Discord and scams are like peanut butter and jelly. No matter where you are on Discord: femboy hangout servers, genshin impact servers, or the worst of the worst, my server, you will be a target of a scam at some point.
Now unfortunately for the sake of my sanity, there are a lot of very common Discord scams that people still fall for. Like 50% of my DMs are about scams that I have already talked about (it got so bad I just use keyboard macros to copy and paste responses). To save myself, I made a video showing you common discord scams to look out for.
So now whenever someone sends me a DM about a scam, I can just send them this video. HOWEVER, I can't just be selfish about all of this. So uhh, you can also send this to your tech-illiterate Discord friends so they can learn how to not get scammed on Discord!

The irony of discord having so many scams problems and yet they still have that "joins server for you" for bot 💀
The odd thing is that they ban victims for it too when it is invoked.
Usually things like that keeps some sort of log every time a permission like that is used. So if a user appeals it and goes "my account joined these servers against my will," it would be easily verifiable by greping the said log. But no, they can't do that so they just don't allow appeals.
I had this conversation about the "joins server for you" permissions with some devs. Tell yourself that I was still the only one skeptical about the utility of this permission.
@@lewizooo I still wonder why the yagpdb bot has it.
well the permission is useful for bots like Patreon bot so when you support someone on patreon, it joins their assigned server. but yea keep an eye on any other bots that might have it and remove them
@@ansemik Patreon bot, thats the only utility i also found yeah
Rule 1: don't click on random links.
Rule 2: If a friend (or even a stranger randomly sends you anything out of the ordinary such as "i accidentally reported you" report them to discord.
Let's skip to R34
Rule 34: if it exists, there's nsfw of it, no matter what
@@paolarei4418This is NOT relevant!!
@@paolarei4418bro skipped a couple rules💀🙏
Rule 3: turn off dms.
If they accidentally reported you, purposefully report them
"A accidently reported you to discord" -your smart friend
-dumbarse scammer
Ain‘t nothing gonna happen anyways - it‘s f***ing Discord
Accidentally reported your steam account is another fun scam
It happened to me and I hate myself for it
Man i fell for it, im such a idiot
I've had easily a half-dozen people try the "oops, I think I accidentally reported you to Valve/Steam". They crack me up. Every time they claim it's for an exchange made through a game community involving a game I don't even own. Helps to not own any games that allow for player-to-player exchanges of digital goods.
Sammee, i started calling them out as scammer etc, and they block me instant
Yea its like its for illegal game content trading for CS Go or Team Fortress 2 and its like I dont even play them games so big false.
I do like to play along and waste a few minutes of their day. Every minute wasted could potentially save a true victim
i almost fell for one of these LMFAO
i eventually figured it out and just stole the account and now i use it as my main 😭😭
OOPS!! I accidentally reported you to RUclips/Google man!!! I'm so sorry look at this proof: \\Google: We gonna ban Blakkrazor69//
Give me your credit card number and password, i will send it to google and they will not ban you
As someone actually into game development, with friends also involved in game development, the "test my game" scam is absolutely the worst. Discord's file sharing was really handy for sending unfinished builds and assets back and forth but now it's so strongly associated with scammers.
i acutally fell for that scam since I have a friend who IS going into game development, he got hacked from that (he also has dev friends, so its a big ol loop), but the scammer was so fucking stupid I still had complete access to my account, they tried to buy nitro but i had no money whatsoever in my bank so it didnt work. managed to delete the malware, change my passwords and I was fine.
@@fatknuts Same situation here. They took so long trying to threaten me into sending them money that by the time they finally started to try and do stuff with my accounts I had changed all the passwords. Deleted malware and ended up just being an annoyance during finals
This happend to the dev of a steam game called "bean battles" and they updated the game with malware. bad times
@@fatknutswow. I had the same situation about a year ago. I had nitro at the time(yearly), and the idiot tried to buy the $3 version of nitro. But I always pay my nitro with gift cards. It was a fucked up situation. They ended up messaging 4 people on my account trying to attempt the same thing to those people, lucky I was able to make those 4 people not click the link. The person ended up getting banned.
Im currently going through the same thing rn.
One of my mutuals had DMed me about a fake game called "Legacy Souls" which was just a token grabber in disguise, and now im stuck waiting for discord support to get off their butts and do something.
Crazy thing is, my mutual was able to get their account back, along with another friend who got hacked because of my dumb actions, and yet I'm still locked out of my account.
General rule for internet scams: if it's too good to be true, it is. Also, if it's banking on a time limit and fear, like the fake report scam, then it's using that to scare you out of thinking straight and into falling for it.
If you are already not thinking straight cuz you are rushing, stress becomes panic. And it's even easier to fall for scams in those circumstances.
It helps to not put yourself in that scenario but it can happen to anyone.
Time limits, fear, and being panicked into making bad decisions?!? This isn't anything new...It's been the core of UK foreign policy for over 750 years! ⚔🇬🇧😉
The steam account one worked on me. I got my account back but I wasn’t thinking straight due to a fear factor
I'm a mod in a server, and the admins above us once thought it would be a great idea for April Fools Day to pretend they got hacked and that the hacker would be sending fake Nitro links, only they would send actual real Nitro. Me and the other mods panicked so hard, trying to figure out how to keep the server safe, and the admins backpedaled really quickly after that
As funny as it seems. It also would be easy way to condition children/teens into falling for scams easier
It's very funny and *almost* a good idea lol. But not quite
free nitro is nitro
@@CranicVT Giving out free Nitro is like driving around in a white van and asking kids if they want candy. 99.9% chance you gonna get kidnapped. There aint no free things in this world
@@user-pe6ct7ut8t what does that have to do with my comment lol
Well I guess it's a modern day miracle because I haven't encountered a fake Nitro bot.
I didn't encounter fake nitro one but I did encounter all other ones lol.
Same. By the grace and glory of Jesus
I have not either 😁 waiting for the day
Same, maybe because i don't join in 30 thousand servers
Same
I haven’t come across a scammer yet.
I'm really disappointed in myself for both falling for the fake nitro and the " I accidentally reported you on steam" scams
someone tried scamming me but it was obvious that it was fake so i was just rapidly telling them that they're a scammer they denied it until i gave up and just blocked them and unblocked them and they never dmed me again lol😆
I almost fell for steam one, but checked at first before clicking the give access to my steam accout in USA. I checked after that with real support, i guess they are banned
dumb ass
@@BurglackOK About ~3 years ago, I got that "Accidentally reported you to Steam" scam and nearly fell for it too. The only thing is, I trust Valve a lot, so I thought that Valve wouldn't just ban me because some guy mass-reported me or something, so I never followed through the scam.
In hindsight, I should've done more to troll them.
i fell for the steam one but that dumbass of a scammer deleted my username and description but not my account 💀💀
so i still have my account with a more secure password
Discord needs to add a banner in dms that says: discord, valve, riot will never reach out to you in dms, ask for personal info or ask you to scan a qr code code. Or sth like this
Exactly they need to dumb it down😂
I actually had the "I accidentally reported you" scam. The user then suggested to contact the support and this "support" guy than requested me to change my Email to a specific Email. He also didn't have any moderator badge. It was at that point I blocked and reported him.
That one happened to me and I got to the change email part before I realized and I logged them out + added a security key then went to discord report and changed email back, I feel stupid for falling for it 💀
@Sunny-lr6cn kind of how hackers/scammers gets the more savvy peeps. One lapse of judgemet is all it takes
@@Sunny-lr6cni did that but discord support hasnt helped me change the email back and its been a month and a half. “we have an entire team working to help you” ok then why do my friends have their accounts back already and not mine?
@@Plaguecoric same thing happening here as well..
I just got it today on discord
Also to add: Discord never answers in less than 2 weeks
True it's mostly months.
Today on another episode of
PLEASE DISCORD, REMOVE THE "JOIN SERVERS FOR YOU" permission...
I can't believe it is still a problem... like when was your first video about this, over a year ago? *sigh*
Honestly the only function I can see for the feature is for the discord bots. Otherwise, why would anyone need to give external access to manage your account?
oh yes, because the problem is the permission and not people who don't think just for a second the implications of that
well the permission is useful for bots like Patreon bot so when you support someone on patreon, it joins their assigned server. but yea keep an eye on any other bots that might have it and remove them
@@minecrafter9099 In 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of cases that permission uses for scamming and other horrible things. So it really shouldn't be a thing.
@@ansemik There is multiple other ways to solve that without this specific permission tho.
That game tester scam shocked me, so there was a friend i had which i no longer talked too, and he sent me a file telling me it was a game he created, i just didn't download it because my other friends told me to not do it, this happens probably 2 years ago and this video made me remember that incident, i'm so glad that my other friends told me to not download that file because i was so dumb back then.
I once downloaded a zip file from a hacker though i didn't do anything further. Though it was my phone so different way to hack it with wat they were doing
I almost fell for #5 a couple years ago. I was 99% sure it was a scam the whole way through, but I had so little self confidence at the time that I allowed the 1% to drive me until I finally cut the crap at the last possible moment. So glad my confidence has grown since then.
"Butthole jumpscare" was not on today's bingo card lmao
10:18 I love how the current Polish president is trying to scam me.
Same
Can't believe anyone these days
Fell for the last one a while ago since my friend that had dmed me was actually working on a game, knew it was malware when all my operation systems flagged it. Was not fun changing all my passwords and taking my computer to best buy to have it wiped, was extremely stressful. I truly don’t wish that kind of thing on anyone because it freaked me out so much.
TO BEST BUY?? Brother run a Kaspersky scan and leave it closed the rest of the time.
@@Weneedaplague DW DW THE VIRUS IS GONE LMAO I ASSURE YOU MY COMPUTER AND PASSWORDS ARE FINE
@@beetlewashere_ what?
Sometimes I like to entertain these scammers and myself. Acting, questioning, being stupid etc. Really get the most out of their time for nothing while I cut my time and enjoy them trying their maximum to scam me lol.
WTF you talking about they don't talk back they are bots if you send them a message they just send the keylogger link again lol.
@@basillah7650 If its a bot they won't respond or set up automated message. But not every one does that so yes they do respond but i don't try to mess with everyone. Just when I'm bored
There was one scam that went as the following:
Edit: its called "baiting" not scam
Random DM: What is 5x2
you: 10
(they edit their message to "how old are you")
Random DM: how old are you?
you: 10
Makes it look like your 10, but I said "5 * 2 = 10". Blocked and reported spam as well. I got screenshots
I’d reply with 5x2 = 10
Already covered in a previous video
that's not a scam, scamming is when they steal money from you.
not a scam, that's just a 12 yr old trying to ban your discord account
Discord gets reply context and edit logs for reports so that won't do anything (that's not a scam, that's called baiting btw)
Finally, I can grab this video and send it to the scammer & say...
I'm a bit busy; why not watch this video until I get back
I love getting scammed by the owner of discord
Apparently discord is not English too

Another thing that I feel you should have mentioned on how to protect your Steam account is putting your Steam account under "family mode" where you must use a Pin to even go into Steam settings and change any information or play any games. Very useful feature.
Someone tried the "i accidentally reported you" scam on me on steam, except it was just some random guy who I'd never talked to previously and didn't have any games in his library. He wasn't very good at the whole scamming thing.
Must've been a rookie, lol
i got that “3000 dollars” scam dm some days earlier and pondered if it was a scam. now i have absolute confirmation it is lol
Keep it simple.
If it's too good to be true, then it probably is a scam.
Never trusting anyone again. I got sent a request for someone to get an achievement on a game called "First Dwarf" and it took 2 months for Discord to reinstate my email. I am now less stupid but more cynical.
Remember!
No good artist will ever contact you asking you to commission them.
I've had exactly one exception to this - but it was because i'd commissioned her before and she was notiftying me of a sale.
same. almost fell to that trick, but luckily another user had something similar to the case I had.
different username, same PFP. so I told the other user that had the same problem as me to just report it
Amen.
I used to get those a lot but didn't realise they were scammers, I genuinely thought they were just desperate to get someone to commission their shit. I was safe though because every single time it happened I just told them I don't need to commission shit.
@@thequ5914 Now that I've been made aware of this... I actually just straight up gave them a follow on Twitter and said that I too, am an artist trying to get around this world, and therefore are broke.
It just dawned on me that they might be a scammer. Their Twitter page seemed legit though.
Thank you for making these videos. It was because of you that I was able to recognise the "Download My Game" scam when I got it from a fellow student in a uni discord. I like to believe that by being able to share your video in that discord, naming and shaming the stolen account, I was able to stop someone else from getting scammed/hacked.
scammer that used "I accidentally report you" scam on my old account a while back legit tried to impersonate me with my connections
16:16 - Damn, Adventure Quest. That's a name I haven't heard in _years._ Of all things to use as a name for your scam 'game'...
Of all games. 😂
I caught two scammers in the past week lmao. Thanks for keeping your community aware of discord scams and IP grabbers ❤
(4:40) This is also why having not English as your language is very useful. As soon as the login is in English, it's a scam. Of course it can still be a scam even if translated, but this is a very big clue.
I come from the country that invented English 🇬🇧 and trust me, it's been the crux of scams *long* since before the Internet was invented... 💷🐒😉
But aye; Even if you do use English as your main language ( _Aber daß mein erste wahl nicht..._ 🇩🇪❤🔥😉) having your OS set to a non-English language really helps with scam spotting. The less widely spoken the language¹, the better! 💱🇭🇺👍
(¹ - Mandarin, Spanish and French all have wide global fluency and might become more viable targets for scams as time goes on. For this reason less widely spoken languages - Hungarian, Polish, Welsh, etc - Are better choices if you can make use of them. 🇵🇱🛡👍)

Thank you for exposing the fake artist scams. I have a list of over 90 of them that have tried to scam me. It's extremely annoying.
The worst is that those illustrator scams are very common on servers for writers. Because not too many people would suspect them immediately there, since in very limited scenarios illustrators can be related to writing. (yeah i won't call them "artists" because the proper name for it would be illustrators, if they weren't scammers)
They don't know their characters in their profile pic nor relevant characters. That is a big red flag.
As an actual game developer, number 6 sucks that it exists and I have to resort to my friends only testing my ACTUAL game
I don't know how it works, but maybe you could upload your game on Steam and then have people download your game on Steam? That way you can still have random people testing your game and they can be assured that it's not malware
@aronasmundurjonasson3175 there has been cases where malware can get through steam so that isn't a foolproof situation
Why not offer a free demo (or early build) on some site or something? Last time I checked, there were a few that let you do that.

I fell for the "I have reported your Discord account" scam weeks ago. I filled a ticket and have been constantly replying to the ticket's email, adding new screenshots and evidence to help my case. They have not replied yet. 2 days after I filled the ticket they said that they have escalated my ticket and that they could not confirm when they would get back to me. It has been so long and the hacker keeps using my account to scam other people. Please, help.
Same
Literally just experienced Scam #5 for the first time today XD
The compromised account thought it could trick me. How naive to assume I haven't dealt with countless scammers before, and I take no shit from them.
hey can someone pls tell me why do these scammers even scam people for discord accounts? u can just make it for free when ever u want with ez?
I actually had someone try to hack me with the "I accidentally reported you". i just blocked them lmao. Sub earned!
My online friend fell for the fake verification scam recently and he spammed that exact fake Steam card link to every channel of every server he was in, including DMs. Needless to say, he got banned from almost every server.
I know we're all hardcore Discord users who would never fall for a scam, but please educate your friends too.
Funny thing, dev of the game that Im currently translating send me same message with "50$ for steam". I was like "Oh, cool", but then I clicked on the link and it asked me to log in, I checked in other tab am I logged in, and I AM, so that was obviously a scam.
I wonder where dude got scammed for his account.
Always loving seeing idiots clicking those scams, and then complain getting hacked 💀
In TL pro server there's a lot of hacked users that send only fans links repeatedly😂
I'm an admin in a smallish public server (~2200) and I ban probably 3-5 art scammers per day. It's insane. It's always the art scammers, too.
I've seen servers with 10-100 peoples at max, your server is actually giant btw
Once again, thanks for a video. Scams are getting crazy in few last months not even talking how many people fall for them. Few days ago, I got DMed out of where by some random guy joined on "Roblox Military RP" (You heard me right), and got asked if I can cover his imaginary company and being talking buddy for 1000$, while taking care of my needs. I instantly just closed that DM and started to laugh so badly that this was real. Over last 7 years on Discord, this was most funny one.
10:04 OH NO HE LOST TO THE INFECTION
Not from a Discord scam, but I've already seen a BITB Steam login page that I was able to drag around :D
Also even if we ignore the first scam, the third is like.... wtf.... Shame on discord for not blocking this years ago, they could stop it so fkin easily ._.
Even if you can drag it around you likely won't be able to move it out of the website.
@@tovarishcheleonora8542 Yes, I forgot to include that.
I think I once came across that, only the BITB window was... wrong. I wasn't using Windows 10 at the time which threw me off hard.
@@re57k The BITB browsers also won't correctly relay accessibility settings like the legitimate site loaded in its own window will, so if you're using certain accessibility functions the two become vastly distinct. ♿👍
I remember the first time i saw that "i reported you" scam. I saved myself by going to discords actual help page. Pissing off the scammer something fierce lol
As someone getting into gamedev, that last one is terrifying
16:38 there is a real game series called Adventure Quest made by Artix Entertainment it's a long running RPG series that has been around for over 20 years
the last scam.... i didn't know of it and it is nightmare, cuz i am making my own games and i am sending it to my friends to play test. Soooo.... GG for these guys like me x_x
Could maybe msg them on another app as verification or so
I just want to say thank you for making these videos about these scams. I've personally fallen for two scams with one on steam and one on discord. Thank you for spreading the word about the scammers.
It's funny how common it seems, yet in 5 years on discord I've never encountered any of this.. or any scam attempt in the first place.
The only people downvoting you are either people who keep getting scammed or the actuall scammers LOL.

How do you keep your attention span on the same arsecrap he has talked about for years
someone tried to pull the "i accidently reported you" trick and when i told them that theyre scamming he started to curse at me
Man i almost fell to the download my game scam once. The dude contacted me a week before and made small talk. I didn't really care but I responded out of politeness. He then said he wanted me to test his game and sent pictures of "him making the game" so I said sure, thinking it was going to be a steam link or something. He then sent me an .exe and only then did I start doubting the whole thing and ghosted him because I'm not downloading a random .exe. Truly a devious scam.
im getting pissed at this point
If you get DMs from any servers (mostly furry servers) that try to “give you ideas” for art you could get, don’t interact. They try to guilt you into paying them money for a commission and they most likely use AI art. I get multiple DM requests a day from people like this.
Tbh i have no idea how someone can fall for any of these
The artscam one specifically i once fell for, it was when it was First popping up. I *did* receive art, but it was, i'm pretty sure, AI-generated, and at some point they stopped bothering.
I Eventually rescinded the money, and rather hilariously, they tried to redirect me to another account doing the same scam as if i hadn't figured them out already

Had my first scammer on discord message me a few weeks back, felt so privileged.
Art scammers and the such annoy me a lot. They take so long to get to the scam part.
So...
First thing I do is write BUT NOT SEND "I knew this was going to be about art, you're a scammer, don't say otherwise" And I take a screenshot. I then erase it all and just send "Hi, do you need anything?"
And I continue asking this until they send their copypasta bullcrap. And boom, screenshot. Then I report to the servers we share after they start sending evil words to me
You misspelled "illustrator scammers". lol
at 4:26 you forgot to blur out the nsfw stuff

but you just said something
Ooh boy I bet you’re enjoying all the attention you’re getting from this knee slapper. Oooh wheee you’re so funny and original! I wish that I could come up with words in the magical way you could! Incredible!
To think I accidentally avoided 2 of these scams cause one was from an actual friend who was in a depressive state so I thought she was dumping money and I felt bad and denied it and for the other had a “starving artist” asking for commissions cause they lost their job 2 months ago and I went “same bro except mine was last month.” To which they tried to get me to commission a pfp for cheap and I replied with “I ain’t even got money to put gas in my car” to which they offered to pay me to commission them and I just ignored that one unintentionally cause it was late.
As someone who fell for "I accidentally reported you" scam, the scammer somehow, without my knowledge disabled my authenticator and still logged into my account

I had like several case of almost every case you mentioned before.
what annoyed me the most, is those hacked accounts that sending invite links to P0rn Discord server, few even links to underage p0rn server. and I had several case of those in just one month alone...
8:18 never trust anyone that goes out of their way to message you asking you to commission them, at all.
They usually overcharge their work and there's a chance they're lying it being their artwork
12:33 this man really just puts these quotes in every message to make him look cool
A "friend" I had sent me a message saying that they accidentally reported me for spamming them, and they said I had to add this random account that works for discord to explain to them that I am innocent. So what I did was message actual discord support and I was just fine and that friend blocked me because I caught them in the lie
feels like in every one of these is spread across friends lists, so just dont have friends, or go all in and just uninstall discord. no need to thank me
lol, yesterday i got a dm and I wasted 5 hours of the scammers time with stalling and fake info and then told him that I reported their center to the police, his account no longer exists😂
I swear one of the first things you are taught in school when it comes to the internet/computers is internet safety...
You'd think even outside of that, general common sense would come into play.
In over 20 years of using computers (I'm 25) i have never infected a computer so badly it needed a full reinstall, nor have I ever had an account stolen through my own fault.
As a game tester myself I have seen this a lot and i test game updates and now this is getting ridiculous because the amount of people getting scammed is crazy something needs to be done asap
This video literally helped me save a friend from a discord support scam... thanks my guy
Fire video, loved the transitions between each one, good shit ❤
Another way to detect #2 is by trying to move the fake discord login off the page, usually they are tied to the fake verification page and aren't real windows. This also works for #3 when the attackers are sophisticated enough to let you drag the window around.
13:15 thsi could also be prevented by discord having a "Discord will never ask you to change your email" notification just before the change
i once got infected with info stealing malware ''the last one in the video''
and it was unreal coincident
i applied for a beta testing game and the account of the dev got hacked about 24 hours after giving the testing build
so half of us got the actual game half of us got the malware
22 days of constant account recovery
Came back to this video, because an old Discord friend sent me the 'I accidentally reported you' scam. Called them out, and I was blocked. Thank you 😤
i fell for the 2nd scam, and i feel ashamed that i logged in to a fake page, and just gave the hacker my email and pass , I'm noob in discord tho, thanks for spreading the scams!! now I know!
I've had many "artists" dm me for commisions. I don't know if they were all scams (seeing as how they don't ask for money right off the bat), but I've always just to,d them that I can't pay them any money. Although now that I think about it, all of the "artists" that have dmed me did share very similar style art...
I almost fell for the You Got Mass Reported scam but Discord sent me a verification email before I changed my email saying that no staff member will ask for you to change your email. I have never had more of an appreciation for these notes at the end of emails than I do today
The number 5 actually was something I received. Someone I knew from a fandom discord server has sent that exact message and wanted ro contact support. The user they sent wanted 300 dollars to take off those reports, however, I'm a broke artist that isn't even that famous so... I just said i was broke and i literally had no money (true btw), and couldn't pay it.
They said that if they couldn't my account would gwt suspended, but i guess i just passed the scam to the person who sent the text anyway because, bruh, i made them pay the 300 😭
I actually got DM'd by one of the scammers saying they reported me thinking I was a imposter of someone and as soon as I said I've seen this scam a thousand times they blocked me
0:06 I SAW THAT EXACT SAME SCAM ON MY SERVER LUCKILY I BANNED HIM BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS A SCAM BUT THE FACT THAT EVERY LETTER AND NUMBER WITH THE LINK IS THE SAME 💀💀💀💀
One of my friends fell for the fake report scam, and before they found out to tell anyone their account was used and it resulted in half my friends getting compromised before anybody knew what was happening. Glad i know how exactly it works
