I don't even know what discord is all about in fact this is the first time that I'm hearing about discord. This has pricked my interest in discord and I will be careful of scammers there.

All these scamming strategy will not work on me because I have things I look for when I agreed to an offer . I always try as much as possible to be careful about things that are too good to be true.
I cannot be blindfolded to a point of losing money when people try to convince me on things like this.

A word of warning. I received a couple DMs on Discord recently, with a message stating I had won 0.15btc (bitcoin) for being a member of a bitcoin discord server, which equals out to $8,000+. They included a promo code and a site for how to enter. I knew it was a scam right away, but wanted to share the details to everyone here. If you receive a message like this, ignore it, block the person that sent, and report it to Discord if you can.

The site they pointed to in the DM was called cryptopye. I checked the site details and it looks to have been created just last month, so that's another sign right there. I won't link to it, as I don't want people to actually access the site, as it's probably got problems of its own.

Anyway, I just wanted to warn you all. Because I think it was a mass DM kind of thing, so many people who use Discord may have gotten the same exact message.

I have one rule, never click on any link or picture or anything you don't trust on discord. Those guys are so smart. I have a lot of whitelist project in my discord, I would be pissed off if it gets hacked

Discord is one of the platforms mostly used by cryptocurrency traders and enthusiasts. So having a lot of scammers on the platform is not a new thing because scam is all over the internet.

Probably, is the rate of scam on discord and other social media platforms recently is alarming. scammers are devising new strategies in which they will use to scam people of their hard-earned money. It is even better you don't click any link from random people.

Things like this are not always trusted. It is not easy for people to just win bitcoins like that without doing anything tangible to earn it. We just have to be very careful when things are too good to be true especially when it involves crypto-currency.
