What is with all these follow me and I will promo you scams lately!? Over the years on tumblr I seen a few here & there but I always ignored them, lately my dash is flooded with them!

Out of curiosity I recently tried a few of them, I followed everyone I was supposed to but NOTHING HAPPENED I wasn’t promo’d & I certainly didn’t get a flood of new followers as promised!!!

I hope this trend *cough scam* dies down real soon and we can get back to pretty things on our dashboards!

If you’re getting either spam messages from the “Tumblr Staff…”

1.) Change your profile theme (this is to get rid of the fake pop-up window that appears to other visitors to your blog.)

  • If you don’t want to change it to something else permanently, just change it to something random then change it back to the one you had.
  • If you don’t change your theme, any visitors to your blog who input their logon info into the pop-up window will start spamming messages as well.

2.) CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD! 

  • This will prevent posting spam on your blog without your knowledge.

3.) If you see a pop-up window asking to input your logon info or “verify to see adult content,” DON’T DO IT.

  • It’s spam.

And VERY Annoying!!

It’s called a PHISHING SCAM and it’s prevalent on Tumblr right now, I have unfollowed so many good tumblrs because they started spamming this crap! :(
