I’ve had a stressful week from April 12th to the 19th. My Tumblr account got banned due to false reports on my account as a result to a scam that had happened to one of my mutuals.
Long story short, they got scammed and thought the scam account was me due to our profile pics being similar and had their friends report me as a result. (I do have screenshots of this interaction, in case I need to provide them).
Note that I’m not mad at or blaming the mutual who falsely reported me, I’m more mad at the scammer and I don’t want them to be harassed.
That mutual reached out to me after realizing that the scam account was not me, filed an appeal, and helped me get into contact with a Tumblr staff member on Discord. I got into contact with them and were very helpful. I did have to pay money to get my account back. however, my bank froze my account believing it was fraud and I was trying to fix all that throughout the week to be like “No, this was me!”
The person who was helping me did say that my case will be pending and that I had time to sort everything out with the bank, which was a relief.
I then got into the process of getting a new account and when I checked Discord, the profile was different and I’m not sure if they deleted their account or not.
Now, I have no idea what to do and I’m not sure if I should create a different account under a different email due to the IP banning thing or if I need to contact someone about this.
I don’t even know if my old account is still there and just collecting dust as my queue keeps going, or if it’s been taken down. I don’t even know if I want to go back to Tumblr anymore after this.
I’m putting this here because I have mutuals and people that I follow that are on Tumblr.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if I’m being a problem or if I did something wrong and I am sorry if I am.
I don’t want to cause trouble or drama, I have no where else to state all of this.

@WeirdestArrow At least I know what happened to it. :D I appreciate your concern. I’m trying to get into contact with someone to get my account back, but no luck so far. This has been stressing me out quite a bit, and I want to get it done as quickly as possible.
