Teeth brushed and ready to tuck myself into bed, thought I would read a new note which had just popped into my DeviantArt inbox...
It turned out to be a lot more sinister than I was expecting...
My heart beat faster as I tired to make sense of it. 'Death will be your destiny' Does someone wants to kill me? Who? Why? What?
I've had people say some pretty harsh stuff, but nothing along these lines. Is this a troll, or am I actually in danger? Do I phone the police? Report it to DeviantArt? I knew it was probably a troll, scammer, hacker, trickster, but still felt uneasy. I knew there probably wasn't someone out to kill me, but anxiety jumps in the pool before rationality has put its swimming costume on. ( and I have a very vivid imagination, as you might have realised by now )
So I googled the name and email address hoping to come up with something, but nothing. So I copy and pasted the contents of the message into google. Where results showed up that this is pretty much word for word a 'Hitman Scam'; In 2012 it was sent to hundreds of Australians via SMS, trying to extort money out of them. It's been doing the rounds via email and the world since then. ~It's currently going through DeviantArt!
My message seems lightly more personal as it has 'destiny' at the end. But it looks like in recent days a lot of people on DeviantArt have received a very similar message: New DA Scammer?, Scaming Bastards
Thought I'd share this information with you all, so you peeps can be in the know, as it's a pretty weird, and frankly scary message to receive... but It's just a scam, no ones after you, just your money! The whole thing is absurd, but the most absurd thing is they are targeting artists - y'know, the guys who don't have that kind of money anyway! XD
If you do get the note: Don't reply, don't email, report it to DA, and possibly law enforcement.
Please feel free to share this and pass the message on so others can be informed.
Now I'm off to bed and will sleep better knowing no ones coming to kill me... I hope
Peace, Love and Protection,
~Blue xx

Fundraising to help Blue
This is Blue's partner Joe. I have bad news to report unfortunately, Blue is currently recovering in a Suicide Respite House after another horrible mental health episode. So I've started this GoFundMe campaign to help get her the medical care she needs to recover long term.
I love her so much, and know so many of you love her too, so I hope we can help her together.
Thank you 💙
