Tumblr Phishing Scam via Discord

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Someone contacted me on Tumblr claiming they reported me by mistake and told me to contact a "Security Assistant" on Discord in order to resolve the issue. During this process, the scammer tricked me into changing my account's email address by posing as Tumblr Support on Discord, and I can no longer log in or reset my password. Now, when I try to use your support form, it rejects me because my original email is no longer linked to the account. I realised this is a scam but too late... I wrote an email to the official Tumblr support but I still have no answer - almost 20 hours passed. I am super scared that they will delete my account and I will never have access to it again. I am also super anxious if my email even reached them. Why don't I have an answer for so long?
