Discord Staff Impersonation (custom status scam)

[Shonne]

So recently I've been seeing more and more users with the "Discord Staff" status under their name, it is situated right under their name exactly where "playing" status would be (e.g. "playing CS:GO".
I'm pretty sure this is a new feature to Discord, and after googling it and researching it, I found that Discord added a custom status feature that only a certain percentage of people have it. (A bit like when screenshare was introduced.) This status can be changed to anything you want and can include emojis.

So essentially some people are abusing this, there are people going around Discord with the "Discord Staff" status under their name, trying to convince people to hand them their accounts, money, nitro codes etc.

I just wanted to share this with you guys and to perhaps warn you about it.

I attached some examples of people attempting to scam my friends with the "Discord Staff" status on.

And not to mention CoinIsHOt is literally apart of this LMAOO

There’s a command line you can insert through the console of Discord on the web client through F12 and in the main client on Windows through another command I forget, but it gives you a custom online status, besides that, there’s also ways to get Custom Rich Presences through creating an application on Discord and doing some bamboozling.

Don’t trust anyone who contacts you claiming to be a Discord staff unless they have the badge, and even if they do, cross-verify it through the official Discord email. Discord Support will not contact you through Discord unless you have a pre-existing conversation, you create a conversation or if they want to tell you something.

Additional: The way they did it was through switching their game to Google Chrome and changing Google Chromes name in the Activity section of Discord to Discord Staff with that Unicode Emoji and the beginning of it.
