Accidentally reported youâ scam
(âAccidentally reported youâ scam)
So itâs just another day on tumblr when a beloved mutual suddenly DMs you (or a random stranger) claiming that someone impersonated you and has scammed them out of (insert money amount here it changes often) be it art or crypto or because of content related to CP. They tell you theyâve accidentally reported you by mistake and that the only way to clear up this issue is to contact someone on discord,Microsoft teams, or a random email account. They even show a screenshot claiming your account was reported for fraudulent activity and action must be taken within 24hrs or else your blog will be terminated. You just need to contact the âofficialâ report dispute discord account in a timely manner and clear everything up or contact the âofficialâ Microsoft teams account!
You panic! You donât want to lose your blog so you immediately DM the discord account (or the Microsoft Teams account) who begins asking you questions before ultimately asking you to change your email address to theirs so they can âfixâ the flag on your account. All is well, and you assume that the false report is going to be cleared upâŚRight?
Unfortunately no. Thatâs not what happens.
You get locked out of your account and now the scammer logs in as you and starts to send the same message to anyone and everyone they find. The same message that now you accidentally reported the receiver and you need them to contact the same discord account to repeat the same process over and over again and you yourself seem to have no way of accessing your blog to stop the phishing. But donât fear! You can fix this! Just contact the real support email and let them know youâve been hacked and give them any information they may ask to confirm your the real owner of the blog.
Here are things to keep in mind:
- There is no official report dispute discord account ran by tumblr that isnât a thing and has never been.
- Any discord account claiming to an official tumblr report dispute staff account is a scammer.
- You do not need to ever contact Discord for a tumblr related issue no matter how official the screenshot looks.
- This scam can affect anyone, even your friends. Keep them informed and if you can contact them offsite to let them know theyâve been hacked please do so they can get their account back faster.
- Reports are handled through the official tumblr tech support line and will never be through discord. (Link is to tumblr help center)
- Support center is not: Gmail,yahoo,outlook,Microsoft teams,discord,etc.
hey folks i think @simmetrybby may have been hacked because i just got this "accidentally reported you" message from them. if anyone knows a way to contact them outside of tumblr and let them know, please do! also keep an eye out for similar messages since i guess this is going around again.
Beware of scammers on any social media.
