LaurenAshleyArt is a Scam Artist ::UPDATE FEB. 29::

[ducttapeninja]

Not drama, but I wanted to get this out there, as this has really been bugging me. I'm not sure where else to post it besides here and FTW, so if anybody has any recommendations about comms where this should go, that'd be really helpful.

So, some folks may remember laurenashleyart/LaurenAshley/SashaDobie/CynthiaSophia/TotallyTrouble from that whole confusing artists_beware

Oh shoot, I had no idea she was Sasha Dobie. She was contacting me about a suit commission, I thought the character was so cute... had no idea about her record. I was wondering why that post was deleted. Whew.

[laurenashleyart]

Okay, let me start by saying that yes, I do owe Bombafur money. I have been emailing him very recently these past few days, as well. I told him I'd rather refund him fully than just sending him the materials I bought to use on the suit

[poizenkat]

So you're buying suits when you owe people money? Damn.

[laurenashleyart]

There is no excuse for it, I can't agree more.

[otherscape]

Then why are you doing it?

[poizenkat]

I guessed it was sashadobie a while ago and warned my friend against commissioning them... though she got hers, i guess its only fursuits she's not doing? anyhow, she has another FA account, but she disappeared from it; http://www.furaffinity.net/user/laurenbites

oh no, it was a trade XD durp but i do know that she was going to buy some of those chomp badges

[laurenashleyart]

Corrie? Yes we did a trade a while back. No issues there though, :3 yes that's my vore account. Closing it up because I'd like to do something besides that for a while ^^;

[poizenkat]

thats good, then.

seems like people were wondering where you were, perhaps you should let them know? XD

[spiffystuff]

IDK WTF is up with this person (was leery after those AB posts myself) seems they're one of the folks who toe the line on what they can get away with then back off once there's a kerfluffle.

Guess that's better than folks who don't bother even if there is a kerfluffle though.

Apparently. Also loving how she only seems interested in getting her ass in gear and actually getting in touch with the people she stole from after getting called out in a drama comm for it. :U

She mentioned in her notes to Wolf_Goat that she's done nothing but work really hard to make a good name for herself... Which frankly I don't buy for a second.

I have to say, all her apologetic language in here sounds just like the same insincere, damage-control bullshit she posted in both those A_B entries about the hummingbird costume. If she meant any of it, she'd DO it, not play the same "poor me" card she used when trying to wriggle out of refunding the poor guy that won her (badly worded, exaggerated) auction for the hummingbird.

No wonder she hates A_B.

[ducttapeninja]

Seriously. :/ She told Wolf_Goat that she'd been keeping in contact with everyone she'd owed, which wasn't the case because 1) Both of the people I talked to told me she'd been ignoring them, Bombafur even mentioning that there was more than just those two she'd given the shaft to, and 2) How the fuck do you keep in constant contact with someone about the money and art you owe them and then go "Oh hey, I'm gonna go ahead and drop $1000 that doesn't actually belong to me on a fursuit for me!"

Apparently she's got Mjomag making the DTD she needs for his horse fursuit, but frankly I don't know if she's even going to do the work on that if she does get it. The only remotely fursuit-related thing I've seen her make was a bodysuit that she'd only done a few months ago for her ram character, everything else fursuit-related she owns was made by somebody else. And yet somehow she's had someone waiting on a full horse fursuit for three years? There's no progress on any fursuits at all in either of the three galleries of hers that I know of,

"Haha hey everyone! Thanks for all the GREAT TIPS! I will try to put these into action! Looking forward to another post in another year or so following up on how I didn't change my ways at all! Haha yeah!!"

[ducttapeninja]

"I know I've spent thousands of my commissioners' dollars on a bunch of fursuits from popular makers to up my own internet popularity without actually doing the work or refunds I owe, it was just an accident! But that's no excuse, I know, so thank you for the help and I'm totally going to make everything right!

Just let me commission this one fursuit from SparkyCantDo first, teehee!"
