Hi, moonbloomsea here.
Scammers are out in the wild :/
Someone came into my dms and said she had accidentally reported me along with her friends, I naively believed her and downloaded discord to speak to a ‘tumblr’s staff’
ITS A SCAM DONT BELIEVE ANYONE!!
I had to delete my email that is linked to my old account but it’s too late as they got my credit card infos….
Please be careful everyone!!
Sadly, I won’t be posting fics anymore.
Oh shoot, I'm sorry it happened to you ;; I hope you managed to block your card before they withdraw money...
I got a similar message on my other account some months ago, the account looked normal so I did reply but the way they were talking was sus so I blocked them and reported, I think scammers gets hold of people accounts now to send such DMs without suspicion.
I understand you're feeling down, but I do hope one day you will find enjoyment to write and post your fics again ;;
To everyone, don't believe any messages like this. Even if someone will accidentally report you etc just wait from official email OR send message/email to official stuff by yourself to ask about it! Never click on suspicious links. I know there was time when on discord your friends would get hacked and send malicious links without saying anything, don't click things like this as well.
Even once I got DM on BlueSky that "I have to verify my account or it will be blocked" at first glance it looked like official account of the stuff but there were some sus things like followers/following numbers, profile not having too much posts etc. So I messaged official account I follow, they didn't reply but the previous account got deleted. So yeah if you're not sure just go to official profiles of the sites and ask about the DM if it true or not.
