Community Members – Please Read Carefully and Stay Safe!
Hey everyone,
-
@disturb.me
We are seeing a surge in a very convincing scam targeting Discord users (and spreading to Instagram/other platforms). Scammers are compromising accounts (including friends or popular ones) and using them to mass-DM fake screenshots like the ones shared here.
These messages claim things like:
- "MrBeast" or a "gaming partner" is giving away huge bonuses ($2500+, $27,000 withdrawals shown).
- Promo codes to "activate" free rewards on a gambling/crypto site.
- Proof of instant big withdrawals with green success screens and crypto options.
This is 100% a scam.
- MrBeast has no official gambling site, casino app, or bonus codes.
- The screenshots are fabricated (Photoshopped or from fake demo dashboards).
- The sites are fraudulent — they show fake wins to bait you, then demand real crypto deposits for "verification" before any payout (which never happens).
What to Do Immediately:
1. Do NOT click any links, enter codes, sign up, or follow instructions from these DMs — even if from a friend.
2. Ignore and report suspicious DMs (right-click → Report → Spam/Scam).
3. Verify with the real person — If a friend sends weird stuff, ask them in voice chat or a server channel they control (not DMs).
4. Secure your account:
- Don't authorize unknown discord bots or websites to your account
- Enable 2FA (two-factor authentication) if not already on.
- Change your password.
- Log out of all devices (Discord settings → Devices).
- Never share login details or click suspicious links.
5. Spread awareness — Share this announcement in other servers/groups to protect others.
If you've already engaged (clicked, signed up, or deposited anything), act fast:
- Disconnect any linked wallets/apps.
- Report to Discord/Instagram.
- Monitor your accounts for unauthorized activity.
- If crypto was sent, unfortunately recovery is very difficult — but report to authorities/crypto platforms.
Your safety is our top priority. Scams like this rely on trust and speed — slow down, verify, and stay skeptical of "too good to be true" offers.
Be safe, be aware, and let's keep this community scam-free!
If you have questions or spot something suspicious, ping a mod/admin.
Stay vigilant!
