Scam Alert!
Hey guys, I almost got scammed just now and I want to give y'all a warning and a heads up to keep an eye on any suspicious activity.
Out of nowhere, I got these suspicious messages:
The situation seemed plausible so I was ready to take steps to prevent my account getting banned. But then, they sent me this:
And that's when I got suspicious.
NO website customer support will ask you to message them on a separate website!!! EVER!!!
I looked it up and apparently this is a scam that's going around on tumblr where they take your account AND try to trick you into giving them money on top of it!
I'm glad I caught it but I know it was only because I have educated myself on how scams work. That's why I wanted to share this with you guys, in case they go through my followers or other warrior cats blogs and try to scam them too. I'm pretty sure the account that messaged me was stolen this way because the posting habits look legitimate if outdated. (Btw, Please don't harass them for this reason and others)
TLDR: New scam going around, NEVER message someone pretending to be website support on a different website or follow a link someone you don't know sends you.
Take care of yourselves out there, and maybe share this around to make sure no one gets taken advantage of. Thanks <3
