The Dangers of Fake Credit Cards for Free Nitro from Epic Games

E: It seems like Discord doesn't really care about this so you probably wont get banned regardless.

Did you use a fake/suspicious credit card that you didn't own? Chances are that you commited a pretty serious offense and you are either a) concerned about your discord account or b) concerned about being in legal trouble. You may think that this situation is a bit overblown, but it's better to be diligent. Chances are, most users will not face any bans due to so many people using a fake credit card. But it's definitely a good idea to remove the fake credit card from your account.

Unfortunately, the damage is done by using a fake credit card. There is no way to fully clean yourself from your sins but taking the steps shown in the video is a good way to at least cover some of your steps. To be clear, doing this doesn't guarantee you get a get out of jail free card but it is helpful in reducing the chances of punishment. Although, like I said, the chances of punishment are slim to none.

Spreading the word about credit card fraud is something you should do. Tell your friends to follow the steps shown to reduce their chances of being banned. But don't stop there. Look up credit card fraud and it's multiple applications towards online theft. This particular case is very mild in nature but avoiding stupid mistakes like this in the future is a good idea.

News: 100 million discord kids arrested for using unexistent credit cards

[joshlost]

The guy who is actually John Davis
"So yeh, why am I banned again???"

[Wilco]

I hope that discord had learned from this and don't require creditcards when redeeming a promotion (like with gifts), there is already a system in place that asks for payment details before the nitro runs out, so they could've used that to they still have some left over

[murkorus]

Discord: Who's John Davis?
Everyone: *Raises hand*

[quackrina]

i really don't understand why you need a credit card to get free stuff lol, they probably thinking we're gonna forget we had our ccs up there and when the few months are up they're gonna bill us again for nitro 💀

[nimmy]

Plot twist, John Davis is actually a really nice rich dude giving out free nitro for everyone :)

[notahoman]

whatever the case is with using fake cc or real, still you will get addicted to buying nitro

[artico_]

I like how in each community there’s this single guy that’s giving everyone nitro, in the american community it’s John Davis, in the spanish speaking community it’s Carlos and in Brazil it’s Felps (nvm, turns out that there’s like 500 different ones in Brazil)

If you don't know, majority (if not all) of the companies that do the "Get free (insert their subscription service) for (insert amount of time here)" deal, they will still give you the free subscription even if you cancel it after 1 second after you claimed the free subscription. So you can use your own debit/credit card still (or your parents if you tell them that you will cancel the subscription right after you claimed the free one) and you won't be charged :)

[vensven]

Thanks for this PSA homie, you really care about the people.

[mikailra]

everyone : using fake cc
discord : This Isn't How You're Supposed to Play the Game

[pixel_ppl]

Therapist to discord: John Davis is not real, he can't hurt you
John Davis:

[komrei]

Hmm, that was a close shave. Reccomendations are finally useful.

[glacius]

discord: what you just did is a crime
me: are you new to the internet?

[bladeoftheruinedking]

Imagine John Davis himself is using the free nitro

[somerandom]

I am pretty sure they regret starting this nitro promotion more than anything.

[Rohit-qtve]

FYI : All credit card numbers are not real and can not be used for any real purchases, including expiry and cvv, as well as names, which are all randomly generated.

[paulanocu]

Discord: ill only ask this once, who is John Davis and why is he buying everyone nitro

[redninja]

"How'd you end up in prison?"
"I used a fake credit card to get free nitro"
"Bruh"
Edit: Since so many people asking me to put "Bruh" instead of "Oh" there it is. :)
2nd Edit: why is there a bruh chain
