! Scam "I by accident reported you" on Discord !

I recently got a message from one of my Spacehey friends message, where they told me they by "accident" reported my accaunt on Discord and they gave me username of a guy, who should "help" me with that, aka "deal with this by yourself". 

That guy is called livesupport.bryanmartin (Bryan Martin). He showed me he's "professional", so I can "trust" him.

Firstly things were okay. I explained situation and it seemed he really wants to help me. He said what I should do and gave me instructions to change my email adress on email adress which he did for me. I would do that, but here starts the issue - I have old email on which I do not have acess anymore (or specifically, I still do, but only on my old phone on which I currently do not have access). I told him that and out of nowhere he started to talk about my...

discord nitro? and my payment card?

and here we go. He asks me to pay as "a trial purchase" 100 USD and that he will "send me these money back". Here I realized something's very off. I tried to come back to the conversation about that "report", but he seemed to be agressive and say I should pay, so he can put off my "ban". I tried to message that friend on Discord and Spacehey, but they didn't even reply anymore...

As you might know, I posted about it pretty much in my bulletins. I was seriously worried and didn't know what to do. But some of you helped me to realize I'm safe and my accaunt is as well safe! Big thanks to S. Spiegel and cilica for your help and as well giving your stories with this scam.

Let's start with S. Spiegel. Spiegel has a friend called Steixns, who got scammed and sadly Steixns lost their accaunt on Discord because of that. 

Cilica had the similar situation as Steixns.

I seriously do not know if Bryan Martin is the only one who did that or there are more guys like him. I even do not know if he's really a "professional". But he just gives me off vibes.

About that Spacehey friend, it's very possible they got hacked. It's too weird they didn't reply on my messages and were last time active at the time when this whole situation happened. 

I as well want to mention very important thing: my accaunt on Discord was banned (not the one which you can see on screenshots, another one by mistake) and it didn't look like this. I simply got email message that I was banned and when I've tried to get into my accaunt, it told me I was banned. Reports on Discord work pretty fast, so if I was seriously "reported" as that friend told me, I would have already a ban. Which didn't happen, as you see. 

SO PLEASE! STAY SAFE YALL. IF YOU GET SOMETHING SIMILAR LIKE ME OR OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONED HERE, DO. NOT. INTERACT. IGNORE THAT MESSAGE. AND REPORT THE "PROFESSIONALS" WHO WANT TO "HELP" YOU.

YO SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED TO ME A MONTH AGO!!

An old friend contacted me which was weird, cause we haven't chatted in a while. He was like "Hey, please don't be mad, i connected to a public network and got hacked, and they mass reported you and my other friends" And then they sent me a pretty convincing screenshot of an email from discord themselves.

He then redirected me to someone who was supposedly on the Discord team, but it was at that point i started to get suspicious, and it was around that point i just blocked them...

I almost fell for it lol but my discord account is still pretty much intact lmao...

I lost my account and a lot of money due to this scam. This happened to me months ago and no matter how many times I contacted discord to save my account, they never gave me a response. All I received were automated emails

I still feel ashamed to this day, but as I am neurodivergent and often take people's words seriously and literally, I was an easy target
