This is getting tiring.

I DREW A SKETCH FOR THE SCAMMER 🥲

I didn’t realize it right away and was already drawing a sketch. Be careful! Another PayPal phishing scheme.

Apparently, I hadn’t been on Tumblr in a while, so I didn’t immediately realize it was a scam. But at first, the person didn’t answer my questions, then he started texting like AI , and eventually he sent me email from a PayPal phishing site, which I was already familiar with, so I didn’t fall for it. Initially, I wasn’t bothered by anything because the person liked and reposted other people’s posts, and their following list was growing. Plus, the girl’s photo wasn’t publicly available.

Here is a sketch and screenshots of the chat by the way ✨

The mail is so BAAAD looking

I’m crying 😅

Scams

Guys there is scam going on where people photoshop your account into a report violation and pretend that they accidentally reported you and that you should contact a help staff. DO NOT! You never have to contact any support since they will do it for you. I almost fell into that trap.

they will force you into sending money and blackmailing! DO NOT FALL FOR IT!

Just as a warning, this account most likely got hacked and is trying to scam you!! Don’t do it!

Yall just wanted to make an announcement if anyone send you a message saying they reported you and you need to add someone on discord, it’s a scam. They’re trying to take your account and tumblr would never try to “prove your innocence through discord” This might be obvious but I’m just saying in case you guys ever get a message and can’t tell if it’s real or not. Stay safe you guys!
