How to spot a scam blog
A very simple guide to figuring out if the blog messaging you is a scam:
Was you sent an ask within some time of sharing a specific type of post such as a trending topic or subject? - Usually scam accounts target particular posts and will spam asks to everyone who shared it. The ask may relate to certain events going on or more. These asks are always sent to many users all at once so it’s suggested to tumblr search part of the ask and see if its been sent by other accounts labeled as a scam or accounts with similar style.
Is the account relatively new? - More often than not, the accounts sending the asks are about a week old or even newer. They haven’t been made too long ago and often send asks within hours of being made. If you have timestamps turned on, you’ll be able to see the date something was posted. A fresher account is usually not going to be one who’s finding you unless they are searching tags and saw your blog.
How many posts are on the account? - Scam accounts rarely have many posts on their blogs beyond the initial pinned post. All their posts, being very few are very little, are most often just posts from a trending topic they looked up or a popular tag they decided to look through. They will share only a few and then make no further posts. This is to pad out their blog to make it look used but it’s easy to see how new the blog is if you scroll to the end.
Are the shared posts fitting a theme? - Scam accounts try to share posts based on the scam they’re trying to run. This means they’ll share posts related to the topic of their choosing and then stop once they’ve shared a few. Most of these posts come from the OP themselves and not from someone the blog is following though in rare cases they’ll find a person to reblog from so they don’t look suspicious.
Are the reblog dates accurate? - If you use timestamps, find a post the blog shared and check ‘Other notes’ and see if the reblog date matches the date that is listed on the blog itself. Often, scammers will backdate posts to make them look much older then they really are in an attempt to deceive people into thinking they’ve used tumblr for months or years.
Is the url auto-generated? - Not always seen from a scam account, but scammers often just use auto-generated usernames because it’s quick and easy to do. But real accounts may have these too. It’s just a thing to keep in mind.
Is the url familiar or similar to one you’ve seen before? - Scammers often try to copy their older accounts by using usernames based around previous scam attempts. It becomes obvious after about a while and usually makes it easy to figure out the scammer is back again. This isn’t always from scam accounts as regular accounts may do this for reasons.
How often do you get asks? - If you barely get asks and suddenly keep getting mutual aid asks it’s very likely you’re just a scammers latest target and they’ll keep spamming asks. This means you’ll consistently get the same style of asks from a brand new account that shouldn’t know you unless they found you in tags. You will keep getting these asks on a daily basis. You will eventually always get these asks.
Did they request you to message them directly? - On rare occasions a scam account will want you to send them a direct message and then they’ll just ask you for thousands of dollars on the spot.
Does your bio say no mutual aid asks? - Scammers don’t read/don’t care they will ignore that and send you asks anyway that won’t stop them.
Short version: More often than not the blog asking you for money is a scam if you don’t usually get asks for money from brand new accounts.

Matpat is leaving Game Theory and I'm just sitting here reheating pizza and listening to his goodbye video and I'm just
Tumblr media
I'm hearing him talk about the channel and his viewers and I'm not angry at him for leaving, I'm just so glad he was here to make the things he has. I hope whatever direction the Theory channels go in are good ones.

Apparently calling out the tokenization of minorities by imperialist powers counts as "sexually explicit"

I saw this going around on reddit but not tumblr so I figured I'd share it here.
Tumblr media
The image was posted by Danielle herself and can be seen here. This symbol is associated with Liberty Fund, a far right American think tank that credits themselves as partially responsible for Ronald Reagans presidential campaign.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Danielle has claimed that it's not related and is the cuneiform symbols for "freedom" and "liberty", but ask yourself, do you really trust her to tell the truth? She's revised her campaign promises multiple times, continues to condone private healthcare despite signing a measure to protect public healthcare. I'm just saying it wouldn't be a stretch to guess she might be funded by them, afterall she has some pretty damn uncanadian ideas that parallel those across the border.

In honor of Spooky Season, this is yet another PSA that McKamey Manor is a scam and a cult. The so-called "scariest haunted house in America" is not a haunted house, it is a janky yard to which the sadistic creep known as Russ McKamey lures victims with the potential of a cash prize, assaults these people to the point of hospitalization and disability, and will do anything to ensure he never has to pay the prize money.
Do check out the youtube channel Reckless Ben, where they are currently in the process of exposing this scam. They are far from the first to try, but have gotten close enough that they are currently being sued by Russ. Unfortunately, shady business has youtube suppressing this content so it hasn't blown up as it should have. I won't go into specifics here because there's too much history, but it is a wild ride and an issue that is in desperate need of more recognition. So please look this up and reblog. Whether you're in it for the entertainment or because it's an important cause that's way overdue, I really don't care, the word just needs to get out.

As of 2/18/2024, here a masterlist of all the removed accounts belonging to a scammer who is taking information off Palestine fundraisers/pretending to be in Palestine. If any of the accounts contacted you and you donated, please be aware it was a scam and the funds weren’t going to someone in Palestine. It’s unknown which country this scammer is in since their PayPal links aren’t to a direct account.

This scammer has been at this since the start of February and hasn’t shown any signs of stopping. If they messaged you via DMs, please share (with public info redacted) what they said if you had asked them anything.

Important information to keep yourself safe and happy on Tumblr.
With recent events that have transpired to a valued member of our community regarding very rude and disrespectful anon asks I did some research and have found a useful tip to stop this from happening, whilst also still having anon available for those who use it because they are shy/prefer to stay private etc when nicely interacting with others.
Some people may already know about this, I had heard about it before but I didn't know how you actually did it. But basically you can block users who send anonymous asks that are just plain awful. I think there's many methods to do it but here is one that I think is especially useful. Originally figured out by @odiomnibusvobis
In order to do this it's best to use Firefox as a browser.
Right click on the anon icon of the hate ask
Select the view page source, refreshing if it isn't clickable.
When the second page pops up press Crtl + F and type "submitted"
Highlighted in blue it'll show you the anon's URL and with that you can be free to block them!
This needs to be used more by everyone because anonymous asks is useful for those who need it but we can't keep letting it be misused by horrible people to think they can use it to freely say whatever shit they want.
Keep yourselves safe. You're all valid and important and don't deserve to be treated with no respect.
