This Minecraft Scam Shocked Me!

there is a Minecraft scam that takes multiple shapes and forms but it always ends up with the same damn result your Microsoft account being stolen so we got a lot of ground to cover so let's just start off with the most hardcore scams on the planet you got a DM on Discord from high pixel promotions which is also a furry for some reason with this very sketchy link but that's not all it gets even worse I got this fancy DM from the most famous Discord bot giveaways boat now if you couldn't tell I'm just kidding these scams are absolute garbage compared to what I'm about to show you now this first scam honestly seems pretty harmless someone sends you a little message on the high pickle Minecraft server and they ask you if you want a duel for a lunar cosmetic and who would possibly turn down the opportunity of getting the twerk Emoji for free instead of paying eight dollars and fifty cents so of course you initiate in the most hardcore Duel of all time and uh to be honest I really wanted to do this live because I suck at Minecraft duels and the reason why this is important is because no matter what doesn't matter if you're completely dog at Minecraft this is your first time playing Minecraft you will 100 win because they throw the match and from there you you want your free lunar Cosmetics they ask if you have a Discord and from there you add them on Discord and they send you a very sketchy link but that's not the final form of this scam in fact it goes One Step deeper and this is one of my favorites we have this very sweet and handsome man giving away MVP plus plus now I know the words are on the screen telling you what the scam is but I'm saying it out loud because I can barely read what they're saying but getting MVP plus plus is a value of eight dollars if you've already spent your parents money on getting the other Minecraft server ranks MVP Plus which is 36 dollars but if you never spent money on high pickle before and you're a massive Chad then that's 44 dollars of value you could get just by winning this giveaway so you join their party and maybe just to get to know you a little bit more you know maybe you guys could be friends forever they invite you to their house and when you warp to their house the Holy Grail you just got gifted by slime ticks YouTube claim your MVP plus plus 30 days at ranks Dash hypixel.gift I did it I finally won a giveaway after all these years now pushing that whole acting aside I had no idea how someone did this but apparently when you joined someone's house they can have a message that pops up when he joined their house so all this person is doing is on high pickle they're just making their house join message look like this and of course they're just able to get away with it which is kind of weird anyways diving back into the insanity of this scam we have this ranks Dash hypixel.gift link and of course I think I'm winning MVP plus plus baby so I click join on this link wait what this website's

to go into this scam website so the first thing to notice is that this website looks extremely identical to the real Hypixel website so this is the fake one and this is the real one the only thing that really pops out is that the menu buttons have changed despite that menu bar just being different the rest of the website is extremely identical so just like the real Hypixel store it asks you to enter in your Minecraft username so I answer in my username and click on continue a VIP rank for absolutely free now of course I'd be pretty upset if I just got the VIP rank I was promised MVP plus plus and uh I don't have it that's a load of crap but regardless it's a free rank I'm just gonna take it anyways I need to enter in my email now in the actual Hypixel website it just tells you to proceed to checkout so I'm gonna enter in my Minecraft account email which I just made for this scam specifically and click on continue and once I click on continue it asks me to enter in my code now here's the thing I'm going to be completely honest this website isn't the best version of this scam in fact this is the real Hypixel checkout and I've actually seen seen a website that looks identical to this but instead of putting in your email address in that little thing here it tells you to put in your Microsoft email address on this checkout page and of course once you enter in your email address and you accept this stuff and click continue to payment it will ask for this same code and what this code is is a password reset code yes if you enter in a password reset code here then the scammers have access to your Microsoft account which contains your Minecraft account okay I'm gonna be honest I was editing this video getting screenshots and I realized that the Microsoft email that it sent you says password reset code right in it so it's really hard to see how people could fall for the scam and you're probably thinking the same thing too but here is the sad truth later on in the video I show you a Discord server that is selling these Minecraft accounts and there are a ton of accounts on that one server so believe it or not kids still do fall for this which is really unfortunate now the special thing about this one particular website is that it uses websockets which basically means instead of you having to click on the send button to have your password reset code sent instead it just monitors that specific little box and when you fill out that number that websocket just Scoops it up and sends it right to the scammer even if you're at that little page where you need to enter in that little code even if you type it in and you think for a second maybe I shouldn't send this it's already too late and the silly thing about this website is that if you try visiting it again after already being scammed once and you press on the enter key oh God it's taken a long time but when you go to the website it'll instantly redirect you to Rick Astley so not only have they scammed you but they also Rick Rolled you which is pretty brutal so what happens to your accounts when you fall for one of these scams well they might end up on a Discord server where someone's trying to sell it off all that time and energy you spent playing High pickle is gone for seventy dollars now if you are lucky enough to get contacted by one of these scammers and you know it's an actual scam then your main objective keep this in mind is to waste as much of their time as possible I get a lot of people emailing me about scams and the issue is is that they tell the scammer I know you're scamming and what happens is that they delete all their messages as you can see their messages are read because they are deleted but things can get a little bit worse what the scammer also did is make it so that you can't visit this website with this specific link for example I have it right here if I press enter instead of taking me to the scam website lunarclient Dash claim.site instead it takes me to Google so now what's next on the list for me is to go to fish.report and Report ranks Dash hypixel.gift because I don't want this website to stay up it's a fun website for me to mess around with this scammer but for anyone that might be losing their High pickle account it's not a very good thing so I did all I could do with this ranks Dash hypixel.gift website but there's one more thing I gotta deal with it's this Discord server so what I'm going to do is I am going to copy this message link go to discord's beautiful trust and safety page and fill out the form report abuse or harassment cheeks hacks malware or cracked accounts it's cracked or stolen accounts and it's gaming accounts and after a whole bunch of typing click on submit now one final thing is that you need to do your homework wow that sounded very menacing but what I want you to do is I want you to go to the link in the description you will see this High pixel post by Angry pineapple and it basically explains a whole bunch of types of high pixel scams pertaining to your Microsoft or Minecraft account it doesn't talk about the basic you know Hypixel trading scams it talks about scams that affect your account so always keep that in mind there will always be a new sea of scams but make sure you just read up on this and don't fall for the most obvious scams on the planet please anyways that's all sweetheart I love you very much bye-bye
