Description

I was invited to a Discord server where a “verification bot” requested that I log in with my Microsoft account to prove my identity. The bot asked for my email and the security code sent by Microsoft. After entering the code, a scammer used it to hijack my Microsoft account, lock me out, and change my recovery information. Shortly after, the scammer contacted me on Discord under the username “onlygabie” (aka “-c-”) and admitted to having control of my account. They demanded a $15 ransom to return it. The same individual is also associated with the Hypixel username “oWRLD.” This scam targets Microsoft accounts, especially gamers, by tricking people into handing over legitimate verification codes. Victims lose access to their accounts, games, and purchases. Please be aware that no legitimate service will ever ask you to provide a Microsoft verification code in Discord or any third-party app.
