I'm definitely worried about that scam post that got your account deleted. I'm not sure what you mean by a scam post so I would definitely like to see the screenshots when you get to that. Sounds like you got your main account back though. Phew
Hello! Thanks for reaching out cause I wanted to make a post with receipts about this scam anyway and you're reminding me now. :)
As of now, I have not gotten my old account back though. Let's wait and see… 🤞🤞
Verification Scam Warning ⬇️
The left image above shows the scam post I'm referencing. Real tumblr support would not ask you to verify via a certain post, it wouldn't even be actually helpful that way imo. Verification happens via emails, 2FA via SMS or maybe Whatsapp and they'll send you a single use code or link. But in fact not with a public post that offers the exact same link to everyone.
I accidentally clicked on the "Action Required" link you see at the end of the screenshot with my clumsy fingers and glanced at a fake "tumblr desktop" website for like 30 seconds. Then immediately turned back to the tumblr app and got error messages left and right with any click. Thought I'd better log out and in again but then my account was suddenly gone. 🕳 Therefore please be careful when reading/ scrolling such posts so you don't click any links. I only saw the post because I (along with dozens of other users) was tagged in the comments.
The right image above is of my blocklist but it's only a part of the accounts involved. If you search for support + 1 - 9 you'll probably find more of these accounts.
Below are images of two example blogs doing the scam shit. They all have the same icon, blog title and a similar description.
