[1/7] I feel like everyone who follows @Punziella deserves to know wtf has been going on, especially for those of us who have been ghosted after purchasing or commissioning her and are never going to get our money back
[2/7] @punziella sent out this long pity email after ghosting anyone who has not received their products/commissions or refunds FOR NEARLY A YEAR, essentially stating that she can't refund but pleading for everyone to keep quiet so that she can resume her social media presence.
[3/7] @punziella has a history going back at least 2 yrs from when she opened up commissions + would ghost people asking for a status update. she tends to open up commissions/POs right before a con or upcoming planned trip because for these she receives payment up front
[4/7] if you search her up on tumblr and look through her twitter page and in the search feed, you’ll find dozens of people who are still asking wtf is going on with their orders.
[5/7] I am not trying to slander @punziella’s reputation. I only want to raise awareness to her unprofessionalism and lack of accountability after scamming so many people of their money.
[6/7] If you want to support her support her in person at cons or through reputable third party print shops like INPRNT and redbubble because otherwise if you try to purchase from her DIRECTLY, the mass majority will not receive her products and she will ghost you about refunds.
[7/7] because she is such a popular artist with a big following base, its been so easy for her to get away with taking ppls money and facing little repercussions up until now because we don't want to believe that someone as popular as punziella would do something so shady.
as an fyi her online shop is still open so you can still purchase her avatar prints through the store EVEN after she sent us this email. if you've made a recent purchase, i strongly suggest disputing now before the dispute window closes and you’re unable to get your money back
Just to clarify since there's some misinterpretation about my post - punziella has official shops on Inprnt and society6 (not redbubble, sorry!), i was not advising people to purchase counterfeits of her art from these sites.
[Update] to give you guys an idea of just how ridiculous and unprofessional punziella has been, this is an archive of the first email she had sent in Dec 2019 which involved a highly disrespectful meme disguised as an "apology": https://prettyuglylittleliar.net/topic/2727-general-e-artist-thread/?do=findComment&comment=585201
[Update] For ppl who are worried about her health, Punziella is still active on private SM. I won't post her handle or FB, but if you follow any of her close artist friends, you'll find her current status. She's just choosing to stay quiet and avoidant about what she's done.
