There is a Scam going around on Discord.
You might get a message from a "Friend", Claiming to have "Accidentally Reported you."
Do NOT Respond to the message.
Do not click on any pictures, or LINKs, THEY SEND. (This is sometimes a trick used to get your log in token)
tHIS IS A hacker talking to you (NOt your Friend) Report the message as spam / hacked.
IF you have ANOTHER way to contact this friend, Send them a message let them know their account was hacked. (they probably already know)
If they need to get their account back they can go Here
(Other countries might have a different link) (But it's the discord help desk)
Fill out a ticket with the ORIGINAL email the account is under, (Before it was hacked) Discord should get back to you pretty quickly.
They will contact you through the Email you put in. So keep an eye out.
Discord staff will NEVER contact you Directly,
They will never ask for you to change your password, Emails or anything involving your account.
If you are WORRIED about STrikes on your account you can go to
Settings > Privacy and Safety > Standing.
any strikes against your account can be found there.
For More in-depth talks about this You can watch this Video (For those of you who need to hear it vs reading this long post)
If you DO fall for this scam. Do not panic, Go to the help desk.
If you have any kind of payment method Linked to your account, Contact the bank / service let them know it's been compromised so it can be freezed. (And replace your CARD)
