WARNING ABOUT A TUMBLR SCAM
Someone I care about reached out to me and let me know that my posts and artwork was used in a scam attempt. It’s important to me that everyone be made aware since it’s proven to have made it over to this side of Tumblr. Please protect yourself and your accounts.
It will often start as someone messaging you that they accidentally reported you because they found a different account that looks like yours and thought they were faking as you.
They will share screenshots to prove that this account exists and is posing as you. Those screenshots are all faked.
Don’t interact with them. These scammers are attempting to get you off the site, into a discord, and get you to share them your email and make you pay for something sketchy.
Here are some examples of messages you will see from them:
It hurts to be used like this. The deception used and issuing a timeframe before you ‘lose’ your account makes my blood boil. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.
Never follow someone offsite, if there is a problem, you should personally connect to Tumblr support or the support of any website to discuss the issue via email.
Stay Safe Everyone 💕
The more we learn about these things, the less people get tricked.
