Alarming news regarding my DeviantArt account! ๐ฑ
3 months ago
I have made an extremely shocking discovery today regarding my DeviantArt account, you guys...
(This journal is a follow-up to this one: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11152622)
Today, after having done some random Google searches, I discovered that earlier this month, my DeviantArt account had apparently gotten hacked, which means that I had gotten tricked this whole time! ๐ฑ
The links that I'll be posting under this line of text have proof of other unassuming DeviantArt users having experienced the (near-exact) same recently:

The user who had messaged me about my account having received numerous reports due to someone else impersonating me, had apparently been a scammer behind a hacked account all this time, much like that one so-called staff member of DeviantArt they had told me to contact - and by the latter of whom I had even been scammed financially big-time! ๐ญ
The other hour, I've sent the real DeviantArt staff an e-mail about how I had gotten hacked earlier this month, and though I've read from several other users who had been hacked before that that process is horribly slow, I still have the absolute highest of hopes that I'll actually be able to get my account back this way... ๐๐ข
Again, please keep me in your thoughts while I'm trying my hardest to work through this utter and even worse hellhole ๐
And to those who are also/still on DeviantArt, please be wary for similar scammers! If you receive near-identical messages to those that I've received myself before getting hacked (see the fourth link for what said messages (could) look like), please report the chats and block the senders straight away! I'm begging you guys!
