Can't believe how often the scammers try...
a year ago
You know, I've lost count of how many times people have tried to scam me through Discord. And each and every time, I manage to shut them down in one way or another.
There's the classic 'try this game I've made' one, and the most recent one I've seen was one where they claimed they won a $3k giveaway and they wanted to give the funds to me as a suprise, or something along those lines.
Of course, there's others, so feel free to share how the scammers have tried to scam you, and even how you may have wasted their time.

Best try at scamming me was someone claiming I owed them a commissioned story. Problem is, I don't do commissions, and they didn't seem to know that. Ended up getting hard-blocked by me, and haven't heard from anyone like them since.
The pfp one I was like, "You know that's just a generic sprite, right?", but most of the time I just call them out for the scam they're trying to do because I'm aware enough that anyone on my friends list suddenly being weird is likely hacked or fell for a scam, and random people who just joined a discord I'm in and immediately jump to sending a message at me is likely one of those scambots too.
