New Discord Scam to lookout for.
4 months ago
IN NOMINE SALVATORIS DOMINI
A friend of mine fell victim to a scam that seemed legitimate at first.
However, we furries have a unique way of communicating that differs from others. Most of us check in on each other and show affection—especially if one or both are struggling—before getting to the point.
This person asked how I was doing, and I replied, "Tired with a migraine." They simply said, "Okay," before asking me a question. I know this furry well, and he is far more affectionate than that. That was a major red flag.
The question was about a game they claimed to be working on called Crowsworn. This raised another red flag because I know my friend well, and if he were working on something big, he would have told me. After they asked the question, I responded, "Okay, when?"
The scammer sent a link and, in classic scammer fashion, urged me to click it immediately. This is a common tactic, as scammers hate wasting time. They aim to compromise an account or instill fear to demand money before moving on to the next victim. For those unaware, Discord scams often involve stealing a user’s account and demanding gift cards or cryptocurrency, which are difficult to trace. Combined with money laundering, it makes recovery nearly impossible.
The link to watch out for is Crows-worn-Beta[dot]com.
I didn’t click it, but a quick search revealed the site is very new.
To confirm whether this was my friend or a scammer, I deployed what I consider the most advanced tactical arsenal—too sophisticated for any scammer to overcome, no matter how hard they try. It’s a strategy so brilliant it would make DARPA blush. I asked, "What is my real nickname?" This high-IQ question, crafted by me, is designed to thwart any scammer’s plans. It’s impassable because I only share my nickname with close friends... though I also use it almost everywhere as my username with careless abandon. Still, my brilliance shone through. The scammer was floored by my question and responded with, "for?"
My superior intellect triggered my trap card.
As for my friend, he was unfortunately forced to create a new Discord account. Discord moderators pale in comparison to the towering competence of Steam moderators, who actively help users recover compromised accounts. Discord moderators are notoriously lazy. If your Discord account is compromised, you’re better off making a new one.
Moral of the story: Wolves are the superior species, and never click a link from anyone unless you know the website and are 100% certain it’s from a trusted friend.

Had a friend whose account got taken, and all of a sudden started doing some "pseudo-stoic-alphamale-bullshit" and kept trying to get me to get on voice or to give up IRL details for some reason. But could never actually give me a coherent response to anything complicated.
