some are born to endless night

Scammers are gaining access to legit/established accounts and messaging their followers/people they've previously dm'd to steal money/access to their accounts. This is important because one of the accounts they STOLE @/yetacomis does legit commissions! We've shared email/payment info and she's done this commission for me.

They will contact you telling you that they've reported you and that they've got their friends to report you too in order to scare you. They may even mention they mistook you for another user or provide a fake case number.

Here are the fake/doctored images they sent:

How can you protect yourself?

1. Tumblr will NEVER ask you to contact them via discord for account disputes. If you are banned/suspended/in violation of a rule an automated email will come from a tumblr dot com email address. Any communication with a human is user initiated and comes from their zendesk ticketing system.

2. Turn on 2FA (2-Factor Authentication). This way if you are scammed they will not immediately gain access. Tumblr will NEVER ask for your 2FA code. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR 2FA CODE!!!

Ironically enough I received this message literally 10 minutes before I saw a dm from my moot @ramonathinks telling me she got something similar from a different account @/carlkojee. Here is what she received:

Please comment below any additional compromised accounts and I will add them here.

Here is the list so far:

@/yetacomis

@/carlkojee.

@/bloodymoonkitty

@/somewhereimhappywith

@/duckygrimraw

@/patronsabea

@/agatipdiaysilamaoto

I am reporting them to tumblr as well as the discord user names to discord. But please stay vigilant as these aren't just random accounts.

Again report any accounts who reach out to you immediately, do not click any links from them nor give them ANY of your account information.
