Discord Support Scam
Discord Support Scam explained, what to do if you have fallen for it and how to avoid it
How it works
Scammers create fake Discord support accounts
They reach out to you claiming that they reported you or that you have been reported
They trick you into changing your Discord email to theirs (which steals your account)
I've already fallen for this scam
Contact Discord support immediately and get them to change your email back.
If you scanned a QR code, change your password. If you downloaded a file, assume it is malware and wipe your PC and change all your passwords
How do I avoid this scam?
Discord Staff will NEVER DM you about issues with your account.
Discord may send you a system message which looks like this.
Never share personal information or download files from untrusted sources.
