So I used some profane words in the username and password, and was told the account does not exist. So I had a look at them and initially decided to see what happens if I enter an non-existent account and random password. Clicking it then either opens a popup window (Which in my case, using Opera GX, did not allow me to see the URL used to log into Steam), while the other takes you to /something/login on the actual site itself. After clicking the links, the site gave me a quick run down of the Discord Nitro perks, the subscription time, etc. I was already feeling like this is likely a scam, before I even saw the sketchy looking links. These are 1 month or 3 month subscriptions, and all you have to do is sign up with your Steam account. So here's how it starts: Some random user posts a few links in a Discord server claiming there's a free Discord Nitro giveaway.
I was 100% expecting the account to be stolen in some way or another, and used it with the sole purpose of seeing how this scam works, and if it was possible to recover the account at all. I created it years ago, forgot about it, and tried to create a new account just to see what these scammers were up to, only to find out about the pre-existing account. I want to preface this by saying that the account that was stolen in the following story was not one I ever planned on using.
