Stay classy and NEVER contact the subject of a PSA. Report, block, and move on. This information is here so you can proactively protect yourself.
UPDATE 3/14/2024
It appears that Mya has managed to return the money to many artists and pledges for that to continue as much as they can. They have posted a psa on their own behalf [linked below] and have also commented here with a series of links on this PSA that you should go look at [see the comments]. We have also screenshot Hershel's comments and added them here.
One of their requests is to have the name Mya removed from the PSA. The admin team here at Artist's Aware has discussed this and has decided that the PSA will stay as it is and using Mya. The reason for this is that for Paypal, they go by Mya Clayton, and we believe that their Paypal alias shouldn't be shrouded in mystery as they are a high risk person to do business with. It is possible for them to change many things about their identity, so artists don't know who they are dealing with until they get to Paypal. So we believe, for the safety of the art community, the name Mya should remain in the PSA.

UPDATE 3/7/2024
Mya has reached out to us to let us know that she is trying to fix the chargebacks. She has asked us to remove the PSA on her. HOWEVER, as she is a high risk person to do business with, making poor financial decisions and with a caretaker that has access to her account and can at any time issue chargebacks, we have decided to keep the PSA active as a warning to anyone who might accept a payment from Mya in the future. Mya is a high risk person to accept money from. Take it as you like. The original PSA is below.

THE ORIGINAL PSA
Today we bring to you a PSA on a scammer who has a total chargeback amount against artists in excess of $3000.
This scammer is pervasive and apparently charming as despite the number of PSAs on them, they have scammed numerous people to, like I just stated, over $3000!!!
This user is Mya, and as always, stay classy and do not engage the target of this PSA. Simply spread the word and avoid them for your own safety and security.

It is important to note the sensitivity of this situation. It is affecting a large number of artists who are being charged back across PayPal, Cashapp, and other platforms.
Mya has already been ip banned from Vgen [screenshot included of this] due to their numerous chargebacks.

It is also important to note that their "mother" has been contacting artists on their behalf stating they are in debt and can't afford these transactions [some screenshots included]. Mya themselves has posted they are $8000 in debt [screenshot provided] and that their mom is the one doing the chargebacks after hacking their phone. But if that is so, why do the mother's and Mya's typing look so similar AND how did this mother get access to the characters and also the artist contact info? The situation is really sus.
What's more telling is their changing of usernames after the first PSA went out. Like changing their username would protect them from the shitstorm they've created for themself. They have had quite a few on their main TH [screenshot provided].
What's worse is that some "friend" has come out of the woodwork to vouch for Mya stating they do this often, having had a history of bad financial decisions, and that Mya's mother is financially abusive [screenshot provided].
So all-in-all, a sticky situation that doesn't appear to be getting solved any time soon. At least not by Mya.
