I deeply apologize for posting this late but alas, class had started back up, along with some other things, and I ended up nuking the original file in my stash that had this information. These were the few I could remember off the top of my head.

Quick Update
Short idea/update
1)I'm not on my computer or dA extremely often. I'm usually on mobile and I have yet to figure out how to check group galleries/journals on my device. Eventually I'll figure it out.
2)I'm going to try and compile a list/cross list of bewares and post a SINGLE journal that would be updated every other week. Can't make promises or give a possible date b/c, well depressions a butt and it's quite a list to go through..even more so since I want to do alphabetically and I am one person.
Anyways a few links to new (old) post on AB lj specifically on dA. Again, don't harass the users. Just decide if you want to block, avoid contact
More links Possibilities
Do NOT harass/spam/bug/annoy any problematic clients/artists if they are listed. Just quietly block, shake your head and move on.

I've considered "closing" this group down and moving it to a different group, one where I'd be able to get some help and make it a bit more "official"..perhaps even to the point it actually becomes an affiliate of the Artist Beware community on LiveJournal.
One of the main things I've considered for the new group is it being a bit more than just a place to warn others. A place for those that off
Signal Boost
Main journal can be found here, along with a list of clients.

A few things I would like to address from the original note though.
1) He always ask you a full payment before getting a sketch
This isn't an uncommon practice. However, if one isn't 75% sure or more they will get it done in a timely manner, they should take payment after the sketch or when it's done.
In the latter's case, the artist would send a low-res downsized watermarked file for preview and confirmation. Once the client gives the okay, they can then have them send payment before delivering the high res full image and any variations of it.
2 doesn't need
Commissions 101
Unfortunately, there seems to be a rise in questionable business ethnics, bad practices, and a general lack of forethought..
Which leads to interactions that tend to go very wrong real quick.
So here are some things to consider when you commission someone or offer commissions.
Right off the bat, since this one is something a lot of people do. This one needs to be emphasized which is why bold and caps...
DO NOT HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS PAY THE PAYPAL FEE.
DO NOT HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS PAY THE PAYPAL FEE
DO NOT HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS PAY THE PAYPAL FEE
To add onto that, do not have them send it as a "gift".
Do not add whatever the paypal fee cost/do no
