    members+ was actually started by someone i used to know. it wasnt a "scam" but it was not effective due to the described reasons, which is, well, people leaving.

    • @StacksOfficial
      @StacksOfficial  2 года назад +12

      Honestly, that was my mistake including Members+ in the video. It really didn't do anything to your server aside from give you inactive members that are just going to leave your server anyway.

    You can't forget the classic "I just accidentally reported your steam account" scam
    In case you don't know what it is: they say they've accidentally reported your steam account due to someone else posing as you, and they need your help to correct their mistake. Idk what they do after this as I haven't played along with the scam before, and this obviously only happens when you have your steam account linked publicly to your discord account

    • @KeeperOfPoops
      @KeeperOfPoops 2 года назад +7

      i fell for this once, basically they hook you up with a fake steam admin/mod and they have you swap email to hijack your account and force you to give them money or smth.
      i've dealt with 3 more this year but i caught out 2 of them red handed.

      Hey I got scammed with that, but the big dude, Steam Support, helped me with that. And it's only after I got my account back that same day that I noticed several red flags - why would Steam Support tell you their discord? How did someone find your discord? Why would they say about glitched purchases? Why would they ask for your password and steam guard?
      Yeah I was way too distracted by the fact that someone "accidentally reported" me

    I've actually experienced the hacking sort of scam, and... Let's just say, it's a good thing one of the servers I was in gave a warning about it. Shortly after I clicked on the link, I saw the warning, and immediately changed my login information so the info I sent to them meant nothing.

    There's also another type of scam where you'll get a DM from your friend saying they need help testing a program for their computer class, and they'll send you the program to download and a link to leave your thoughts on the program. The program just hacks your account, changes your account email and password, and DMs everyone on your friends list the same DM you got

    It’s actually pretty easy to avoid all of these scams:
    1. Don’t join servers/download apps from your DMs without a good explanation
    2. Check what permissions an application is requesting to authorize
    3. SAVE your discord password in your browser so if you see a page that doesn’t automatically fill in the details, Close that page.
    And a finishing touch:
    4. NOBODY WANTS OR COULD DO ANYTHING WITH YOUR IP, AN IP ADDRESS IS SOMETHING PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND CAN EASILY BE OBTAINED, IT IS LITERALLY YOUR INTERNET IDENTITY.

    It's more than 4 years since I have a Discord account and so far, the only scam I've seen were the link spam bots to Minecraft P2W servers. Discord was a good platform until the end of 2020, when they rebranded to this 💩. I think that back in 2018, the Skype+TeamSpeak 3 were a much better combination. And then, Discord started to spread out all around the world.
