The Discord Scams I Don't Show You....

My brain cannot comprehend how people fall for this. BUT IT HAPPENS ANYWAYS.

I get a lot of DMs from people showing me Discord scams, and I unfortunately have to filter out scams that simply aren't worth the time. Whether it be a scam that is mainly a spearphishing attack or something that no one will ever see. WELP, I collected a handful of these absolutely atrocious Discord scams that people unfortunately fall for. Sit back as we watch in horror the true atrocities that are committed aka bad scams.

honestly the scammers are just stand up comedians in disguise from the way they're acting

[pwice]

we need to get a interview with the people who think these will actually work

My favorite thing to do to those "Check out my game!" scammers is to pretend I downloaded it then describe things in the game that sound absolutely BONKERS and ask them how they coded it.

I think alot of these scams are purposefully made to sound ridiculous, so that smart or informed people just ignore or block you and only people, who are gullible enough to be your target group, actually respond and proceed with the scam. Saves the scammer a lot of time arguing and persuading.

My relative has dementia. Before she went into assisted living, she gave personal information to a scammer; the odd thing is she said some of her information wrong and the scammers called her back to fix it but by this time she realized she was being scammed...and yet she gave them the information anyways. Maybe in the moment she could not think logically about what she should do now that she knew it was a scam. I think this fits the psychological definition of learned helplessness: "Learned helplessness is a state that occurs after a person has experienced a stressful situation repeatedly. They come to believe that they are unable to control or change the situation, so they do not try — even when opportunities for change become available." So maybe basically anyone can feel so stressed and defeated while being scammed that they just give in.

Disappointed that the psychic wasn't asked that how can he buy the cleansing materials with a steam gift card.

(In a creator community) we get a ton of commission scams, especially "emergency commission" scams. It angers me because we have *real artists* who can't pay their bills, and they can't get help because their industry is being tarnished by those idiots.

In the old days, there was a saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". In the modern day, "If you get any sort of good news on the internet, it's probably advance fee fraud" might be a more apt saying.

When he went from "basically just copy it" to sending it to him on discord so fast was just so funny to me 💀

The scambaiter reporting the cashapp accounts is the kind of thing Kitboga does. It's funny when the scammers provide numerous bank accounts and are confused about them all not working anymore

My parents recently got scammed of $150. They were "ordering" clothing from who they thought was a clothing seller in another country... and somehow got convinced that he's legit and they gave him the money.

I was telling them the entire time that it was a scam, before the transaction even happened. My mom replied with "omg, you don't know anything, what do you know????"

clearly more than you, mom, because I'm not a fool oh donated $150 to a scammer.

then few days after I rubbed it in my mom's face and she said "well he seemed to be a legitimate buisness person"

never apologized, never took responsibility for her ignorance.

i straight up told my parents they deserved to get scammed and had that coming.

literally as soon as he said "on the planet" when he said "best mic quality on the planet" my internet lagged and glitched his mic out and i thought it was a skit but i rewinded and he said it normally, perfect timing tbh

[smol_lucifer]

the sad thing about scams is that even if you're intelligent, if you're desperate enough and in a very rough financial situation any little glimmer of hope could be so bright that it covers the scam behind it.
All they need is for you to be either unaware, desperate or naive and that's all.
It always breaks my heart when I hear elderly get scammed who just thought they're going to get something good. That's why I like to pressure that people take the time and inform their beloved ones of those scams.

Ntts is just the scam expert at this point 😂

[susmouse]

It's sad that even the poorest scam might convince someone to send scammers the money. And the worst thing is that you can collect someone's money even with stupid idea and people would trust you.

I really like how the roblox cookie scammer showed his own account token. Thus anyone who watches his video could access his account

[comet.x]

"your discord account is more recent than my baby cousin" is so funny

[corruptor]

I notice that online scams generally prey on others by confusing them, so that they just go along with whatever the scammer wants them to do. The main difference here are the confusion tactics being obvious(e.g. bad grammar, ridiculous/exaggerated concepts), which makes it funny and an apparent scam XD Still worth seeing imo, as it's basically a neutered version of what scams people usually fall for, which use even more sly/manipulative tactics.

The psychic scam said I was gonna die in 2 weeks and I’m still here
