SERIOUS: NEW BOT SCAM ALERT

heya!

this right here?

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT REAL.

the "@staff" is just the bio text.

tumblr staff will not contact you through anything other than email or their official accounts, which will all have this badge:

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THIS OR SIMILAR ACCOUNTS AND ABSOLUTELY DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS FROM IT.

report and block. i'd also appreciate it if you shared this post, bc that blog was JUST created and was already tagging a LOT of people, and i know not everyone has the scam-sensing instinct, even if this might seem obvious to some.

@staff @tumblr @support

[vinceaddams]

I just got tagged by one of these! Yikes!

(I also get tagged by this sort of scam page pretty regularly on facebook.)

Fellow Ko-fi Users,

There is a fake account called "support" flooding inboxes with the claim that your account is frozen.

This is the email i received regarding a DM that showed up:

The scammer used coding to make thr message look legit in my DMs: <div style="border: 1px solid rgba(220, 53, 69, 0.35); border-radius: 12px; padding: 16px 20px; background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.18); white-space: normal"> <h2 style="display:flex">⚠️ Important: Your account has been frozen!</h2> </br> <p>As a result, donations from your supporters are currently blocked. To reactivate your account and resume receiving donations, you must update your payment information.</p> </br> <p>👉 Use the link below to update your details and restore your account: https://[email protected]/u3RBsbnkI7y</p> </div>

Here's a screenshot someone took of their DMs today:

Notice the claim is the receiver needs a Direct Banking Card rather than just updating their profile?

Then i received this comment on my most recent post:

same message as my DMs.

If you get any message or comment like this:

Report the DM. Take screenshots of it too. Then block the fake account.

Block them if you haven't yet, then delete their comment.

Do not click on the message or comment.

As a Ko-Fi user, just a heads up for everyone!

Happy Pride!

[stitchposts]

Happy pride, everyone! I made a joke about my embroidery and now I've made it reality.

Want to use this as an icon? Consider tossing me, an unemployed trans person, a kofi donation! I'm still looking for a job and in the meantime any support at all really helps me to keep stitching projects.

[stitchposts]

I'm more stable now than I was this time last year, but have a cube on your dash again.

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.

Commission rate page for ACEO-ATC's! Do you want a personal trading card? Something that has your character's face on it? Sure you do!

So come on down to my Ko-Fi page and request some little art cards!

All ACEO/ATC/Art trading card sized art will be shipped via envelope, untracked, which is why a scan copy will always be provided, just in case the envelope gets lost.

If you have questions, please go over to my Ko-Fi page and send me a message! The character in the image, that's mine, just as an example!

learning that 5 minute crafts is a russian mafia operation wasn't on my 2026 bingo card but also doesn't really surprise me

[jabibi-posting]

its what

[batsandboba]

russian mafia operation

[isa-ghost]

Hey what

[batsandboba]

oh. i’m sure its fine and normal that a video investigating the massive bot farm/slop channel shell company connections to the russian mafia and youtube’s own implication by allowing it to continue for profit has mysteriously vanished with no word from op.

5 Minute Crafts Has A Cybercrime Problem [ CHUPPL] [4K] : CHUPPL : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Key points:

What's been known for a long time it seems is that the parent company is owned by two Russians, based in Cyprus, and that it owns a cloud of youtube and other media channels, most of them dedicated to mindless content churning like 5 minutes crafts and a few others having done Russian propaganda such as slanted history articles.

The vid author ran a tracker that looked up the age of the commenters' *account*

This is a normal range for account ages in youtube comments:

And this is the age range for the commenter *accounts* on the 5 Minutes Craft channel: they are all newly created accounts and a majority of them are one second old.

It identifies major bot activity with the aim of creating an artificial audience, which in turns generates a huge ads revenue. This trafic and ads revenue is why the channel has a contract as an official partner with YouTube (-> massive revenue theft !)

Financially, the company is organised in offshore shell holdings that are based in money laundering countries (Seychelles, Virgin Islands). The founders were also named in the Pandora papers.

In 2020, the company, alongside other Russian Cyprus-based it companies, made a public donation that the vid author cross-referenced against a 2025 cybersecurity report, Deniability by Design, that alledged that the donation was connected to a criminal network, Vain Viper, that does ad fraud and cyberattacks.

One actor in that network was physically close to the company (office neighbirs and same lawyers) and appears to have been implicated in the hack of the Democratic National Committee.
