Artic Figures Scam

[EmperorDinobot]

He's asking for $250/Megaraptor hahahah, saying that he bought them "before they were $180". Um, they've always been $180.

Don't do it I guess. Unless you REALLY want it.

[EmperorDinobot]

Unfortunately I do.


It would make for an interesting review, to say the least.

You might want to hold off. Jurassic Justin has posted on IG that he is considering helping people out by making these figures everyone wanted but were cheated out of. He did specifically mention the Megaraptor.

I do not know who that is. My IG presence is minimal. But I'll definitely look him up now! Thanks for the tip.

Well A @Andysdinosaurreviews made a video on the situation, and good for him to do so to help bring more awareness:

Good on him!

I think it's pretty amazing that there are companies, completely unconnected to this debacle, that are willing to step in and at least try and make the figures people wanted from The Scammer.

I have to admit, I almost jumped on their Graboid, but it felt really tiny for the money.

So if this is actually happening, is it possible for someone who just found out about it to get in on an order?

I would think so.

Wow... so yeah this guy does not care...



Do not give money to this guy...

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Oh yeah, he's even been attacking Syrett Tech for going after him and trying to help the victims.

[EmperorDinobot]

Where?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Where?

Check out Syrett's Facebook posts.

Surprised that over 800 people are falling for him again

Could be fake accounts, but if not they deserve what they get. If your warned and still throw your money away..well..

There's still customers or future customers asking about products. Comments are apparent in Artic's posts.

It honestly doesn't surprise me that people are still buying from him, despite the attempt to spread the awareness of his scamming acts. His figures and post are abundant and flow in the prehistoric post of instagram, so it doesn't surprise me more people are finding him, purchasing from him, and it's a complete cycle...

It's crazy to me that no one bothers to look him up or ask about him before buying. I never go with a new company or individual without reading reviews or asking others.  I swear it's like people forgot the internet is an information resource.

Exactly. I do the same thing. Prior to having work done by dinosaur_models_artworks, I contacted a customer of his via instagram to see how well it went, and certainly got positive feedback about him, so there I was now an addicted to acquiring his work

Anyways, I noticed Artic has hidden the comment of a user who asked about his order of the articulated Buck, Doe, and infant. I'm not surprised, and the poor soul who has been scammed... *Sighs*

Humans are remarkable for having developed their own self-contained ecosystem, @Bread.  In our internal scheme of things , I'm debating whether the Artic scammer is a predator or a parasite. though I'm leaning towards the latter. Then again, perhaps a bit of both.
