#phising

In itch io, there is fake advertising of updated demo versions in the comments.

Do not fall for this! This is fake, likely phishing for information or some other kind of scam! 

Example of the scam in the image. 

okay okay, so I was tagged in a post from a Tumblr blog talking about how my account has been "restricted" because of a minor anomaly. meaning that my account was not visible to anyone on Tumblr and was hidden through search.

I stupidly believed it at first and me and a couple of other artists were tagged in the post.

the post provided a link for us to click to "verify authenticity". when I clicked the link it said to me that my funds as a creator was cut off, which is really funny because I dont get paid by Tumblr.

it then asked me to "verify my bank account" and I do not have any bank accounts associated with this account. from there I knew it was a full on scam. luckily I didnt enter my details.

ive reported the account and reblogged on my main raising awareness for other artists out there

here are some screenshots, if you could also report it would be great

one last thing do not click the links whatever you do they are phishing and even if you dont input info when they ask for your details they can and WILL grab your personal info

thank you and stay safe out there my fellas ;)

very sorry to those who got reached while my account was in the hands of someone impersonating Ari Levine

I received this comment and reported this user. It’s a scam/phishing but be very wary. I’d block this user proactively, @/carlkojee

Most of the time if you click a drop down and see the actual email address its really obvious that an email is a scam, even if the contents look legit.

Scammers have been using eventbrite to make themselves appear as verified senders at a glance and I'm 100% sure this has tricked more than a handful of folks.
