Just found out about this tumblr scam y'all should know about. This person would contact you saying that they accidentally reported your account and that you have to contact [email protected] to prove that it was an accident or else your account would be banned. I was a bit panicky so I contacted the email without thinking about it and discovered that you'll get an email back saying that they found suspicious activity on your account. You're then directed to a fake staff account to continue discussing it. When I pointed out that it was a scam, they blocked me immediately. I'll add screenshots below
This is the mail I received in my inbox shortly after emailing the address I was given:
All of the links in the email direct to the same account:
#just so yall know. the person who messaged me talked to me in the past so i was inclined to believe that it was genuine#i wish i played along longer just to see what they say afterwards#remember to not click any suspicious links and keep your passwords private#scammers#scam alert#scam warning#tumblr scam#scam#scams#online scams#fake accounts#stolen account#tumblr staff#pass it on#account safety#internet safety#imposter scam#spoofing#phishing
