#definitely report + block

[junk-story]

Lmao I got followed by that Masaharu Fukuyama impersonation account, but at least looking into it brought me to your blog for vkei stuff

Hooray, I’m always excited to meet another vkei fan! Happy you’re here ^^

I got the original ask on April 1st and only posted it today thinking it was maybe a friend who’d made an (admittedly pretty niche) joke account to tease me - the Japanese is really obviously just the output of Google translate so I figured I’d take the chance, reply and see if someone fessed up

But no, sadly it’s a spam account that I blocked after they replied again in more bad Japanese lmao

[chloesimaginationthings]

(continuation of previous ask) I looked at their blog just now and they actually might be a bot? idk tbh

Thanks to everyone who’s brought this to my attention!

I’m pretty certain @/jyedthrry6 is a bot, they were uploading commonly reposted text posts, until somehow stumbling into lifting from my account. I think the give away to em being a bot is how they’ve reposted not just my comics, but my patreon announcement images, and images I shared on ask replies, so the same cropped images just on its own

My suggestion is just to report them for spam, cause I think it is a legit spam bot who accidentally got wind of my work 🙏🏾

What is with all these spammy accounts with hundreds of posts that seem to make up the entirety of the posts in the UK politics tag

[andresmounts2]

hey, you might wanna block this person, you’re one of the few that they follow, i’m afraid that they might try to target you

https://www.tumblr.com/crispydreamsong

Thank you for the concern.

I've blocked & reported them before. I genuinely don't understand why people I've blocked can still tag me.

I'm so glad that Tumblr still hasn't done anything despite the fact that I've been getting harassed by multiple people for the past two weeks. (/sar)

I hope all these people know that I'm not scared of them. I don't value the opinion of anyone whose vocabulary only consists of slurs.

honestly my biggest wonder about yesterdays drama was like... who even was that? not the person being called out, but the one calling them out. like, its one thing to make a throwaway to make a callout post, but to go on anon and try to pull unrelated people into it? this was clearly someone still in the taleblr server since they had screenshots from literally the same day in their callout

this isnt me taking sides because genuinely i have more important things to worry about than all that, but its different when it comes to this person because like... i just thought yall were different than that? maybe we all dont totally consider eachother friends entirely but i liked to think we were all somewhere around there for the most part

theres only so many of us and we all try to stay chill (to more or less success) because like... theres probably less than 100 of us left, and we're all adults by now as far as i know, and i know age doesnt really equal maturity, but its just so immature to try and stir drama by messaging unrelated parties.

honestly even if the person told me in private who they were its not like id make shit worse by posting about them or something because, again, i have bigger things to worry about, im just curious at this point. its not even an obligation for them to come forward, im just admitting that im curious.

if anything all i have to say is be the bigger person and block and move on when you dont like someone or something someone did. i get that you saw stuff that you found gross and you wanted everyone to feel the same way you did, but the rest of us just want to live our lives. plus i think the people that were messaged arent even in the discord so it was honestly even weirder to do that

ive had my fair share of seeing things that made me feel gross to see or read or know about, like, seriously i found out one of my friends was a pedo last year (and i promptly blocked the cunt). but it doesnt do anything to pull other people into the mess and try to start shit.

basically, just be more mature, cause i know yall are better than that. you dont have to read fics that you dont like, and you dont have to interact with people you dont like. your online experience is yours and the best option is always to block and move on. ive had my fair share of drama, and all it does is ruin peoples days, and not much else.

my biggest point, honestly, is that this is such a small fandom and i dont want whats left to come crashing down because some drama makes everyone left hate it here. i dont care whos right or wrong because literally whatever its internet drama, i just dont want this community to die out.

HOT TRENDY CHALLENGE

LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE

I have blocked this scam 4,198 times too many

I have do not beg for money ON MY BLOG DESCRIPTION BECAUSE OF SCAMS LIKE YOU

F U C K O F F

[thatofabeavers]

what is with all of these "hiring" posts

they're all the same listing by various diff people

not even reblogged

just reposted

[nazmazh]

You are a lying scambot.

Get blocked and reported, and go to hell for trying to bilk kind and generous people out of what little money they have.

*****

Common scam tells: Blog as a whole has little activity, period - None before 2 days ago, all of which is reblog of popular tags and emotionally-charged causes; Appealing to minority identity (in and of itself not always bad or false - But just the way it's tossed so casually into the bio; Bio in this case tangentially mentions insulin, which is what the bot/scammer is trying to claim they're begging for, but in many cases, I've seen the bio expressly have the same begging ask, often with a header/profile image of a hospitalized person or someone definitely with a medical device of some sort;

The Big Tell - Randomly sending a begging ask to someone they've had no personal interaction with whatsoever prior to this point. Generally, even when people on this site are campaigning for their own legitimate crowdfunding stuff, they post it to their own timelines, and maybe put a bunch of relevant tags onto it. They might ask people they know, or who are known boosters of crowdfunding things to reblog it. What they don't do is barge into the asks of random strangers.

And if they are doing that? Even if they're "more-legit" seeming than an easily spotted fake - Still don't fucking trust them. Be incredibly suspicious of anyone you don't personally have a long-established relationship with hitting you up for money. Even if you do have that relationship -

Still be suspicious.

One, they could have had their accounts compromised, if you want to believe the best in your internet friend.

Two, pig-butchering doesn't necessarily have to be someone looking for a greedy, naive dipshit to fall for a fake crypto scam after being buttered-up and having their egos flattered. If the angle of "But don't you see, I'm your friend? Won't you help me with this condition?" works better on you, personally, than the former, they'd absolutely try that instead/too.

Three, even if they are who they say they are on the surface, and not just someone trapped in a fraud-factory overseas, forced to try and catfish and scam people, there's always the possibility that they are, just a plain-old, homegrown scammer.

Trust *nothing* and *nobody* on the internet. Doubly so if you don't actually know who they are. Doubly-so if they contacted you out of the blue. Infinitely-more-so if there's any sort of monetary ask involved.

Hey! If you are following me or just passing through to browse, thank you and I wanted to let you know I am really grateful you are here!

The internet isn’t my favorite thing and I tend to not want to participate due to the slightest possibility of negativity but people have commented some nice things on my posts and I appreciate it immensely.

Looks like the cat scammers have moved on from poor old macaroni and are now claiming to have a cat named king to get your money, keep an eye out and remember to check blog age and other suspicious tells y'all!
