Honestly at this point I think Discord should just completely remove the QR code feature. It's been exploited at a way too large of a scale now.
tbh i think they are dragging their heels as well....removing a feature even one that has so many points for abuse..will make a angry crowd....
I am on the side of disliking the login feature as well. It bypasses 2FA
Everyone should just USE 2FA
Not bypass it
@@linux_fox yeah it should say when you go to scan a qr code in the app "This is for logging in to discord only. DO NOT scan qr codes in servers or anywhere else other than logging in to the discord app or website."
Discord needs to make a badge for “scam hunters”. You will get a golden one
Well most of the app should get it then. Since this stuff is EVERYWHERE, then EVERYONE is getting the message. And most of the people know it's a scam. So should the majority also get the badge too?
I just spread awareness, that’s my secret weapon against scammers. The true scam hunters are the ones taking down these scams at the source.
Yeah someone that recreates an account gets the badge then joins a scam server and says the server is legit, more ppl get scammed wow
i think its funny that the top users on 3:35 named themselves "do not scan qr" and the scammers arent kicking them lol
because curiosity killed the cat. people are deemed to be doing something they're told not to do it. Otherwise no one in the world would do drug nor commit crime lmao
@@usurxxo He means exactly what he said lol. There's users in the top of the members list that changed their server nicknames to "Don't scan the qr code" to try and help people.
I don't think they even check the server after it's all setup tbh they probably just monitor the backend or webhooks for victims info until the server is banned, and they have to repeat it. Awful people.
@@PuppyAnimationsInc or to actually get my point. obviously those people already know it, despite that they're not kicked out from the server is bcs once again, read my previous comment???
Discord datamining shows that in the future you'll need to confirm paying for nitro through email which should have happened years ago
How is it data mining if the client source is entirely readable and viewable
@@unnamed312 How did you learn that type of stuff? I always been eager to learn but I am just too lazy to search for it. Any tips (or discord username if u want)
@@unnamed312 What do you mean I am mocking it? My english probably is as bad considering spanish is not my first language lol
Good to know about the QR code scam. Discord should definitely do something about it, seems believeable.
how does it seem believable?
Discord's QR code scanner is only for logging in, if you really want to verify with a bot using the QR code, then use a QR code scanner, not discord mobile.
@@arjix8738 For someone who doesnt know much about technical stuff, it does seems believable. THAT is why it is working. If it isnt believable, this video wont exist. Like how u won't fall for an African Prince email scam, but that scam scheme used or is still working for some "very very very gullible" people. This is the same except instead of "very very very gullible", its probably working for "very very gullible" people. And so on. I still believe Discord should at least do something about it if they could get their hand to it.
@@dpWho34 it would be very annoying for the end user but they could add a 5 second timer until you can click "yes that is me log me in"
How can they really do something about it though? It's just QR code that anyone can generate. It would be impossible sadly unless they remove the QR code login system entirely which would cause a lot of inconvenience to people who use it normally. Not only that, but it's also pretty damn obvious that these servers / the qr code things aren't real I thought, but I guess it's not to everyone. I do wish they'd act faster in banning these servers, but I imagine they get countless reports every single day, so I can somewhat understand.
@@alacritty discord could scan the qr code of any image sent and detect if it is a login qr code
Ah yes essex my favorite english kingdom
Funniest thing is my school had a lock on the word Essex because it contained a word which matched with 'Adult content'
Recently I got a lot of invitations to this type of servers and I didn't know what it was about but because of what happened to my friends some time ago I preferred not to go there. I hope Discord will finally start getting rid of scam servers and annoying bots sending invitations. Nice video!
These servers are messed up af
yeah one of my friends got hacked from that and sent me one of those messages
@@mrknaagdier my friend was a hacker's target, he lose his discord, roblox ,etc accounts
No matter what we try to do, they keep finding out new ways to lure people in and make them fall for it and every single time, its more and more believable. Discord gotta do something more tbh.
they made me join one for some reason and it got me banned
i didn’t even click anything

I'm glad to see that, aside from obvious dodgy links, simply joining these servers isn't necessarily a death sentence. I'm eternally paranoid of accidentally joining a server and losing it all in seconds D:
thank you for spreading awareness about this, ill be sure to spread awareness myself aswell as reporting these creeps and their servers.
I got one of these last night! This video came out at a perfect time to reassure me that I almost got scammed. Thanks!
Finally. Someone who actually explains this! My friend got hacked from this, he never went onto any of these servers.
I commented on your beginner discord tutorial (which is legendary) to make an advanced tutorial because me and other people knew all the beginner tips, thanks
This is a great video about this kind of scam. A user of a server im in a moderator position on, got hit by that and started sending out those discord invites. But Dyno caught them. Using this video to educate about this specific scam. Thanks!
that is one of the funniest dms you could ever recieve out the blue "ay bro no cap 💀 this girl said she wants to esex you frfr no cap on a stack on god 💀🔥"
Gonna report 100+ servers now. I was waiting for this video :)
One server I'm in kept getting the "family" one, and I was curious how exactly the scam worked because it was a legitimate link under Discord's actual domain; this video answered that question perfectly!
it’s actually amazing you covered this, we’ll done
Thank you so much for putting this on the internet, because my cousin just sent me a nxde server and I was so confused and I learnt that I shouldn't join this stuff
I really hope discord fixes this because it’s honestly getting really annoying to the point where I have to turn off notifications for discord
I think the funniest part about most scam Discord servers are the amount of people renaming themselves in the server "Don't scan QR code" and "This is a scam server" just to tip people off.
Its emberassing how this still works, this scam is rather old now. Discord also doesn't do stuff to fight this, one way would be to add a huge warning saying "dont scan QR Codes from Servers" and make a countdown so your forced to read it
If you actually get banned for being in the same server you just reported then that's the most hilarious thing I've ever heard
You are literally the best, I've been looking for a tutorial for three days and yours works
NTTS bro you are literally so helpful i love your channel
I really like how your making awareness to these things. Also with the "free content server" they have linkvertises so where they will make money from clicks and most likely take your account.
Thank you for showing exactly how to report a server, you are a legend
Keep up the awesome work, love your content
Thank you man for this information. Today I also got invite from that kind of discord server and then I watch your video it really help me to not get scammed. Once again thanks have a great day.❤🦋
Thank you bro, recently i fell for the qr scam and didn't know until i saw this video
3:43 it's like that one family guy scene where people singing christmas carols are collecting people on the streets and they get joe and quagmire
I know you kinda just do discord stuff but do you think you could cover the ongoing youtube bot scam crisis (scammers replying to everyone or in livestreams)? I see those scams so often and while a smart person would know better it might be nice to help spread awareness
thanks for the vid, just had a bot spam the family link in my server. Reporting was easy and this youtube made it easy to understand wat was going on. Cheers!
i feel so bad for all the little kids that have done this and gotten hacked ive been message for the "family" discord server about 5/7 days a week but i have never gotten the esex one.
i cannot believe someone would scam people with the county of Essex like this. how horrible
I got a message from one of these servers this morning and I was really confused on what it was (I blocked them the second I saw there message cause it had nsfw in the server link) and I was confused but this video really educated me thanks
I was invited to the scam server called "family". But the moment i saw the qr code, i knew that it's a scam.
There were cases in the past as well where some nsfw servers gotten nuked by a compromised admin/mod account. I saved one before but if anything this is just ridiculous
thank you man, i remember i commented about this a few days ago
I Allready knew about this but its Nice that you tell other people about these things
ur at 99k hope u get 100k really soon :D
pretty new to this channel, this like FitMC for discord?
your almost 100k subs! Congrats :)
thx for the video! i just got one of these qr scams today.
3:36 respect to whoever made 6 accounts just to say "DONT SCAN QR CODE!!"
I've been a victim of this kind of scam that automatically send a link to every friend of mine. Just want to know, does it only happen once? I might have to delete again those links before someone become another victim.
So, you should never tick the box that says "Save your credit card info for easy check out"?
WNice tutorialch version do you use to get all the setup and polyphonic softs?
Good to know about this. Just received such a message from a friend's account and was weirded out.
Wow.... I never thought that QR code scam is possible. Seems unbelievable, Discord must do something before they take over all the users!
eh, There's not much discord can do, if they somehow ban this one another one will emerge, it's more of users being aware, These scams are still functional because people are falling for it, Just don't click suspicious links and you'll be fine 95% of the time.
Can anything happen if I only join a server ? I often get invites to wierd servers but never accept because I don't know if I shuld
will they access any other info outside discord account? like other apps passwords or personal info or even plant a malware in your pc/mac?
No text to chat I followed your discord server tutorial from 10 days ago, I mada the perfect server for me it's awesome! Thanks
I have a Question
What happened if there’s a discord nitro spam cuz I have been spam by two difficult people or accounts?? I don’t know all I know is I am very annoyed of these nitro spammers
I felt on one of that and after I changed my password and enabled 2FA. Do they can still stole my account?
Spread this video. Everyone should know about such things
This man is doing god's work
I actually almost fell for the qr code scam because I was too lazy to grab my phone and now I got saved by this video! Ty so much.
yo congrats on 100k subs!
The fact that discord started as a gamer chat site 💀
fr good old days and before that we had skype oh how I wish those days to return but now discord has become mainstream
had this happen, a dude i hadn't talked to in months or maybe a year even dmed the nsfw server, blocked immediately, these scams are getting wild
Oh no I thought that said "Essex" .. .
OH NO! Brilliant work.
i got a really bizarre one where theyll message you and act like you did something vile like gr0oming to coerce you into joining the server to prove ur innocence.
I started searching up the discord servers like 2 weeks ago, I was too ashamed to verify and felt like a weird person, I was ashamed and said to myself, "I'm just gonna delete these bots from my messages so that nobody knows what I was doing, so that's what I did and i have never returned to that
i have a special folder for this kind of situation.
Every time a scammer decides to post something me to, a really big smile appears on my face as i decide what images to post.
*Needless to say, scammer will eventually have to look at what i sent, and they will not have a good day*
Took down a link on a gaming server thanks to you.
GG ON 100K thank you for protecting the community
So, now that I fell for it and that message keeps sending to my friends its over? Or I can get rid of it?
Hey No Text To Speech, could you perhaps talk about the fake Nitro giveaways servers? The ones that give you like 100$ (fake) Nitro just for joining to servers.
some of my friends helped me try this and here's some stuff that they said in their experience!!!
First one: I dmed the owner and even if I won he just kept rerolling.
Second one: i got banned of the server just for not joining with an specific link..
And in the third one I was just ignored and yeahh
So i would be GLAD if you did talk about this,
I got that dm's too, but that user dm'ed that he was hacked later
but they wrote to me not only about the server about the "family", they also wrote to me on another server on which there was a voice verification channel, instead of a text one, and soon someone entered the voice channel and began to ask some questions
I always thought trust and safety never responded until i used your format for reporting. First time i've ever seen discord Trust and Safety Respond. I should probably start being more clear when i report though it has been 2 years since i last reported a server for something.
Almost scanned the QR code, remembered you can use thst to login to accounts so I looked it up, found this, thanks.
Is it possible to create a bot to automatically go through these reported servers and report them to discord? Bots vs Bots!
congrats on the 100k
"huh okay, I'll watch this ig..."
*Among us drip begins playing*
It is getting crazy I moderate a server and have to ban someone every 10 minutes because of this.
I just got hacked on my alt by joining this server and claiming a "free nitro" and all the accounts in the server (19k accounts) have a yellow exclamation mark on the side. Does that mean that is a hacked account?
but what happends when u just leave the server?
does that like help it?
The qr was new to me , i scanned it using google lens and luckily discord told me " if you get this link from person do not proceed" so i didnt click connect , tbh the qr is by far the best one out there because how clean and easy it is .
I always forget he does the goodbye kiss and I always have my phone on max volume. And always, my parents are right next to me
Congrats on 100k
I had one from a "friend" on discord who I didn't dm in about 2 years and he sends me some scam server stuff similar to what you showed in the video
Hi No Text To Speech! If you need to click a suspicious link, ALWAYS use TOR Browser! You probably already know it but it's wayyy better than clicking on these links via Chrome or Safari. Also, set TOR as your default browser, copying the link and then pasting it is also not a good idea... Because then on Chrome or Safari, websites can see your clipboard... Hope this helps for future video researching! Please comment or heart so I know you've seen this lol.
No text to speech: I must blur the icons out.
Also No Text To Speech: 3:33 (look at the top left)
This has been happening for years how have you not caught on
thanks bro, actually helped
Holy shit I actually read this as Essex like 4 times somehow and was so fascinated as to what the heck this title meant...
If i joined the server but didnt put qr code anything im totally fine? Just curious
I've literally gotten so many scam links, and it's annoying
we not talking about the light mode image at the start?
i think im one of the first people to see this, i was in a no rules server and a guy spammed this invite. Watch out guys, one of my friends got hacked that way
One of my friends accounts got hijacked while he was away on hiatus with this exact issue getting spammed to me (I was aware of this scam so I was safe), there needs to be a simple filter for posting through discord that checks to see if it’s a login qr for images sent and automatically filter-blocks them
i literally just got one of those messages
it said "hello, Vasya called you there, go to the 1st room, there is an urgent matter, we will decide" and then sent the server
Is it overkill jf I learn how to hack and find where they live and report them to the police in there area?
0:22 I love how Sanya in slavic languages is short for a male's name (i forgot which)
Yesterday I was invited to a "esex" server from a discord friend i had a long time ago when i joined i was going to verify my account luckily i used ur advice and didn't,thanks bro.
Nice video Well The Servers u show are already nuked with 100 to 1000 tokens I didn't able to nuke the server icon you blur and discord takes a lot of time to ban the server so that's why I nuke all scam servers
And I take down the links as well so as by rate limit and crash the bot and not usable!
PLEASE READ
1) That pfp server isn't a scam server. They just has mass DM ads. Please do not harass the server because they really aren't the issue here, target the QR code scam servers. Don't waste your time trolling some random pfp server that isn't doing any scamming.
2) If you decide to combat against scams, please know that there are scams that are very dangerous. For example, if you join the Scam Recovery Server, someone might ask you to check if an exe file is a scam. That person could be scamming you and trying to convince you to download a very malicious program that can steal your Discord, Minecraft, Roblox, Banking, and all other accounts off your PC.
IF YOU ARE COMBATTING SCAMMERS, PLEASE STICK TO SCAMS THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND. IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THE SCAM.
Thanks yall
Also if you do want to fight against scams, you can also join the server and change your nickname to something that tells other people that the server is a scam.
lol I FELL for one but the second time i almost fell for one but i learnt my lesson
@@DayTheBeast14 also enter ! on nickname so you gonna be on top
But mostly people hide list, so this is not effective and discord maybe ban you as contributor (not confirmed)
i got a scam esex dm from a verified bot. A VERIFIED BOT
thanks for the tip
