🚨 PSA: Tumblr/Discord Account Scam You Need to Know About 🚨
A new scam is making the rounds, and it’s catching people off guard because it feels urgent and personal.
It usually starts with a message like this:
“Hey can you message me? I have something important to tell you about your account…”
The next step is they’ll claim something like:
“I accidentally reported your account, you need to contact this person to fix it.”
Let’s be very clear:
This is a scam. And it’s a dangerous one.
Here’s how it works:
They try to create panic about your account being at risk. Then they direct you to contact someone on Discord who supposedly “works with Tumblr” and can fix the issue.
🚩 Red Flag #1: They move you off-platform
If your account has an issue, Tumblr will contact you directly. Not through a random user. Not through Discord.
🚩 Red Flag #2: They claim to be “support” but aren’t
No legitimate platform will have you message a random third party to resolve account issues.
🚩 Red Flag #3: They ask for money
They’ll eventually say they can “fix” your account for $100 or more.
Never pay anyone to recover or protect your account. Real support does not work like that.
What you should do instead:
• Do NOT message them back
• Do NOT contact anyone they suggest
• Do NOT send money
• Report and block the account immediately
• If you’re concerned, go directly to Tumblr’s official support page
Scammers rely on urgency and confusion. If someone is rushing you, pushing you off-platform, and asking for money… that’s your sign to stop.
Stay sharp and share this so others don’t get caught in it.
