Watch out for art scammers, fic-writing folks. They’re getting smarter.

I received a long, thoughtful comment on my 60 Seconds! Fic that seemed genuine. I happily replied to the comment because it talked about plot points in my story. Then they wanted to talk on another platform, likely to sell me crappy AI-generated art.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be safe out there.

Scam update!!!!

The 3rd method the scammers on Tumblr have adopted these days.

I'd like to bring to your attention a new method used by scammers to ensure that you quickly fall for their schemes. When simple messaging the victim to inform them that they had been falsely reported and to use a token number to contact some random person on Discord failed, they turned to a second method of creating an account under the name of the Tumblr support team and began tagging accounts in their little posts to tell them that they should click the blue link so that this issue is resolved quickly and that they will be compensated for their troubles. P. S Do not click that link, and do not contact that guy on Discord.

NOW these scammers have adapted a different method where they get into your DM and tell you that you have been fasly reported by them and show you a page of the report with your account name and pfp on it along with the supposed report made. Do not fall for. It just happened to me by this account name ' okyii'. They quickly followed me after that, and I told them that it was fine, that I had been reported a million times, and that they shouldn't worry. They quickly unfollowed and blocked me. These actions are all you need to know to identify a scammer.

I have put a pic of what those supposed false reports these days look like. Commit it to memory.
