Spammers/phishing bots are always looking for new ways around the system, and this appears to be their latest one. Notice how it appears to have been submitted by my own account, despite the fake email address.
Do not, under any circumstances, click a link that leads to “tumblrlinks.com” - It is straight up malicious and will infect your computer if you don’t have virus protection. If you receive a submission like this, do not publish it. Shoot an email off to support@tumblr.com and let them know.

Hearing word of new kinds of Tumblr phishing attempts going around, including submissions from … yourself. This sounds quite scary. Be careful not to publish things like this when you don’t know the original source.

Yes, this is what happened to me yesterday.
