Abseden

Updated: 10 May 2026

(TLDR lists to ensure searchability: Commission Scammers | "Accidentally Reported You" Scammers | Tumblr Staff Impersonation Scammers | Misc Scammers/Spammers)

When I started posting the daily drawings from last year's #20252025Challenge, I knew that I'd be getting a lot of fake commission offers.

As and when they come, I call them out in the comments, usually something like "Bugger off [Scam Account Name] you commission scammer!", so that at least if someone searches for that account name they might find a warning.

I also always report them to @staff but until they get removed there's always a chance that someone could fall for their scam. The first few times I reported them it was awkward to find the right option that would allow me to also type in some context, since just the report on the account may not be enough.

Here's how I report them. Go to the account page, click the three dots, click Report, then select Report Something Else, then Spam, and add something along the lines of ...

This account is a fake commission scammer. They target artists, especially new/young/impressionable ones with hopes, and offer a fake commission. The goal is usually to phish for personal information/hack PayPal and other accounts etc. Check their comments/replies to posts and their DMs and you'll find more information.

If they've already blocked me I can't see the three dots as I can't see the profile (and there's no report option if you're not logged in). So in stead of that, I use the abuse reporting page and fill in their URL manually: https://www.tumblr.com/abuse/

If you want to see an example of what the interactions with these scammers might be like, check out this Instagram reel by Shionslife.

There is also the "accidentally reported you" scam which is going around. More information on this type of scam can be seen on this post by @thedumpzone, this BlueSky post by VGen, and this post by @kyra45. In short someone says they need to talk to you about your account and to DM them, they want to talk to you on Discord, they accidentally reported YOU because a scammer has that stole their money has a similar profile & they got their mass followers to report you too, talk to the "Tumblr support" via Discord/Telegram (not via Tumblr), oh no legal action, panic, scary, what to do, give them money and/or your paypal details, scammy scammy scam mc'scam.

Here's the text I add to the report for this scam:

This is a scam account running the "I've accidentally mass reported you, pay me to stop" scam. Check their comments on posts and DMs. The same scam as banned accounts like @altnori, @shylyironlich and @reaperarts ran. See this post: https://www.tumblr.com/thedumpzone/809816990951915520/shylyironlich-altnori-i-assume-you-two-are-on?source=share

I've also added a new post about scammers impersonating the Tumblr helpdesk account, claiming that your account has been restricted. You can read more about the Tumblr Staff Impersonation scam on my post here ( https://www.tumblr.com/darlosworld/814532124800696320/tumblr-help-impersonation-scam ).

Here's the text I add to report this scam:

This account is a Tumblr staff impersonation account. They are flooding the comments of posts to trick people into thinking their accounts are blocked and to click a dangerous link to fix it. They are relying on the email notification system also, so people think they are being emailed by YOU, the Tumblr staff!

To help keep Tumblr safe, here's a list of the Commission Scammers reported so far:
