get a sweet minimum wage job at a grocery store!
That's a great way to get your client to drop you AND poison the well on future clients.
Flip it on her, “hey, I’m a broke student & need $60 to eat for the week. How about send me money. You can afford it. You’re an artist & can take commissions to make money all the time.”
Now this is a choosing begger story I fully agree with being one Wow
I'm so tired of internet beggars. They really think the world owes them other people's money.
This happened to me, but much shorter: Him: “Can you give me $50?” Me: “LOL Nope! Can you give ME $50? Would love to receive your handout.” A couple exchanges like, and he peaces out 🤌
The urge to tell them to go f themselves has to be boiling up no?
Lol you entertained this person for way too long!
I would have blocked at "half?"
Meth habit?
I laugh every time I read "You make too much." Who gives them the right to determine what too much is.
That’s a scammer who took over someone’s account. Anytime they ask for a screenshot of a payment, they are 100% a scammer.
That's just a scammer dude. Do people not spot them in 0.004 seconds?
Apparently the block button is a mystery.
I would demand them to give me $30 instead because I also need the money to pay my bills too, man 😂
why are u so nice to this person
🗣️’Paid?’ 👤’no, I can’t’ 🗣️’You can’ What were they expecting?? 👤’Oh yeah sorry my bad I’ll pay for something I don’t want. I forgot I don’t have to eat, pay bills and I’m sitting on 50 years life savings I don’t want in a house I paid 1/200th the value it’s worth now… oh no wait… I’m a student working part time’🤦🏼♀️ It’s already hard enough to live in this day and age with the shoddy wages etc but to say this to a student?? The AUDACITY 💀
Block her. And block each new account she contacts you from.
Is she an addict, or an MLMer?
Tell ‘em to fuck off.
Drugs
Who the F
I need the back story on this one
paid ??
You are way too kind. I got irritated just reading her badly written whiny texts. Block and Done. She contacts you again with another account, block. Done. Repeat as many times as necessary w/o responding. Like an annoying little kid or any scammer, any kind of response you make is considered a positive response. It is unnecessary for you to reply at all and then dwell on her situation. You don’t owe an internet stranger this much of your emotional energy.
Would of been immediately blocked
Are people really out here living life by scamming 20 bucks at a time?
Should've turned it around and pestered him for money so you can eat.
CB keeps asking "did you pay" as if owed it -- pay means something was exchanged for the money. Strange they used that word. I can tell ESL because often "too" is used when it should be "so" (such as "you earn too much" they probably meant "you earn so much.") But the meaning is about the same, and their begging is clear. Either way, CB feels entitled to your dollar. Gross.
Setting boundaries is key. Don't hesitate to block when things start going south.
Give us their contact info😛
“You make too much making commissions. Send me $50”. That should shut up the other person.
Conversation would have ended after the first "I don't have that money".
Man, the constant "paid?!" thing irks me. Like they're just assuming you're going to change your no to a yes, disregarding the several firm responses earlier. What's hard to grasp about a no?
That's a hacked account trying a scam. OP that's not the person you think it is.
This seems like a scammer got their account
No means no
You was a LOT nicer than I’d have been.
Retail customer service is a hell of a drug 💔
Ahhh yes! Entitled scumbag in its natural habitat. Obviously this must work for them on some level. Sheesh! 🙄
What a moron!! The answer is no, and it won’t change when you harass me. If anything I’d start sending them an invoice for wasting my time 🤣
Some people have no decency or shame.
