Avoid Getting Scammed via Discord
1. Impersonation of Runestake Discord Staff/Owners
Scammers often pretend to be Runestake staff or partners, trying to trick users into revealing personal information or login credentials. Remember, legitimate Runestake staff will never ask for your password or sensitive information, nor will they send you links via direct message for you to click. Always verify the unique ID of any Discord account claiming to be Runestake staff against the official user in the Runestake Discord.
2. Fake Nitro Giveaways
A common scam involves fraudsters offering free Discord Nitro subscriptions through unsolicited messages. These scams usually require you to click on suspicious links or scan QR codes, potentially compromising your Discord account and exposing your IP address or personal information. These links could also contain malware or spyware designed to harm your PC or mobile devices.
3. Phishing Links
Phishing scams on Discord often come in messages from unknown users or hacked accounts that contain links to fake Runestake.com login pages or malicious downloads. These may appear to be official communications or tempting offers like free tokens, cheat codes, or other enticing content. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!
4. Malware and Token Theft
Scammers may target Runestake Discord users through malware attacks. By distributing malware through phishing links, fake software downloads, or directly sending files for you to download, they can steal authentication tokens and gain unauthorized access to your Runestake account. Some users may even ask you to provide your Runestake account "token" or "unique cookie" by using your browser's development console. Never provide this information, as it allows scammers to access your account without needing your password.
5. Cryptocurrency and NFT Frauds
Fraudsters may impersonate NFT creators or crypto enthusiasts, offering fake giveaways or airdrops. These scams often use phishing links or fake webhooks to steal crypto wallet details. Always verify the authenticity of any offer and never share your wallet’s private keys or seed phrases. Be cautious of users offering to "Swap/Exchange" cryptocurrencies personally or through third parties or promising to exchange "CashApp/Zelle/PayPal" for your cryptocurrency—these are almost always scams, and once you send your funds, you will likely receive nothing in return.
6. Discord-Steam Connection Scams
These scams lure users with the promise of free Nitro or exclusive game content if they link their Discord and Steam accounts. Victims are redirected to a fake Steam login page, where their credentials are stolen.
Stay Vigilant on Discord
To protect yourself from these scams, always double-check the legitimacy of any offer, avoid clicking on unsolicited links, and never share sensitive information with unknown contacts. Stay safe and enjoy your time on Runestake.com!
