Fake Discord Bot Nitro Scam

Scammers use fake Discord bots to send DMs claiming you've won free Nitro or server boosts. These scams trick users into joining servers unwillingly, allowing the owners to sell the server later for profit.

How does it work? You receive a DM from a fake bot claiming you won free Nitro or server boosts. The bot provides a link to a Discord server, asking you to join. These servers inflate their member count artificially so the owners can sell them to other buyers. Some scams go further by tricking users into entering their Discord login details, leading to account theft.

How to prevent it? Watch for red flags: Discord will NEVER send Nitro gifts via a bot. All legitimate Nitro gifts stay within Discord’s interface. Unsolicited Nitro offers in DMs. If you didn’t enter a giveaway, why would you win? Servers asking you to join before receiving a reward. Legitimate giveaways don’t force server joins. Urgency or pressure. Scammers claim rewards are "limited" to make you act fast.

How to fix it if you were a victim? If you suspect a fake bot scam: Do NOT click the link or join the server. Report the bot to Discord: Go to Discord’s Developer Support Page: Submit a Report Select "Developer Compliance." Enter your email and choose "Report an app/bot." Provide the requested details and submit the report.

If you joined the server or entered your credentials: Leave the server immediately. Change your Discord password. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Check for unauthorized apps in Settings > Authorized Apps.

Final Reminder: Discord will NEVER send Nitro gifts via a bot. Always verify Nitro claims—if it’s real, the entire process stays within Discord. Stay cautious and don’t fall for fake giveaways! NTTS covered this scam in-depth: Watch here | Official Discord Nitro Gift FAQ
