As many of you are probably aware, there are a lot of scammers on tumblr right now. One of my tumblr friends has unfortunately just been scammed out of a large sum of money in excess of $3000 from a tumblr scammer, and is now having to deal with reporting fraud to their bank in the hopes to get their money back. Their tumblr account was also hacked and deleted by the scammer.

My message to you: DO NOT TRUST ANYONE who messages you directly claiming that they accidentally reported your account instead of someone else's. They ask you to use Discord, or email, to speak with tumblr support staff...except it isn't real support staff. They then hack and delete your account and blackmail you into sending them money to recover your account. If anyone comes into your DMs saying anything like this (and it usually starts with a simple "hi" message before they start the scam) REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY.

I have been getting these scam messages a minimum of 3 or 4 times every single day. I report every account that does it. You should too. Report and block, simple as that.

And please, if you have a moment...REBLOG THIS SO IT REACHES AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. I do not want anyone else to go through losing money like my friend did. Look after each other by warning your tumblr followers of this scam, because not everyone is aware of it yet.

While Jaune took this badly because he used false transcripts to get into Beacon Academy, there is another way to look at it. Rather than solving the problem (Getting into Beacon) with arduous physical effort (Combat training) he used a more indirect method (Obtaining fraudulent credentials) to get it done. This would foreshadow Jaune's role not as a direct combatant, but as a strategist who can look at a situation from a different perspective.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- VShojo, the San Francisco–based talent agency known for managing some of the most popular Virtual YouTubers (VTubers), is scrambling to contain what insiders describe as "total damage control". Sources say the company plans to shut down its entire VTuber division, effectively as early as next week.

The crisis erupted when Ironmouse, a Puerto Rican-American VTuber and co-founder of VShojo announced her departure, accusing the agency of mismanaging over U$D500,000 in charitable donations raised for the 'Immune Deficiency Foundation' (IDF). She stated, in a video statement on YouTube (Google's parent company 'Alphabet'), that VShojo illegally kept the money meant to be donated to her charity cyclethon, travel funds and personal income. Less than a few hours after her announcement, Ironmouse deleted her profile on the VShojo website and clarified that she is taking legal actions from their respective attorneys.

Almost immediately, the agency's talent lineup began to unravel. On the English side: 'AmaLee', 'Apricot', 'Haruka', 'Hime Hajime', 'Kuro Kurenai', 'Michi Mochievee' and 'Projekt Melody' have all scrubbed VShojo branding from their social channels and declared plans to go fully independent. In Japan: 'Henya the Genius', 'Hestia Happiness', 'Hotaru Akatsuki', 'Kson', 'Nagi Okamoto' and 'Peke Yutori' have followed suit. Even members of the "VShojo Nova" sub-group namingly 'Hestia', 'Hotaru', 'Nagi' and 'Peke' are cutting ties and stepping into indie careers.

The agency's official store was taken offline this week, and its social feeds have fallen eerily radio silent. Meanwhile, law enforcement in Puerto Rico, California and the United Kingdom have opened probes into possible donation fraud, unpaid talent fees, breach of contracts and other unlawful business practices. Agencies involved include the 'Departamento de Justicia de Puerto Rico' (DJPR), the 'United States-Department of Justice' (US-DOJ), the U.K.'s National Crime Agency (NCA) and Action Fraud (AF).

Out of any talent and with regulators breathing down its neck, VShojo will officially shut down its VTuber division next week, signaling the end of its involvement with the VTuber industry.
