Tumblr ripoff sites using our blogs and info
I open tumblr after a while just to warn ya’ll about something i JUST found out minutes ago it might be common knowledge by now to everyone but I don’t lose anything staying safe and spreading this info
about 3 tumblr ripoff sites are taking the ENTIRETY of our blogs and posting them in their own sites, in real time. This includes text posts, art/images, videos and reblogs as well as offering statistics that as far as i know, should be private to the blog owner.
I myself stumbled upon tumgir where I found not only my main account, but my art account I hadn’t used in years (To note: The 3 sites are Tumgir , Tumblar and Tumbex)
You can look at my entire blog through this site, and anyone else’s
I tried doing research but most of what I can find is only other tumblr users who have stumbled upon this. here’s their own posts

From some of these posts we can gather that they have a lot of our info and also, it’s nearly impossible to contact them as the emails on apparently all 3 websites are fake. Only way to delete stuff from these websites is to literally delete our tumblr accounts. I am unsure on how to proceed with this situation myself and where else to look but I can at least spread this information. if you yourself got other important info to share please do!
content creators are at risk, people who use this site to vent/cope are at risk, YOU are at risk.
PLEASE reblog and let others know!!!
