"COURT OF CIVIL LAW" LOL. I was added by a random who claimed he accidentally reported me. Pretty believable—it happens. And I'm not familiar with Discord procedures, so I went along and added a so-called "mod." From there it became fishy from the start, but I decided to play along and wait until he hit me with the "insert password" line. Not even two minutes in, he drops the line. So I had my conclusion confirmed and told him about it... which resulted in an instant block. Watch it folks! Be safe. Edit: Seriously. Redditors... oh my. Downvoting for what? Just because it's a known scam doesn't mean it can't hurt to still report it.
