โผ๏ธโ ๏ธWARNING TO ALL TUMBLR BLOGS! THERE HAS BEEN A SCAM TREND CIRCULATING HERE! โ ๏ธโผ๏ธ
Iโve personally seen these THREE TIMES already, so I made this post to warn everyone! I also did my research for this!
credits for pic 2: @frog-memes (sorry for the mention!)
Whatโs going on here is that there will be comments on your posts saying stuff like they canโt message you for some reason like the screenshots above. If you engage, they typically claim they "accidentally reported" your account and provide a link or a contact (often on Discord or via email) to "resolve" the issue. They will try to trick you into logging into a fake site that steals your password or ask you to pay "fees" to unblock your blog.ย
ITS A PHISHING SCAM, DO NOT REPLY OR CLICK ANY LINK SENT BY THEM!! STAFF WILL NEVER REACH OUT LIKE THIS, AND DO NOT TRUST OTHER PEOPLE CLAIMING THIS! STAFF WILL ONLY COMMUNICATE WITH YOU IN OFFICIAL EMAILS OR ON YOUR DASHBOARD!
TLDR: If you see comments claiming someone "can't message you" or "accidentally reported your account," ignore them because it is aย phishing scamย designed to steal your password or money. Tumblr Staff willย neverย contact you through post comments or ask you to move to Discord, they only use official emails or dashboard notifications! Do not click any links or replyโjustย report and blockย the account immediately to stay safe!
Report as spam/bot accounts
NEVER MESSAGE BACK OR ENGAGE
Staff have official badges, so itโs easy to identify!
If you have already replied:
Step 1:ย Block the account.
Step 2:ย DO NOT provide any screenshots of your account settings or "verification codes."
Step 3:ย Change your password and turn onย Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)ย just to be safe.
STAY SAFE! Please reblog this post to spread awareness! Thank you!!
