ok art friends i made a like joke about there being a suspiciously cheap cintiq up on amazon- turns out it’s a scam that a lot of new sellers are doing. you place an order and they send a fake “your order could not be shipped” email that contains viruses if you click on it.

so these sellers will turn up as “new sellers” on amazon and are targeting people buying expensive electronics (i’ve seen a ton while looking for cintiqs and stuff). some listings will show up horrendously cheap, and others just suspiciously cheap (for example: a cintiq 13hd for 400 dollars where they’re usually 800). most of the time they’ll have in the product description “CONTACT AT (EMAIL) BEFORE BUYING” forcing you to contact with them off site. don’t do it!!!

heres an article on whats poppin. be careful around this time of year and if you’re in doubt on the legitimacy of a seller on amazon ask for a second opinion or contact amazon (i would be glad to try and help if i can)
