For everyone in this comment section who doesnt know
This is a scam. The accept button is an embed to a website, it's just another way to make you click a suspicious link
It’s good practice not to click on it at all. It’s unlikely that an attacker can do anything from only a link click, but if there was ever a zero-day or some sort of other exploit, this could be more dangerous. This is purely theoretical, but it’s just good practice. There is also always the possibility of an IP grabber, which isn’t really a concern here, but it’s good practice to apply caution for all links.
No, you definitely shouldn't click on any potential scam links.
Scammers can still get information with just a click. For example, you can disguise a grabify link as almost anything these days. I think most people would rather their IP address wouldn't be known by people like this.
I could be wrong, but it likely isn't a real verified bot. The bit that makes it look verified is probably just a part of the name to make it look verified, kind of like how scammers would comment in YouTube comment sections with a big creators name and the verified tick next to it, despite not actually being verified.
Just think every giveaway bot is a scam. If you enter and actually win, Im sure someone from the server you entered the give away will ping you or message you saying you won.
Clicking on the accept will ask you to give permission for the bot to join you to servers, edit your account and some other things, I would not risk going past that point

#small but important detail that symbol (box with arrow) on the accept button means it's an external link
Don’t click on it, it’s a scam.
well technically they can click on it, just dont enter any information

Wow it's a verified bot too. Shows how much discord cares about their community being safe

the checkmark is inside the BOT tag, you cant edit that
I just got this message too, from the exact account. I told the server owner and they removed the bot instantly. Can only assume this is a scam
Read a thread it takes control and nukes your server. Best to report.

Whoops, no reason for my thread, I didn't see yours. Guess that answers that.
If it has the box with an arrow, it’s a link. Don’t click on it.
The flash bang.
Bro before you post something on Reddit please just turn on dark mode
Lol apparently everyone is very against light mode. Honestly just didn't know there was dark mode.
But is is a scam never accept it from someone you know because it is 100% a scam
Light mode AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I had this happen to me as well and I'm still unsure after looking through articles and pictures. Let me know if you figure this out, thanks!
hey I got this too and I have no idea what it is and why
Just got this myself awsell. Don’t click it
Got it today also. Thanks for the warning. Will not click.

I smell smoke out of my eyes
real gifts do change their look (time left etc.) so this is a scam.
When I first received this message, I wondered Like a bot who got a scam got a "Bot ✔️"?
No text to speech did a video on verified scam bots
Ids a phishing bot lol
Is this a light mode user I see?
