Description

I was messaged by a stranger on Tumblr who said they accidentally reported my account for fraud, and sent me a link to a fake Tumblr tech support to contact on Discord, to prevent losing my account. The scammer made me send them my birthdate, country, and bank transactions, before making me send them money on PayPal, CashApp and MoneyGram to keep my account and IP address. At first, the scammer cancelled the transactions on PayPal and CashApp, all to different names based in the Philippines, but refused to cancel the MoneyGram transaction, and I lost $2,000.
