Discord User Extorted Me With Threats and Gift Card Scam
Today, starting from around 9 a.m. and continuing until about 6 p.m., I have been repeatedly contacted on Discord by someone trying to pressure me into sending gift card codes. This started after I shared explicit content, and the person then threatened to leak this content to everyone I know on my Instagram if I did not send them gift card codes. Because my Instagram account is public and they said they would send it to all my followers, I panicked and, not understanding it was a scam at first, I ended up giving them gift card codes worth about 230 USD. These threats, the pressure, and the loss of this amount of money made me extremely stressed and scared, and I believe this is a clear gift card scam and extortion attempt. I have not yet taken any steps such as reporting, blocking, or contacting support, but I am now requesting that Discord investigate this situation and identify the account or accounts involved in these scam attempts. I expect Discord to take the necessary action and ban the user or users responsible so that they cannot continue trying to scam or threaten other users or me in a similar way.
Just be careful in Discord
