I may or may not be in the process of getting hacked. Someone kindly reached out to me to let me know I dm'd a suspicious link and my account (rightfully so) was reported to @staff. I'm still waiting to find out if I'm actually going to get suspended, but I wanted to warn all of you.

If you receive a dm from me that looks like this:

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

I have reason to believe this whole thing was a scam. Seeing as it's past the supposed deadline for tumblr to ban me and I'm uhhhh still here lmao

So for sake of clarity and awareness, here's what happened.

I gained a new follower. Super cool thing! Yippee. I was immediately dm'd by this follower:

The screenshot:

Notice my "username" at the top. Obviously, not my username with that -ALT tacked on at the end. The chat box overall is missing the Settings wheel at the bottom. It's not far out to think this might be a fake screencap, but let's continue.

Sounds scary! This poor person lost money and "almost lost their account" because of a link I had supposedly sent from this account that's not me. Of course, reporting an account like this for phishing is the right thing to do.

The screenshot:

Now, this is where I was getting more skeptical. If I was under such drastic threat to be Banned From Tumblr Dot Com, wouldn't I have also gotten this email to warn me? Seems like I would have if I only had 12 hours to appeal. Spoiler Alert: I never got the email. The 12 hours have obviously passed and I'm still kickin'.

But wait! There's more!

This part just didn't even make any sense to me, but they were asking for my friends' info, as well. That's a no.

There was a continued emphasis to contact the name at the end of the email on discord, which is Always a major flag for scams. Staff on any legit website will only communicate with you through the site, itself, email and/or any other communications You choose to use, if given that option.

Even after saying that I was waiting for The Email and wanted to cross reference it with other communications from @staff, that didn't satisfy our "follower" here. I continued getting messages telling me to message this person on discord and source: trust me bro about the legitimacy of this claim.

Tumblr, itself, even flagged this as sus
