Beware: Tumblr Scam

We’ve all been “added” by Tumblr users that are obviously fake pages.

However, recently I got added by an account that redirected me to a new login page that looked exactly like Tumblr’s page.  It asked me to re-enter my username and password, since this new follower had adult content.  But if you look closely, the URL is not part of Tumblr. 

I believe this is a scam, to steal passwords.  Don’t fall for it!

Update from Tumblr Support:  “You may have recently seen other Tumblr blogs showing a Tumblr login page and claiming to need to revalidate your account credentials in order for you to see adult content. This login page is a fake. Please do not enter your login credentials into such a page….”

Winding upward through the hills, we reach a bridge that spans a large open space. Children stand tall, their toes and hands woven into the fence, eager to glimpse the huge animal.   The elephant is serene, yet busy.  Its trunk roots constantly through the plentiful food at its feet.  Just last week, I am told, three of them stood pressing their shoulders against the closed gate, eager to leave the open arena and return indoors.   standing at the pondan elephant, alonedry grass, an open cage (Illustratation by author — pencil on paper, then digitally colored.
