I received messages about an account that wasn’t mine, to an email address that wasn’t even the one I used back when I still had Discord.

It seems to be them, their address is correct, and is properly signed as far as I can tell.

What is even going on here. Come on, Discord.

I would assume this is a phishing scam

Probably. The links in those messages are Discords domain plus alphabet soup, so who knows, they’re terrible with user data.

Never click a link in a email!

(Maybe those click to verify links sent as 2factor when you click the button, but never a unsolicited email)

No no, I didn’t click, just hovered over them to see what they were

it’s genuine, was sent by Discord.

Does that even have to mean anything nowadays?
