!! SCAM LOOKOUT WARNING !!
I had just gotten a scam account comment on one of my blogs pretending to be apart of the "Tumblr Support Verification Team". I have not seen anyone talk about this yet, so I decided to make a post about it since I had no knowledge of it, and in hopes that someone may find this useful.
They claimed that I had "suspicious activity" on the account and that it was under investigation by the team, and that if I did not complete a verification form on the website in one day, my account would be disabled. The website itself looked to be a plain image of the tumblr dashboard (with some things missing) and a working "support chat" that frankly did not look like it was from Tumblr at all.
Here is a comparison for reference:
I automatically knew this was a fake website because I was already logged in on the Tumblr website— plus, the link was very suspicious and didn't seem official.
THIS IS A SCAM!
If ANYONE comments on your posts claiming any of this and leading you to a fake website (most likely called "verifiction-profile.digital"), DO NOT RESPOND OR PUT IN YOUR INFORMATION! Report and block the message. Your account is NOT restricted whatsoever and you can still use your account just fine.
I don't know if this is a new scam or if people already know about this— and, yes, it pretty obviously seems fake now that I look back on it— but I wanted to make a warning about it anyway in case this is relatively new or anyone finds it useful.
Edit: I've now seen only one or two other people report this, so I'm not the only one that's gotten it. Stay safe out there!
