Beware of user: michael johnson (omobabami2)

Hello, everyone. I want to warn all artists like me to do any business with user that called michael johnson (omobabami2).
https://www.etsy.com/people/omobabami2

He is "fisher" - type of fraud when you have to send money to his own mythical shipping company and after that this "shipping company" will "pick up" painting from you. The point of this fraud is that you must send money for shipping before he will pay for the painting or maybe he will even pay for the painting first, but than open a case against you and will win it, because you havn`t any proofs like tracking number and so on. But you`ve already send them "shipping" money... And when you asking such "fishers" to purchase painting through Etsy and tells them that you will ship only via well-known reliable shipping companies such as usps, dhl, fedex at adress that attached to buyer's paypal account - they just disappear realising that you not succumbed to the hype. I`ve faced such fraud attemption many time, but for the 1st time here on Etsy.

Thank you for the info Grigorii. Fortunately, the shop (www.etsy.com/people/omobabami2) to which you are referring is no longer there. Have a good week!
