For reals? I sell very little on TeePublic…like $5/mo. They overpaid artists back in November and need everyone to pay them back. For me, that’s $.23. If you really need the $.23, I’m not sure you’re going to last as a company.

      This is a typical scam, convince the victim you refunded them too much, and ask for the difference back. Only thing is they never refunded you in the first place. They just use the inspect tool to edit your balance client side

        I think you’re thinking of scenarios where you’re on a call with the scammer and they’ve remoted into your machine.

          Exactly

          EDIT: It’s a known scam usually through some guise of computer repair or a trusted company, but Occam’s Razor would dictate that this is not a scam simply because who would bother would 23 cents?
          Or maybe that’s the scam? It’s such a low ball amount that 10k+ clients wouldn’t even question it.

        i’ve seen that, also doctored screenshots…

        one they just transferred money from savings into checking, then doctored a screenshot and put that on the screen instead (photoshopped by a second actor also accessing the pc remotely) to make it look like an errant payment came in… of $14,000.

        they almost got taken, made it all the way to the bank to pull the money out (to take to moneygram or something iirc) and the teller shut it down right there. wouldn’t let 'em. sent 'em to me instead.

        the screenshot was nearly perfect… the font wasn’t quite right and they fucked up the math at the bottom showing that sub-account’s balance… forgot about the cents, just put an even dollar amount there. i dunno why they changed that line, it would have been ‘correct’
