    The whole thing falls apart when you consider that if any corporate business thinks you're breaking TOS, they'll just suspend you with a "sorry not sorry" email. They won't ever make you plead your case unless you open up a support ticket after the fact.

      This is so true. I had a youtube account (Never uploaded videos, nor shorts, nor comunnity posts and rarely leaved comments) and one day, I wake up just to find out that youtube "BELIEVES" I broke the TOS, so goodbye account until 2029. Just like that, cold turkey and no appeal posibility
      I can't even look in the homepage if I am logged with that email on a device

    I remember the time I got a scam report on my steam account.
    I took the liberty to say that I do not own the account. After asking for things for a while, the conversation started derailing towards wanting to speak to the *real* owner of the account. They got very rude towards me since I was allegedly not the owner of the account, and the lines they used was funny. "I don't care about you man, Im here for the owner" and "Are you a teacher?"
    I forwarded them to my alt and continued to just stall with silly questions.

I ended up getting scammed cus idk how foolish i was and 2-3 days later steam sent me an email recovering my account and creating a 20 character password lmaooo

      Yeah actual steam support is very good and direct. I once got my shit hijacked stupidly from a phishing site very early on in all that nonsense before it was common.. After it happens once your smarter typically. All they did too was try to Idle items on CSGO with an account full of games. lol anyway steam support with some proof gave it back to me after a day or 2.. The shitty par is they spam all your friends the the same links and luckily nobody else clicked them.
      Ive helped a few people after the situation because I knew what to do.. Steam legally asserts they don't do this but they will, I guess its to keep people from trying to use support to hijack.

Then I asked, "why doesn't he message me directly?" Again, same response. The scammer was saying a cheated him out of money on steam. ***Since when tf do you meet up to make transactions on steam marketplace?***

    This is also a good time to comment that this scam has since improved, with the grammar being proper (for rthe most part) and the spelling is correct. The hacked accounts are no longer using the threat of “IP banning” (which doesn’t exist on Discord).
    In previous incarnations the scam had poor grammar, poor spelling, and threaten to IP Ban the target.

    My gf nearly fell for this scam on steam a while back. It took me a while trying to explain that it was probably a scam because no report system would work like that, before I gave up and googled it, reading out a script that almost perfectly mirrored what the guy was telling her.
    Anyhow, point being she is very trusting, and is most familiar with the 'he said, she said' model of moderation. So I wonder if a part of why people fall for this is just that they're of that same era, where half a dozen mods could run the largest forums on such a basis.

    • @ImSquiggs

      Interesting thought. I think back to games like Runescape where the player mods and even the official Jagex mods were just normal people walking around in-game and talking in chat. You’re probably on to something - familiarity with that style of moderation could lead someone that isn’t very computer-savvy with the modern era of support to believe that someone might just PM you with official business.
      I’ve never considered that before, very interesting thought!

    This very much is exactly like Steam Support Scam (minus Steam of course). It's funny that I would get messages like that every now and then and proceed to call them out time and time again before they block me (then I report them). Most likely because I have items on TF2 that I guess people really wanted. Never ceases to amaze me.

    18 hours of talking to this scammer and they finally gave up. Some of them these days will not stop 'till they get your money or steal your account. Some highlights from this *fun* activity was from the scammer: "Ma'am are you on something?" and "Just change the god damn email already or your account will be deleted" in which I responded: "Nah I'm good, I think I need a new account anyway" so they said "Fk off" and blocked me. Around an hour after this came out, my friend said: "Hey Bro, Watch this NTTS video" and that led me to this video, less than 4 hours later another friend messages me with this same scam. I said to them: "Why should I contact discord support?" then they responded: "Youll get ur account daledted if u don't", I then went to correct them and say: "I'm all good bro, this account is getting pretty old anyways". Great vid bro!!! I emailed the email some weird stuff and reported them! Cya!

    Thanks for posting this! A friend of mine got their account hacked and their account tried this scam on me. I clicked the e-mail message and immediately noticed the word salad...which was EXACTLY how this "friend" was talking to me and I said "This e-mail is fake. The grammar is terrible. No company would write this way." and blocked them.
    I was then a smidge worried that just opening the image in my browser might have given me malware so I Googled for more info about the scam and found this! PHEW! Thank goodness. I completely missed the "add Mike as a friend" part. That and I missed them when they first sent me the scam and they got back to me the next day so the "YOU ONLY HAVE 24 HOURS!!!" thing also tipped me off because it has been more than 24 hours.
    Anyway, thanks for the info on the latest scams.
    EDIT: Oh and why do people fall for these scams? Add "English is not their first language" to the list. I DO have one actual friend who kinda talks like these scammers, which made me believe the scammer's word salad but NOT the E-Mail's word salad.

      me too :( I've had my account for 4 years too--and I fell for this. I sent a report to the discord help desk and I hope they can recover my account for me. Let me know if you get it back.

    Had this happen to me a few months ago, only they insisted they reported my nonexistent Steam account XD Then said I had to add some Steam mods on Discord, and were not able to say why , since
    A. I have to do it since they could just file another report or reach out to the support team they were already talking to
    B. How the person being reported is a lot less trustworthy in this scenario than the person who originally reported them.

    The reason why most of them use code blocks is so that when you report the message it will not be the same as reporting a nomal one. So most of the cases the discord staff will assume it's nothing too bizare so they (most of the time) will do nothing about it. For example you can see when Mike sent the first message, and then when he sent the second one (which was the scam part) he wrote it in codeblocks.

    I fell for this scam just hours ago. It's easy to laugh and look back in hindsight and say 'Ha ha, you idiot', but... honestly, this is the first time I've experienced anything like this and now I feel angry. I don't know how many of my friends have been targeted by this scam and how may people I've annoyed with this.
