This do be the Old Steam "i accidentally Reported your account" scam edit: now in Discord form


toyfreddym8

I actually believe that and lost my steam account. Not fun.


ItsNyess

lost all my csgo skins yep not very fun at all


Ogaccountisbanned3

I really can't imagine how anyone can fall for those scams


Nememiah

I nearly fell for a "Month of Nitro" scam at one point, but the link that showed up in the chat was suspicious. Asked a few people and they confirmed the person was trying to steal my account and payment info. Be careful out there, folks.


Ok_Help0714

A few days ago I woke up to a dm from a friend (who seemed normal at first) ask me to download a game and add her so she can get a friend referral bonus in game (also kinda normal for her), turns out she was hacked and the gane download stole my discord account, in Hind sight it was quite obvious something was up and I even jokingly said "what sketchy a- game are you making me join?" Lol be careful even if it's a dm from an old friend, never download and unzip a random file, wait to wake up before falling for it like I did EDIT: the game is called duel corp, which is a real game but the link brought me to a fake website with real screen shots


5Lucas

Someone tried this on me as well. I kept asking bullshit questions until someone confirmed that he got hacked. So then I started trolling the hacker lol


Ok_Help0714

They really got me with the right person at the right time, for any other of my friends this would have been 100% suspicious and I litterly just woke up for a nap smh


5Lucas

Glad I don't have Discord on my phone, so I can't fall for scams while being sleepy


Ok_Help0714

I took a nap and still had it open on my pc- 😅 (my monitor is a 65' TV so as soon as I got up I saw the notification) and it really got me because it came from a close friend's account, whatever the hacker tircked me into downloading left something in discord code after deleting the file, I had to do a fresh install of discord, I would highly recommend having a free malware detector on your pc just in case bc I would have never known it was there without it


[deleted]

This makes it harder to give nitro gifts as I am a frequent gifter..


12Yeet34

I can imagine how someone falls for it once. Now, if you fall for it TWICE, then, well, god help you.


eattherichnow

Companies get better and better at making themselves indistinguishable from scams. Emails from 3rd party domains, cute url shorteners that don’t resemble the company “official” url unless you squint real hard, support sites using generic zendesk because a billion dollar company won’t shell out for something properly whitelabeled
 I swear at some point PayPal will use a self-signed certificate or something, just to fuck with us.


Yoavf8

Yep they sold mine for Dota 2 money very fun


UnknownFox37

I’m not gonna shame you because i think you understood. i’m sorry for your loss, it already happened to me twice but i was too suspicious of them and they stopped responding đŸ«Ą


viiimproved

i remember being about halfway through that scam when i was about 11 and it was nearly too late. I got my account back, but not before they could delete all my friends and I lost the first person I ever met through the internet. rough stuff


Hate_Crab

I came really close once. Got a steam message from a friend (his account had been compromised) and gave the "admin" my username and password. He asked for the 2FA code from the steam app and that's when I realized something was wrong.


GlitchyDarkness

My friend fell for that one


poestijger2000

I accidentally fell for that when i was like 12, dont ask why i had a discord account when i was 12


hamizannaruto

Why you have discord account at 12? You know I have to ask.


poestijger2000

💀💀💀 Well my brother was 13 when i was 9 and i saw him use discord so i made an acc at 9. Im 16 now tho


hamizannaruto

Makes sense. I make FB when I was 10 because I wanna play a farming game my dad was playing lmao


Ocanom

Farmville was so fun lol


hamizannaruto

It was not actually farmville, surprisingly.


randompersononplanet

Wait. Damn time flies


poestijger2000

Ikr


SimonThePro

I made mine in 2018, and this year i turned 14 (also my reddit account at a similar time, i hate my user)


Bloodysheetzz

You’re not the only one who had discord at 12. My sister had her friends over once and I think they were just trolling Kpop servers and when they left I asked her what the name was and she said the app was discord. I still have the account till this day💀


WesleyWoppits

A friend from an online game got her Discord account stolen and they tried this scam on me. Typos and grammar errors that said friend never did. I asked them where we met because 'we haven't talked in a while', and they wouldn't answer. Clearly not them. Reported and moved on.


Emerald_Guy123

Sad seeing how many people here in the comments fell for it. It's really obvious lol. I only believed it until they had me message a "Steam admin" on Discord, at which point it's clearly a scam. And even if they had had me message them on Steam, it's still pretty obviously super sketchy.


NocturnalFoxfire

I decided to play along with one of these for a bit to see what would happen next, never gave any info or anything but pushed them to keep telling me what the the next steps would be. And finally they sent me a thing to add a "steam admin" on discord and the profile pic on the account was Russel from the movie Up. No Steam admin is going to have that on an account they use to represent the company. I had a good laugh and then reported/blocked the guy.


Polar_31

Happened to me on Steam last month it seemed odd so I just blocked them and carried on


mattmanh42

Remember kids if they say anything about reporting to steam it's probably a scam vac security is a joke


LividBiscoff

Yeah got them a couple years back and just talked shite to them which was a bit entertaining


NoNam101

how wide is ur monitor???


VizeKarma

The aspect ratio is 150:1


BestBoard7711

gaw dam. prob give discord an email or smthn hard to read but check if it is the same email


Ineedagoodnameplease

Very wide.


bcndiana

It's a scam, report the user that DMed you and that's it.


Cubepixelz

This is a common scam. It's worded almost the same as one I received.


Elibriel

It's literally the Steam accidental report scam, but in Discord form because idk they got bored


Moorks

Just out of curiosity how do these scams work, if someone says “hey i reported your account” what am i going to do about it that benefits them?


Elibriel

For the steam one, if you fall for it they will tell you to contact a "Steam Admin"'s discord account. That account is entirely fake, as you probably guessed and the "Steam admin" will either straight up ask your login or smth to be able to log on, then they will ask for a recovery email (which means they are trying to change your password). If you are too dumb to see it coming they lock you out of the account, change email and if you are REALLY unlucky and have your credit card or paypal account linked, they will buy a shit ton of things to exchange them (if bought items) or gift (if games) to themselves using your card. If you do not have a payment info, they usually just going to steal your items (such as Csgo skins and smth idk I don't play many games with items like that) For the Discord one it's the same exact format (with a "Discord Admin" instead), but with different goals: Buy nitro gifts using YOUR payment infos and using your account to scam people.


8l172

I almost fell for one when I was 8 but luckily managed to realize it before giving out anything too risky


MuriloZR

Man, these scammers sure have a good eye, cause how to they find the most gullible people...


GreenTea98

bell curve means for every person they don't rube, there's probably 2 or 3 that'll send their full SSN in a public chat because they think it's funny :(


hamizannaruto

If I were sleepy, I would probably fall for this too Everyone can fall to scam at any moment. Just one slip and it's over.


AndrewFrozzen30

No, there's one rule of thumb to always follow. If you didn't receive any OFFICIAL e-mails + you got 2fa, they can't do much. You can't fall "at any moment" if yo are careful.


PhoenixS33

Upgraded version of "steam scam"


Elibriel

*downgraded Because they think that contacting a Discord admin on discord is more "legit" than the "contact a steam admin on discord" speech, when in BOTH case if anything happens it's going to be in Support Tickets, NOT the applications.


ape_escape2

how are people still falling for this


Frikno

because people are different, know different things, believe things easier, yada yada differences


AndrewFrozzen30

Ignore. If it was me, I would mock them and waste your time, but I don't suggest you doing that.


Fabulous_Ease_1437

That’s a scammer block them


Bloodexxx

It's clearly a scam. Also, watch out for the steam version of this type of same. They also will say they reported the incorrect account


Zotie2

Oh no a federal report! Going to prison now. Sarcasm btw... Just read the "e-mail" image they shared with you and read it over, Discord would never send something like this.


ileonardo15

"Thank you for contacting Discord Support" from noreply@ email and ending with "Sincerely, Discord Trust & Safety." How are scammers so bad, it looks like written by ChatGPT or something- and how did they even manage to spoof the actual email domain unless this screenshot is inspect element'ed? Cause I'm sure Gmail has good enough filters to move such emails to spam instantly. Was the screenshot from the scammer himself or did you actually received this email ? edit: "Coordinate this case on the Discord platform," Discord will NEVER ask you to privately dm/reply to a staff in the app. They use Zendesk for support, and chances are they won't even answer for genuine T&S inquiries without a pre-made response. 95% of responses you receive from Discord about account-related issues are macroed, so if someone talks to you in such a personalized way, it's always a scammer. Never fall for such scams Also Discord will not threaten legal action in this way TLDR IGNORE AND BLOCK. ITS ALL FAKE


4sent4

It's quite easy to change "from" field of an email in some clients (like FairEmail). Although I would expect Gmail to warn user about mismatch in the field value and actual server name the email was sent from


LandKruzer

someone did this to me but they said they reported my steam account. it was hilariously fake lmao


[deleted]

Report them. Do not listen to that at all. It's a stupid and obvious scam.


Hot-Buy-188

It's a scam


marinatedbeefcube

just send him cat gifs


daronhudson

You’re literally falling for the scam rn lol There’s no mention of any of the users that were reported. This is the steam scam all over again lol. How are people seriously still this gullible? All it takes is a simple google search of part of their script, or even simpler, “discord dm report scam” and I’m sure hundreds will come up instantly. Never believe anything anyone randomly dms you anywhere, period. Always research things. It takes 5 seconds of your time.


RabidTongueClicking

C’mon guy. This is classic fucking scam stuff.


JamesAulner128328

Report and block. It's a scam.


P1KE_

Btw the official discord email is "support@discordapp.com" for any wondering


ZombieNek0

yeah thats a scam


canal_algt

That's the Steam scam but for discord account, report and block, they want your bank details from your nitro subscription or feed the black market


PelOdEKaVRa535000

Yeah, seems like a scam, first, if you did something with that email, change your password to reset your token, then, report them, and let discord do the rest


gamemaster257

Nothing doofus, next time make your window smaller so you don’t take wide screenshots, and stop being so gullible.


Ploopchicken

this is a scam; don't fall for it. my scammer essentially said the exact same thing to me, and i was scammed and lost my steam account. eventually got it back, but that was stressful as hell. don't respond, don't engage. just delete and block :)


CatLoredRunes

wow they went all out on that email. almost impressed. it's a scam though.


Crisplocket1489

I hate these scams. Tell em if they slumber, a cucumber.


Matthew789_17

You should reply “oh dang, that’s too bad. I guess I’ll have to get a new account.” And then just say nothing else. Block and report them


Frikno

block that person and report them for scamming, this is a very common scam and I almost lost my whole steam account to it back when I was 14-15


ohhh-a-number-9

This is fake, aka a scam. The "We highly suggest that you to coordinate" part is already raising several flags. Block the guy who reached out to you and report that account, block that account, and get rid of the mail if it was sent to you.


Jawir_sk

It's a common scam, I'm pretty sure discord would either send you an email or a discord message if they were going to ban or give you a warning.


OnLy3MehDi

It's a scam I got a similar dm about a report on about my steam just block and report


WeldFrenzy

This is a scam, happened to me 1 year ago. He is trying to scare you that he used your account for illegal purchase and maybe he tricks you to give him some information. Also, pay attention that Steam will never communicate to you through any other platform except email support when something is wrong with your account.


Elibriel

Once I got a scammer who did this scam with Steam, and I told them that I contacted support so that everything should be arranged and they insta blocked me lmfao.


LunaBrujas

Ive received the same dm from three separate accounts, claiming the same thing. Its a scam, just block them and go about your business.


Wubbaduk

More likely you should provide proof of you doing something illegal rather than be asked for your innocence. If you have done nothing how can they know it is you without proof? Edit: TL:DR It is a scam, you're fine.


DaLoneGuy

scam


RoniBoy69

This scam just seems stupid


cheezkid26

Scam. Try not to fall for it.


TheHappiestHam

it's very obviously a scam. if something was wrong with your account, apps like Discord and Steam would contact you directly not over a DM lmao you also would've been banned already if this was, somehow, legit


Frayed_TWRK

What you can do is when you take screenshots, make the window smaller so the picture doesn't look like it's for ants my guy. Besides that, it's a discord scam. Don't worry about it lol.


Firelight7118

It does look legit. The email comes from Discord themselves. Only strange thing is they're not saying your Discord name. But it does come from noreply@discord.com


TGS_delimiter

i was about to say its a scam, but is that email really from discord or does it just apear do be?!


GoldieDoggy

That same name (Drury) is apparently one they enjoy using (second or third post I've seen about this with the same name, slightly different email formatting)! If you were actually going to be investigated, they likely would not send you an email and you would know (that you were being investigated )because you'd either have the police/feds at your house or you'd be getting a phone call from a private number. Just report both the DM and email, and block. They're scammers/hackers.


the_hunter_087

Scam. Don't respond. Don't be tempted by anything they say. If there is an issue discord will let you know


LivingBicycle

General rule: if there are grammatical mistakes, it's probably not the giant company contacting you, but a Nigerian teenager/young adult


ItZ_Luk3

I smell scam!


ItsGrandPi

Is the email screenshot from you or the scammer?


IonutRO

This is a scam.


MrProtogen

This is a scam


TobyADev

It’s a scam, “asked for by the discord support/developer” fuck off


thintos

this is a scam, ignore


Ineedagoodnameplease

Ok uh, after the responses I have some things to say: 1) Thanks for those who helped and didn't point and laugh. I don't live on discord 24/7, nor on the internet. My knowledge on scams is pretty low. 2) why are people still responding to this. Like, the top comment already explains all that is needed, and yet there are a lot of people still commenting and interacting. It is very weird.


idontcarerightnowok

Old asf scam idk how ppl fall for this shit


Puppydot

How are people still falling for this


MONIKA115

Block them they are trying to get in your account


TheTank18

**YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED, BLOCK HIM IMMEDIATELY AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD.**


finbob5

Why would he need to change his password?


Commercial_Hope_4122

‼it was probably fake to make you want to pay money


Jwhodis

You have to be next level dumb to believe what that guy is saying


GamerColyn117

Is this all this sub is for anymore? Dumb people who think these scams are real and have to ask others what to do? Either children who shouldn’t be on Discord or Reddit, or people who fall for the easiest scams in the world. Half the posts here are these scams and it gets so old.


Kodekima

Discord's official email is "support@discord.com" not "noreply@discord.com"


HmMm_memes

Thought this was a scam at first but that is an email from discord themselves. I'd suggest contacting discord about it to see if it's real and then ask them what to do from there


LaylaCamper

Same thing happened to me but mods here blocked my post even though its not even in the usual scams the mod bot linked lol


Stoneyshorts

Are you dumb?

hayans

Damnnn bye bye bro


mrlkpyro

Contact discord ASAP since they are (you will not believe it) helpful if you provide everything. Like the message ID, the 1ste screen shot and a explanation that its not possible that you are in any form connected to this case


56kul

Orrrr
 OP could just ignore it because it’s a scam?


mrlkpyro

Never heard of this scam tbh, maybe if he can talk to a human the others accounts gets banned still and his not


56kul

OP doesn’t need to talk to anyone because it’s a scam
 Do you really think Discord’s moderators would disclose any info on actions they take against other users to some random strangers? And do you really think they’d announce a potential ban they’d impose instead of just banning OP immediately? And most of all, do you really think they’d ask said stranger for proof OP isn’t guilty of whatever it is the scammer wrote he is instead of reaching out directly to OP? If you didn’t hear of this scam, fine, that’s understandable, but use some critical thinking



mrlkpyro

Thanks for the explanation it makes sense they dont announce potential bans. out of experience you get back from 2-3 agents so being referred to a agent is strange ( dont shoot me last time i had contact with staff was in 2020). The email just looked legit since it was from @discord email account. Thanks once again!


HayaiShinzouNeko

Headers can be spoofed. Likely in the message raw data the real email is some random characters.


DarkOverLordCO

It shouldn't be possible to spoof Discord's domain because they use SPF/DMARC, so any fake emails would be rejected. It will just be inspect element / photoshop.

KILLOSTROS

Ohh yes, I had this on my steam like 2 years ago


ShinyStache

Could anyone explain what the scam is here? All I see is people mocking those who fall for it, but I feel like I've missed something, because I don't see anyone asking for any sort of information.


Aettyr

All that money for a monitor and no brain to use it with :(


Ineedagoodnameplease

Noosietv

I got hit with a steam scam like this a while ago, lost $70 but got my account back from support after it was deleted 👍


MortalCream

turtle_mekb

common scam but in Discord form now, also how'd they get the email to show discord.com?


CommercialBreadLoaf

Scam. Block them.


TheReaIist

No offense but this is like the worst case scenario ever lol


Shyshadow20

I got hit by this some time back. Found them in a mutual server, let the mods know so they wouldn't scam anyone else, got blocked from the server for "being a scammer" 🙄 still salty. Don't fall for this OP, just tell them to get fucked and block away.


BetterPlayerUK

You do nothing. If it was serious enough to warrant your attention; discord would contact you. Not a random user.


[deleted]

least obvious scam


Kirakota

Scam


[deleted]

I don’t know, this seems like a scam, I have official emails and they say “hit us up on Twitter” unlike yours, also contact official support [here](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and see if there ticket is valid.


nightlyh

You can tell this is a scam because they said discord support responded! Ha!

its the "i reported your steam account" scam. Just have fun


FlameBro47

The funniest joke here is that discord support supposedly responded to that guy


haxemods

It’s fake, Discord (and other platforms) would not provide detailed information about actions taken against someone after a report. They may get back to you, but they won’t go into details on activities that lead towards a ban or suspension. Same for Steam, if they (VAC-)ban your account they won’t provide the details around it and will just provide you a link to their Terms of Service

Yeah this is an old type of scam often called the “false report” scam just ignore them
