This tactic is similar to that used by fraudsters about two years ago, described here by Reddit user /Bangaladore. Once Discord users click the link, they are directed to a website that was made to look and feel like a legitimate Discord page.Ĭlicking the “Get Nitro” button opens something that deceptively resembles a Steam pop-up, when in fact, it’s actually not a separate window but a part of the website itself. See, here free nitro for 1 month, just link your Steam account and enjoy – Below is a sample screenshot of what you might find sitting in your direct messages:
There’s a fresh, active scam circulating in Discord right now that is propagated by either bot accounts or accounts controlled by scammers. This Discord scam is not after your Discord credentials It’s not something you normally come across every day. There’s novelty, however, in scammers preying on both at the same time. Weeks ago, we talked about the one effective lure that could get a Discord user to consider clicking on a scam link they were generously given, either by a random user or a legitimate contact who also happened to have fallen for the same ploy: free Discord Nitro subscriptions.Īnd similar to how scammers repeatedly prey on Discord users, they also prey on Steam users (Remember that “I accidentally reported you” scam?).
