Scams involving Discord

Discord servers are used for NFT rug-pulls, fake whitelists and drainer links.

Trace the funds

We follow money moved through Discord - linking accounts, devices and destination wallets or banks to build an evidence chain.

Engage the platform

We raise formal complaints and, where appropriate, disclosure requests with the platform and its regulators to freeze suspect accounts.

Recover your money

Where viable, we pursue chargebacks, civil recovery and settlement to return funds to you. Fees depend on your case and are agreed in writing before we begin.

Scams involving Discord - common questions

Can I get my money back from a Discord scam?

In many cases, yes - and the sooner you act, the more options remain. We trace where funds moved through Discord, request freezes and chargebacks with the banks and platforms involved, and pursue civil recovery where viable. Every Discord case is different, so we give you a free assessment and agree any fees in writing before we begin.

Is Discord a scam?

Discord is a legitimate community platform, but fraudsters impersonate and abuse it - most often through fake whitelist / nft mint links. These scams happen on or around Discord rather than by Discord itself, which is why reporting and recovery focus on the parties who misused it.

How do I report Discord fraud?

Stop all transfers on your Discord account, change your password, and export every transaction, chat and email as evidence. Then report it: we help you raise the complaint with Discord and its regulator, file with the fraud authorities in your country, and open a recovery case with us.

How long does Discord fund recovery take?

It depends on how the money was moved and how quickly it can be traced and frozen. Blockchain tracing can surface leads within days, while bank chargebacks and civil recovery take longer. We set out a realistic timeline for your specific Discord case during the free assessment.
