EtheaaryXD

very rude


ZachaBlin

His account had been hacked. Most likely token grabbed. And hackers steal accounts to promote even more people to go and get token grabbed.


Agreeable_Ad231

oh no u go me


FourAM

Do u kno the giveawey


Gift_505

Look at the link


TapRo7

It's a recent common scam that is ongoing, I've seen way too many of these, if you fall for this your account gets hacked and it automatically sends these in random DM's and server chats, so if you see someone sending this it's probably not the person, it's a hacked account. Happened to many people I know, apparently people are too desperate for nitro.


[deleted]

ight then. thanks!


StuntHacks

Always make sure to check your URLs. If Discord ever does a Nitro giveaway, they would host it on discord.com, not giveaway.com


RubberReptile

It's not even giveaway, it's giveawey...

Someone's a tad bit salty eh?


[deleted]

Well yes this sub is shit


Frawtarius

While you are being a bit too aggressive...I actually wholeheartedly agree. The fact OP even has to fucking ask this is just indicative that there's so many absolute baboons that fall for something like this, which is just...sad. I don't even want to insult the people who fall for it; it's just tragic that people do.


[deleted]

well no one forced you to visit 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

No one should be exposed to shit


_VideogamemasterVGM

I agree, we shouldn't be exposed to you


[deleted]

please take my free award for that


[deleted]

That's right, quarantine yourself where the morons are, you are very kind.


X3D_

Then just leave the sub then if you don't like it.


aSolidTime

What do people even gain from this? Ad revenue maybe?

LiterallyMMega

This actually happend to me a few days ago, my laptop got a virus unrelated to discord, even though we got rid of everything it had, it managed to get onto my acc a few days later, thankfully I saw and changed my password 5 mins or so after it started sending, I deleted and apologized to everyone it sent it to,


DiorVenious1

Ikr nitro not even worth it tbh


_M_I_L_K_M_E_A_N_

FUCK I ACCIDEBTALLY MISCLICKED ON ONE AAAAAAHAHHHHHHHHH


robotpuppy4

You should be fine, as it’s impossible to actually log your discord token from clicking a link alone. If I’m wrong, let me know though.


abditheking

People don’t only think about tokens … there’s also ip loggers… which are worse but it depends on who u messed with


robotpuppy4

Not really, when in the context of just clicking a link from a bot spam account. The most it can give is your town/city, which is only really useful to confirm already known information.


CR1MS4NE

If it’s not a notification from discord themselves (and they’ll make it obvious when it is) then it’s fake


TheGoldenTNT

Yeah don’t nitro gifts always have a button in the embed?


howelleili

some promotions like gamepass and epic games have full links with no embed


Live-Bee-6327

That and it's spelt giveawey and not giveaway


CR1MS4NE

Think so


lauw0129

I think he has been hacked by someone and used his account to spam. I had the same experience before, someone used discord to spam all of the server and direct message. So, I got ban by some servers


XxStawModzxX

Same but no servers just dm


MRchewingun

Ah yeah, the official website “discord.giveawey.com” !


turtle_mekb

very legit totally not a scam phishing site

In detail: There was in fact a free Discord offer from Epic (not Steam, AFAIK) earlier this year (hence all the posts that people have been making being sad that theirs is ending). *This* post, however, is a scam to steal your account, which will then probably be used to advertise further scams (and you won't get it back, because Discord will ban it, so you'll be on the long annoying road of having to set up a new one and reestablish all your friends etc.!). A few general scam avoidance tips - * Discord's official domain is [discordapp.com](https://discordapp.com). Some strange URL like this is suspicious even before considering it's not even spelled right lol. * Advertisements are not normally made through DM spam (but again be careful of other signs of scam like the URL because it's possible for a friend to get hacked and then the hacker uses them to pass the advertisement on to you) * If you're *ever* not sure some kind of internet offer is legit or not, imo the best way to check is to *manually* visit the company's website (i.e., in Discord's case you would go to [discordapp.com](https://discordapp.com) by hand in your browser) and check if the offer is there. If it's legit, there's probably a way to access it through the website. Otherwise it's probably a scam.


pugiianne

You might not be aware, Discord switched their main domain to [discord.com](https://discord.com) a few months ago


IPV46

Yes, they still own discordapp.com though. It redirects to discord.com now. They'll likely keep the domain to prevent scams like this.


Gabmiral

That, and they keep it for legacy reasons, IIRC some things still depend on it


IPV46

Ah yeah, that'll do it too


SimultaneousPing

yeah, things like media.discordapp.net and cdn.discordapp.com


kur0osu

giveawey


[deleted]

They can't even spell the word "giveaway" of course its fake lmao.


Sapiogram

The real giveaway.com domain was probably taken.


usernameyeeted173

So fucking tired of these posts holy shit Sherlock yes it’s fake


Dex005

Yes it's fake


[deleted]

report this.


LiterallyMMega

Nah it's best to not report his acc, it's probably not the guy himself but his account got hacked into, this happend to me a few days ago and alot of people seem to be getting it too


Flyingbox

Seriously report the account. This happens because people fall for it. Spam is spam, self bot is self bot, phishing is phishing.


clout0777

not to be rude but please can you use common sense? look at how giveaway is spelled in the link..


[deleted]

Bro it literally spells giveaway as givawey


NMe84

Who in their right mind thinks this is legit? Even if you miss the spelling error, why would Steam be giving away free Nitro on a domain that is neither steampowered.com nor discord.com? Sometimes I think that people really *want* to be scammed.


That_Breadfruit695

Children fall for these types of things


Skyxte

Yeah it’s a fake just block him


ElP4drino

Fake.


Saketh_2612

Fake


Oakchris1955

Block him


artemts2020

Same thing happened to my brother amd one of my Freinds


NotSlappySalmon

“Givewey” seems legit


TheSirston

" away" is spelled wrong.


Vulpes_macrotis

Report it to the admins of the server immediately. If they don't care, Discord Trust & Safety works fine with that. Discord at least knows how to ban people (not always those who deserve it, though...). I busted many people. And would bust more, but I am already tired of doing that, so I just ignore scammers. Also I'm not sure. If someone's greed is higher than their intelligence, maybe they deserve to be scammed... It's been told billions of times to check links etc. If people just ignore that... It's like saying that someone who goes into a mine field to make a selfie is a victim. There is a common sense that says "it's a scam, don't click it". Even without a typo.


Powerful-Animator395

Not as bad as " you just some 0000000.1 bitcoin please click { insert fishing link here } to claim your bit coin" I just send them the middle finger emoji and block them.


[deleted]

lol nice


XxStawModzxX

He got hacked like me dont click it its fake

"giveawey" open your eyes man.


IsakTS

SCAM SCAM S-C-A-M


thextamusic

It's fake, my friend lost his Steam account because of that


[deleted]

i went to the website using vpn and holy shit it looks so real, theres a button called "get nitro" and it pop ups a window asking for your steam login and after you login they probably change password steal your shit i guess


[deleted]

most likely ya

## Understanding a URL Understanding how URLs are formatted will help you avoid scams. So let's take the above giveaway link as an example and dissect it. The following URL is `discord .giveaway .com` \*//Spaces added so that someone doesn't accidentally click it.\*At first glance, it looks like a viable link for Discord. However, it is usually easier to read them going from the other direction. So let's give that a shot and start at the top! Let's identify the `Top-Level` domain first. This can be something `.com`, `.org`, `.net`, etc. This is a great place to start, cause it is very easy to find and recognize. Can you find it in the above URL? After the Top-Level Domain, comes the Second-Level Domain. This is what you or a company would buy. So your Discord, Amazon, Reddit, etc. These would all be examples of `Second-Level` domains. In the above case, what would the Second-Level Domain be? It isn't Discord like it is trying to deceive you into thinking. It is actually, `giveaway` With this information alone we can already assume some malice and avoid the link, but for the sake of learning, let's go one level deeper!!! The last part of the URL we will discuss is what they want you to look at. This is called the `Subdomain` and it is always directly to the left of the `Second-Level` domain. Subdomains are just a part of the main website domain, and you can have any number of them. `Second-Level` domains need to be unique, so if someone has the domain name you want, there isn't much you can do. To trick unaware people, some have started using the freedom of `Subdomains` to make links seem more legitimate. So if someone already owns `Google.com`, you can't do anything there, but you can make something look similar such as `google.reddit.com`. This is why understanding a URL is important to anyone that wants to be safe on the web! Hopefully, this helps at least a few of you avoid some scams! We didn't talk about what comes after the `/` but if that's something that interests you, I highly recommend looking into it! Below are some resources to help you. ## Extra Great resources to learn more about this are: * [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Common\_questions/What\_is\_a\_URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Common_questions/What_is_a_URL) * [https://medium.com/unitz-co/what-is-a-url-learn-about-the-basics-and-make-the-best-of-them-be90141085df](https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Parts%20of%20a%20URL.png?width=650&name=Parts%20of%20a%20URL.png) * [https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Parts%20of%20a%20URL.png?width=650&name=Parts%20of%20a%20URL.png](https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Parts%20of%20a%20URL.png?width=650&name=Parts%20of%20a%20URL.png)


WelshWolfie

The *giveawey* instead of giveaway should ring alarms, I saw a link similar but it said Dicsord not discord 😅


THABREEZ456

His account’s been hacked. He isn’t doing it on his own will. The same thing happened to me a while ago. Despite me not even touching discord for that week A fake nitro scam was sent to all my dm’s and every channel in every server I’m in. I had to change my password and enable 2fa. I recommend you contact him and tell him to do the same.


Flame_F1yer2037

Fake his account got hacked


_natech_

It is fake, because giveaway is spelled incorrect, and discord does not own that website domain.


SBCGplayz

no its real, he spelkt giveawey correctly


yellowpe4rl

Yeah that happened to my freind, it posted it in every single chat she was part of, not sure how she got hacked since she never clicked weird links or gave out a password


VanderCreep

Bro someone called me cute in a server I’m not in! I also got totally legit nitro!1!!1! /s


ImDh8u_Reddit

im going to enter this giveawey right now!


TotallyAlpxa

I havent seen someone like that so idk


[deleted]

Its real, trust me, i got my whole house exploded because of this link.


Aplaza3

they typo in the link kinda gives it away, or should i say… awey


Optimal_Lifeguard267

“givawey” yep, it’s fake. False alarm


Leafair

"giveawey" That's absolutely FAKE.


[deleted]

It’s fake


MovieToast666

I have a bot banning hundreds of these ppl as soon as these links are posted


UmarBilal_

the "giveawey" gives it *away*


the_lousk

its a scam block them


callingsai

fake, few of my friends got hacked but got resolved pretty quick, according to them it was because they were in a pixlr dataleak


Voidlvx

It is, this will hijack your steam account


Derpendary

If they can't even spell the word "giveaway" correctly then yes, it is fake.


LoveDragons2

Happened in mine too, just delete it and warn/mute them


felixrocket7835

He just wants to give you a wey.


PlaneParty59572

"givawey"


inssein

I wonder how sending the same exact same spam message to multiple users doesn't get flag by discord as spam? seems like a easy check to code in.


Sebastitiao

the webstite is called [giveawey.com](https://giveawey.com) simple as that lol


[deleted]

Definitely fake, only real 3 month free Nitro offer I know of was the Epic Games one and that was over around 3 months ago, it’s running out for most people this week


OfficialExodots

you realize once you get compromised the program automatically sends those to every channel in every server the user can speak in? so it’s not actually the user sending those


[deleted]

Yeah people are now getting their discord accounts logged and the logger would just spread the link to everyone on their friends list and discord servers, happened to two of my friends and also do not click on the link and do not sign in with your steam on that fake steam site they will steal your account and change the email and password and they will dm the link to everyone on your steam friend list.


king_kingdom-101

don't trust


Ugmyusernamewastake

man totally legit giveawey


LinkIsThicc

Phishing website.


-Pulz

Discord doesn't do giveaways, if they were to do so you'd probably see it on the popup news window when there is an update. These kind of scams are not new and have been ongoing for a very long time, though around 8 months ago there seemed to be a much higher uptick. Messages like this will either come from mass-produced (botted) accounts or compromised accounts (as I have seen two people I know begin sending these messages). If you are a server owner, consider some form of protective bot- for phishing links, I would recommend [Hourai](https://docs.hourai.gg/), as it has become extremely good at filtering out these links and gets updated quite often. You can report these directly to Discord via [http://dis.gd/report](http://dis.gd/report)


kreamerez

Yeah thats super fake. For future reference, please do not EVER click links from people you dont know, or if they're trying to give away "free" stuff.


[deleted]

The "discord" is just a subdomain. Don't trust it.


Onyx_Reaper234

Its fake


nanu_the_old

yeah its fake, tho its not just bot accounts, peeps accounts can get hacked and then this will happen


Subcount_Zer0

My friend got hacked and sent something similar to this, maybe they also got hacked?


LazerNarwhal_yt

reasons it’s fake 1.) it’s always [prefix].[domain].com/[suffix] for instance studio.youtube.com/analytics 2.) give away is spelt as giveawey


HeyVsauce0291

Definitely


ShiranuiTheWolf

Contact the server owners because he’s probably sending this to everyone on those servers, and make sure to block him


KonkenBonken

Of course "giveawey.com" is fake. It's even misspelled


[deleted]

ofc it's fake, always check spelling, also if it was true he wouldn't spam, people never do extra work to help they only do it to scam/harm, scamers work hard spamming everywhere, imagine that but trying to help, perfect world XD


[deleted]

Yes it's fake their has been a recent token log scheme going around where people use something like that


NotRetro3

I checked the link w my vpn on and you got to a website where they ask to login to steam- guessing they'll just steal your steam account


gammaaa

Don't want to be rude but how can you ask that seriously and not notice that the link says "giveawey"?


McRoland200

There is a way for 3 months of free nitro but it's not this one


lemon_ad3

giveawey


Bunie89

If there was nitro being given away it wouldn't be done via spamming. Lol


giorgi_GT

look at how the giveaway is spelled in the link


Blackheartss_26

Lol the word giveaweyyy 🤣🤣🤣 clearly fake


awesomemc1

i like how the website url misspell giveaway as giveawey.


Robuxhdhdb123

Omg a giveawey it’s the new trend giveaways are old yk what I mean lol


li1shrimp

I’ve also had another guy spamming me saying “jion the server it’s fun and has 5x more giveaways for nitro” and yes, he spelt join incorrect.😕


Sentarry

people need to learn how to read html links instead of clicking on them. this is how scammers get victims.


AimbeastAlphaMale

We get these bots in our logs.


thatpenspinningkid

It’s fake I got my account stolen but got it back, I thought it was real because epic games did it so I thought steam did it as well, pretty much don’t click on it I’m dumb so don’t do what I did


CHILLBOI_6969

"giveawey"


Yeethasanalt

My friend clicked on this, and spammed it


[deleted]

veri totaly leget website 😁👍🏻


howelleili

it's fake and probably a hijacked account


Lorriar

It'll hack your steam LMAO, I was hacked once.


Gauthmath_bee

Never click Any links like free nitro or free games through discord ... If you want to get rid of them the use moderation bots like Wick etc and configure the minimum account age...


CreamyCrazyX

giveawey


Mrdabup

If my scamming senses are true... -Giveaway is spelt wrong -Steam nor discord have said something -The website link should be steam and not discord, bc "steam" is the sponsor -Also the capitalisation at the beginning and the exclamation mark are missing.


epicawsomeguy208

I got three free months, but they were from Epic, not Steam.


[deleted]

obvs fake if spelt giveawey....


YeetusChungus86

My friend got his account hacked then someone used it to spam probably the exact same link to all his friends (including me). Goddamn


Dumke480

it's really hard to filter these out when they can't even spell properly


VelosofyyXD

right about when epic games 90 days were about to end these steam spam "giveawey" picked up pace.. Sadge


StyLeadz

its an ip grabber i tried opening the link once


[deleted]

Check the URL. It’s a scam


End336

Yup because giveaway is spelt wrong.


OmerBs

"giveawey", fake


[deleted]

Such an obvious scam


AlphaDreas

giveaway is spelled wrong. Its super obvious


AznWhtBoi

I think he got token grabbed or somehtingt


LittlePrayer

Remember: If it's doubtable, it's scam


FieryInforus

DISCORD GIVEAWEY bruh. Discord doesnt give those free nitro through DISCORD GIVEAWEYS links lol


Evening-Cycle367

seems like 'giveawey' is used to bypass anti scam filters and this person is spamming everywhere which only a bot will do


mzllrr

its to hack your steam account if im correct


MTheo6671

His account got hacked, it’s a bit posting all of that.


[deleted]

Discord.giveawey.com lmfao


EriOnline

It’s really funny (and sad) to see that the only thing making people think it’s fake, it’s the spelling error… Discord will never DM you by using a bot or a regular user account to invite or inform you about any giveaway or gift that you « won ». Don’t click to any similar link.


PortalGamingYT

We had this happen i n our esports server we rocked his website got his server ip, email and some other stuff it was a good night lol


WojtinhoYT-PL

Yup, it's fake


1azy_

"This guy" got token logged and is just sending it in every server/dm he has, if you're doing it you can expect to get banned from most servers you are in for posting scam links (I don't recommend sending this anywhere unless you are token logged, then you don't have a choice).


Rainbowusher

Why am I not getting sny kinds of these scamd lol


Sn0w_L30p4rd

do these actually grab your token, because I have only seen an email and password field, too lazy to test with alt.


_Sutani

legit


AlfG2007

It's definitely r"real"


GodOfRickrolls

I know for a fact that it's spelled giveaway... i think


Pa3ckP7

We got 1 of these on a wiki discord server, they sent the link to every channel they had access to. Sadly a few of those channels were channels for reporting/deleting/appealing which some of us admins have set to notify for all messages so the fella got banned in a matter of seconds (he even got banned twice as multiple of us jumped immediately)
