I lost my account to a fake Discord Support staff
A week ago I lost my account by falling for the “I accidentally reported you” scam.
It all started at around 10:50pm, when a friend (with which I hadn't talked for a long time) told me he wanted to tell me something important, them I asked him what was that thing, and he told me he “accidentally reported” my account and it was going to be deleted if I didn't do what he told me, what made me become anxious, ignoring any red flag, I was then when he told me to contact headsupportstanislav4, which was reportedly Stanislav Vishnevskiy's official account, who told me to sebd a screenshot, which I did, then he told me to change my email, which I did, then he told me to create a new email, when I realized I lost my old account, it was already too late. (Sometime later he removed his pfp).
Later I contacted Discord Support to ask them to give my account back, but so far they have marked as solved my three requests (made with days of difference), despite still having no access to my account
Edit1: My hacked account is rodrigo3400 (Rodrigo3400#0098 before the username update)
Update: I just got my account back 😀 (finally, after one month and 11 days of uncertainty)

Same here.
Discord needs to do something about this, I made my request yesterday and all i got as a reply from them is telling me that their team is currently investigating the situation and i haven't received anything yet since then.
It feels like this happened to a lot of people recently, many scammers are faking as actual Discord staff and they make it look so real.
Just keep trying to make requests and hopefully a real person will help instead of a bot. I hope the same occurs for me too.

Yeah the scammers know that discord support takes forver and take that to their advantage.
I mean honestly, how would the average joe know that theres no support chat or actual support members you can contact on the platform. On every single other platform I know theres always at least a phone number to call, a chat functionality with staff, or some other form to get into contact quickly. So yeah it doesnt surprise me that one does fell for the trick if you are “required to speak with a staff member”. Happened to me too.
If discord support would be quicker and better organised so it wont take days, weeks or months to get everything sorted out, then this kind of scam wouldnt even be viable. The scammers know they have all the time in the world, its disgusting. But yeah I guess that happens if you lay down like half of your support staff. Happened in January I believe.

From a friend I managed to contact I know my account is already being used by the scammer to do the same thing they did to me

Was at this point too Rodri, its frustrating when they just close Tickets without explanation. Just open a new Ticket everytime they close the old one. It can take a while

I sent a new request with a screenshot of the scammer

Same thing happened to me (account flydip#8915). I'd appreciate it if Discord either gave the account back to me (see my email address) or at least just deleted it.

You should have just opened one, and not open another unless (or most likely until) Discord marks your request as solved, but since you did it, you'll have to wait for the bot to close them
