Do not give any personal information to an account called @585920698100... posing as Tumblr staff. THIS IS NOT WHAT OFFICIAL TUMBLR STAFF BLOGS LOOKS LIKE!
This is pretty obliviously a scam, but I know some accounts that have fallen for these kinds of scams in the past and don't want anyone getting played or robbed.
If you get tagged on something like this, report the blog and block them, and warn others if you can.
They have tagged multiple random accounts in the comment section of a blog they created about 12 hrs ago under the guise of verifying your age. Tumblr does not verify age through a random comment on a post. Official account actions are usually communicated through emails from official Tumblr domains or prompts within your account settings.
Clicking on the link takes you to a website ending in (.shop) which is not an official url tag for Tumblr.
It is asking you to verify your age through your DEBIT CARD INFORMATION! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO VERIFY AGES THROUGH CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS!! Tumblr is free to sign up, so no card information is going to verify anything anyway.
DO NOT PROVIDE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION!
Just for laughs, I asked the chat some questions and this was their response.
For anyone who also got tagged, please be aware of yourself while on the Internet, and do not give away personal or financial information to anyone unless they can verify themselves first.
Also, for anyone who may have already become victims to a scam like this one, contact your bank immediately, freeze or lock the card, and/or request a replacement card if necessary.
