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.
