everything fascinates me but nothing is ever really excites me.

[covetops]

And so I just never have the appropriate reaction to properly fit in the room.

SCAMS spreading on Tumblr recently!

They mostly follow two patterns::

ONE

Accounts of different names (sometimes even those seeming legit) tag a bunch of accounts to posts like these.

These tags are made in the comment section of a single post which usually ranges back to only a couple of days ago.

THESE ARE FAKE

I've received about four to five of these across several accounts, and can verify, there are NO restrictions imposed.

The first message I received was over 48 hours ago and so the things mentioned in the post are proved false.

The link the post leads to asks for bank details which I've never given Tumblr before and in fact, it does NOT require for something of the sort.

TWO

Comments by people on your post using the exact keywords from:

"I apologize for disturbing you, but I must talk to you immediately. I can't share it here, so please get in touch with me. I can't get in touch with you directly because of a keep error."

I addressed the first comment I got and was told by the user that she "accidentally" reported me and sent an image which displayed an official-looking message from Tumblr mentioning that:

-my account has been reported several times for phishing and financial fraud (BRUH)

-that there are certain restrictions on the account nwo

-that if I don't act withing 48-72 hours, my account will be shut down (It wasn't, ofc)

-it said I was supposed to reach out to some "offical Tumblr" support guy on Discord

I then got to know that other accounts had been targeted the same way, where a link was provided which ended up getting those respective accounts hacked!

I did receive a few more of these comments later but knew not to reply.

DO NOT FOLLOW LINKS that are not officially verified.

The scammer industry is pretty strong nowadays — there's new ways of scamming being introduced every now and then.

Everyone, please stay alert!

Remember, if it's a "restriction" or "warning", Tumblr would need to send us an official mail. If there's no official mail, it's most probably a fraud!

There's also been a lot of accounts recently reaching out for "paid" voice recording jobs. I received several messages from different accounts across my three Tumblr accounts and four blogs.

I'm not sure whether this is a scam because I couldn't find anything "scammy" about the conversations that followed, but still find it odd that the offers were so consistent (coming event to the third account which I just created on a whim two days ago).

If someone verified them to be a scam, please let me know.

damn I got the Security Alert one and the voice recording related jobs one just earlier today!!!!!!!!!!

"Are you interested in work involving the recitation of poetry and prose? This is a paid position." is what the comment said, didn't engage with it though

(adding popular tags so this reaches out just in case it's all true)

I'm scared I'll end up being one of the people around me.

I'm tired.

[covetops]

And yet, I'm not giving up.

[covetops]

I lose from myself everyday. I lose part of myself everyday. I lose myself everyday.

[covetops]

I know what my problem is. I'm constantly failing to fix it because it's a battle against my own self.

[covetops]

I know it's not right to be pretending to be someone you're not, but what if your goal in life is to be someone you currently are not? This makes no sense.

[covetops]

I'm so done with shit I'm sitting quietly in the corner room of the house and doing nothing since hours.

[covetops]

I have so many story ideas but just not enough time or motivation to write them all and that's particularly depressing.

[enesl]

slowly and slowly, I am losing my mind I don't know what I hope to find — both me and you know where this goes I cry, and you try, and time brings midnight for us to sit and think, of all we have done just the three am hour, our bodies out of power I breathe, in agony — nothing makes sense but you sleep, peacefully, and the dread of the rushing hour, chooses only to tower me and not you, for you will still pull through but me? No, I probably won't — I don't know; where I am, what I must do, what is false, and what is true. I don't know me. And love is sweet but it's meant for those who are not me I may not understand at all where I stand but I know what I'm not and I know what you are though the thought of me, and you, swirls deep but it's true — I am losing my mind and I am losing my sight, so it's just best for you to be free and get to breathe the air that I suck, away with me.
