I hope you didn't lose much, I can imagine it's not nice even when the amont wasn't high and you know it was possible to avoid because normally you don't fall for it.

Discord is also a platform where I'm not very active (I'm just following a few groups but don't use it for regular communication) and yeah, a different medium of communication isn't trivial to know all the features what's leading to mistakes.

When someone is asking for money, no matter where I'm always like that:



Especially if there is no chat history, the PM comes solely for asking for money (all accounts can be hacked) or trying to get some other sort of information. Even links should be suspected.


Right now, I've enabled PMs in Telegram (that scammers can PM me) and I get behind their stratgies to list them and educate less experienced people like Royse777 does it in their List of (un)known methods scammers user to scam users with honorable mention. I'm only sending money on Telegram et al. unless I'm 100% sure the person is trustworthy and 100% not an impersonator or hacked account.

But sharing your story here is much appreciated. +100
