Please be aware of common scams! If someone contacts you with a scam, please report and block them. Outside of our support email and official [tumblr] accounts ONLY on [tumblr] (when in doubt, look for the same Staff Member badge that you see on this blog), Staff will never message you or reply to your posts to notify you about changes to your account. Also, [tumblr] will never ask for money other than when you purchase Premium subscriptions, domains, paid themes, or anything sold in TumblrMart.
