I came across this Discord scam and thought I’d share to warn others. The scam starts with someone messaging you, claiming they’re an admin or moderator and saying you’ve been reported for something. Then, they tell you to take certain actions to ‘resolve’ the issue. It’s all fake, of course. Stay cautious out there!
New users should know this forum has scammers watching posts like this. They’ll send you private messages claiming they know someone who can help recover your account or money for a fee. Don’t trust those messages. Always ask for advice publicly so others can help verify if it’s legit.
A quick reminder: No sharing personal info like phone numbers or emails here. Also, be respectful and follow the forum’s rules. If you see something off, report it. Stay safe!
Yeah, this Discord and Steam scam is super common in the forum. Thanks for posting about it!

Here’s a quick guide on spotting these scams: If someone contacts you out of the blue claiming to be an admin, think twice before following their instructions. Real admins don’t work like that.
This type of scam shows up here almost every day, but your detailed post is helpful. Glad you noticed it was fake before it went further. Recovering an account can be such a hassle.

Thanks! It didn’t feel right from the start, especially since admins have never contacted me directly in DMs before.
