How to spot commission request scams!

I know a lot of you may know this already but for those who don't:

I get many of these scam messages and there are a few trends. Be very wary of anyone who:

​

• Asks where you are located
• Offer to pay you a huge amount of money
• Doesn't want to pay you with the method you provide
• Wants to pay with "cheque" or "mobile cheque deposit"
• Asks you to draw their son/daughter's dog
• Asks if you draw when your profile is clearly filled with your work
• Ask you to paint/draw in a medium you don't usually work with (in general, if it's clear they don't even know much about your work, they are probably a scammer)
• Is overall acting strange/messaging you in a very blunt way (real commission clients are usually very friendly and professional in comparison)
