Q: I have seen another person using identical fursona
A: Three months ago, I have found an adoptable on DeviantArt and decided to buy it for 75 dollars. For those, who don't know, an adoptable is a ready character you can buy and use instead of creating your own from scratch. After paying, I have received a picture of my fursona in my email (screenshot of an email can be seen below) and I happily used it for three mounths.
Today morning, I have randomly found another person, using almost same fursona on Twitter and after doing some investigations, it seems, that I have bought a stolen fursona without realizing it. The person, who sold me an adoptable seems just downloaded image from internet and sell it to me, pretending it was original artwork made by him.
Because I am already having a fursuit made and I have paid, I won't be changing my fursona. Instead, I will replace all furry art, that seems belong to another person to my own. The problem of plagiarism in furry fandom is more about artworks and I don't think, the original author of the design would care about me.
So, you might see my profile picture, banner art and many other media changing. I have proofs, that I am not responsible and I was scammed (including the emails) Please be understanding
