My main account has been hacked due to the "i accidentally reported you" scam, and I'm still struggling to get it back
On June 29 at around midnight, my main account "makarafurusawa" just got hacked as I just fell for the "i accidentally reported you" scam. I'm also the owner of 2 servers as well.
It all started on June 28 when a hacked account sent me a message saying that they accidentally reported my account, and if I don't do an appeal, then my account and IP address will be "banned." Then they told me to contact the "support member" who was under the name of George Groh. At first, I didn't know it was a scam, but then they told me to change my account email to a burner email. Then they told me to turn off my 2FA, and then I did, but then they kicked me out, and I couldn't log back in. First, I tried my account email, then the burner email, then my phone number, but failed. Then I tried resetting my password by using my account email and burner email, but then I noticed the hacker changed it. Then I tried resetting my password using my phone number, but didn't receive an SMS.
On June 29, I created an alt. Then on June 30, I (still not knowing that this is a scam) got to the "support member" again, and the final process is setting up a PayPal account, but I refused to, but then they told me if I don't it, then my account will be "permanently disabled," so I did it, but then dad caught me doing so, so I deleted it since I'm starting to know it's a scam. Then they told me to perform a share screen using the Discord mobile app, but I refused to do it. Luckily I didn't pay them anything.
On July 1, one of my friends on TikTok "Arritractive" told me that my main account has been hacked as it's spreading the scam to other people who I friended with back then.
All I've got for screenshots is:
- The email the hacker told me to change.
- My main account getting logged out.
- My alt account having a conversation with the hacker when I don't know I fell for the scam.
- The hacker's previous and current profiles.
- My main account with the previous profile pics.
- My hacked main account sending scam messages to other people who I friended with.
...but not the screenshots of my main account having a conversation with the hacker. My parents are also concerned about this since they want me to let my main account go when I don't want it to, so that's why I didn't have them. I don't know why they have screenshots of that and not me, but how would I submit tickets to Discord Support on getting my main account back without showing image proof? There's got to be something I can do to get my main account back.
I've been submitting tickets about my main account being hacked, but all I got is automated bot responses that are unhelpful. Is there any way of getting my main account back? Because it's been 2 weeks, and it's gone too far already.
EDIT (08/02/2024): My hacked account is makarafurusawa (Makara Furusawa#2437 before the username update on 06/15/2023)
NOTE: This post was created on 07/11/2024, and it's been edited a couple times, and I also didn't mean to put "my main account having a conversation with the hacker" onto the bullet list of screenshots that I have when I don't have the screenshots of my main account having a conversation with the hacker.
EDIT 2 (08/02/2024): At 6:47 PM, I finally got my account back! It took 1 month and 4 days. I got help from this post here: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/25047105054999-Discord-Support

I spent $500 on my main account so I'm not getting a new account. My life is over as far as I'm concerned. I can't remember my friends on Discord. I don't remember names.

I got hit by that scam too. I even sent screenshots of the convo between me and the hacker, yet nothing has happened yet. I’m so sad :(
I hope we can get our accounts back

I'm in the same boat as well. I have so much proof to prove it was my account but they only respond as bots and won't give me a human to talk with. It's so frustrating :(

Still couldn't get it back. I think it's time to make a ticket or hold still
We know that discord probably do anything else instead of support, I got asked that should i even let them do anything confined in a single moment but no. Yeah for those who got compromised, welcome to the waiting club.

luckyyyy. congrats on getting it back. How did you initiate it exactly? did you make a new ticket or a follow-up ticket to your original one?

I'm gonna cry

I already fear that my account was disabled and also the email (Account disabled for suspicious activity) was in the scammer's email. Did they picked the scammer's side? I'm not too sure, but I am still panicking but less than I got hacked.

Octolingchick I found this post here, and I did exactly what this user did. Here's the link to it: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/25047105054999-Discord-Support
I put "I want to speak to a person" as the title and put "I don't know/I'm not sure" as the suspicion, and I also typed "My Discord account's email was changed. The login page says that my email does not exist. I cannot login. Is there any way I could talk to a human?" as the description. Maybe you could try it and see if that helps.

Another ticket doing what I got from the person (that does a tutorial) then marked as solved. Discord is useless.
