I was so burned out and exhausted with dealing with the loss of my dog during all this, and Emily took care of so much. I was so angry and frustrated that someone was doing this to us! Like Emily I would absolutely never contact a business the way the impersonator did, and be that unprofessional! Thank you for sharing our story Emily, this was a wonderfully put together video and I'm very grateful for you making this video because I'm still just SO angry they got away with it in the past! I'm glad I had your suspicious self to talk to and to help me not get scammed by them MORE ugh! I really thought it was a child at first, luckily Emily is a straight super detective! Also their email to you was almost WORD FOR WORD the one they sent me! Probably literally copy and paste.

Somehow I received all of the product on the last one. I don’t even know how they got my address. But and Etsy person was involved once, and also 2 other companies. And these were the ones I was notified about. The most recent one was just about a month ago. I believe the address they used was in Oregon. I think.

      @simonehagge8965 3 ปีที่แล้ว +41

      These types of scams are more common than people think, but they were hitting comic cons and were old school in their approach. This lady / person / took a more modern approach. I'm extremely bummed to hear that this happened. An artist's reputation is everything especially in this digital age. The common saying of "any publicity is good publicity" that is not the case. Thankfully you both have a good base, and damn good relationships with companies for this to be exposed. Trust is hard to come by and once damaged hard to make perfect again. I have always respected how Emily has gone into providing detail, being neutral and albeit pissed the fuck off as she was, still managed to be really decent to everyone involved in how she handled the situation. Exposing them, while not being explicit shows a lot of maturity. Kudos to you girl. And one thing I don't think you have to worry about it getting too big. You are doing more than most people can do. I myself can't get in front of a camera, I have tried got excited to film it and won't go any further because of online scarring, we'll call it. You stay true to who you are. You don't have to churn out product to keep people coming to you, you don't have to post every few minutes with attention grabbing. You both are amazing at being so humble and human that in the long run you will accumulate a following that is more human than number. Keep doing you and keep being awesome. Never let someone else steal your joy and keep doing you.

    My thought during the first conversation with the Etsy seller was: if you're an artist and you like my stuff so much- buy it yourself. If you really wanna support a small business because you are so sure they deserve it, there are enough other TH-camrs who buy paint and review it on there own cost. So stop begging.

    This all happened to me too. Thanks for sharing this and for your proactive response! I know of at least 4 vendors that were contacted posing as my channel. I alerted the vendors I knew about and at least two of them sent her actual product and were alerting authorities. One was an Etsy seller but not the one you talked about, so this reaches farther than I thought. The fact that this person had a channel is news to me, so again, thanks for that heads up. The ridiculous bragging you shared in her messages as well as the fawning product compliments made my jaw drop (after I threw up in my mouth a little). No YT creators do that stuff. I'm also glad you confirmed the messages from the "mother" were fake. A vendor shared her email with me so I sent a cease and desist notice. I got an email from her supposed "mother" and thought it seemed fake but wasn't sure. The profuse apology for her "daughter" salted with hints to drop it and let her handle it were very suspicious. I told her that was all well and good but any legal recourse was still going to be taken regardless. Never heard from her again. I will share your video with my vendors and audience. The more light this has the less likely someone will try it again.

I know they say lying on the internet is easier because you aren’t face to face, but the thought of doing something like this not only gives me anxiety but straight up makes me sick.

    21:41 For anyone who is struggling with money: please never feel like you have to spend more than you can afford on art supplies. The best paints I have found are in the low-medium price range. I thought I would mention this for any artists who believes they can't draw without pricey art supplies.

    • @kittenmimi5326
      @kittenmimi5326 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yeah. Like sure, if you get shitty children's paint are gonna make creating arts like 5 times more more difficult BUT! There are plenty of good quality art supplies at an affordable price. Look at online reviews etc, at people trying art supplies out. You're bound to find an art supply best suited to your price range and painting style. For example don't overdilute acrylic for watercolor effect, just get some watercolors. Or don't lay watercolor on too thickly without any water or that's gonna cost you, just go get acrylic or gouache. And stuff like that. Because while yes, the expensive stuff (copic, polychromos etc) does make a difference in quality or painting experience there's similiar stuff that does almost just as well at a way lower price range. At some point some brands prices are only that high because of the brand and not just because of quality anymore

They’ll hop from creator to creator impersonating them and scamming businesses and sellers and continue to do that until they’re legally prosecuted.
