⛔Identifying Common Scams

This page will teach you about critical thinking and the ways to verify if a discord server really offers what you are paying for.

⚠️ You can find a list of currently active scam servers [here] ⚠️

Hints:

If a seller offers unbelievably good features like "rollback", "dupe", "infinite something" for a popular game, then you must be extra cautious while buying it.

If they claim to have a "buyers only" server where you will get invited to after purchase, this should raise a red flag. Especially if it is combined with a read-only public server where no one can send a message.

If they only accept non-refundable payment methods such as crypto, gift cards, in-game items, this should raise a red flag.

Steps to identify:

If they claim that they are using Luarmor, you might instantly assume that they are legit. However, this is not always the case. Anyone can purchase a Luarmor API key and invite the bot to their server.

Even though we take down these kind of scam servers upon report, some might go unnoticed due to no one bringing it to our attention. (See how to report a scam server)

You can find a list of common & known scam servers at the bottom of the page.

Step 1 - Check if the discord bot is really in the server

Let's take a look at this example:

There is no reason for a seller to have a "buyers only" server, Luarmor already has a buyer role system that allows you to separate buyers & non-buyers in one discord server only.

You may also notice that the discord bot is not even in the server in the first place. This should be a massive red flag for any buyer.

Here is another example of this:

The discord bot was invited at some point, but is no longer in the server. And the seller is making up an incorrect statement about it. This should convince you to leave the server immediately.

Step 2 - Verify the discord bot is real.

Currently active Luarmor bots can be found at https://luarmor.net/bot

If the discord bot is IN THE SERVER, and seems to be responsive, right click on it -> copy ID. Then compare it to the IDs on official page above.

If everything seems to be consistent, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 3 - Read what others said about it

If the server has a #vouches channel, check what it looks like.

If all vouches seem to be sent by the same people (as screenshots), this should raise another massive red flag. There is no way to verify if a screenshot is real. After all, it is a combination of pixels that you can paint one by one.

Here is an example of what looks like a bad feedback channel:

All of the screenshots are sent by the same 1-2 accounts that belongs to server owners. In this case, you can never know if they are real or not. Any screenshot can be faked. Even if they were posted by real user accounts, you must check each account and see if they are real (e.g if they have booster badge, old join date, activity in other communities, mutual servers etc.)

Still not sure?

You can create a ticket in #support category in our discord server (discord.gg/luarmor) and ask if a seller is legitimate or not. Please make sure to include a discord server link in the ticket (like gg/jCHkq)

How to report a scam server?

You can create a support ticket in our discord (discord.gg/luarmor) and send all evidence you have.

Please note that we are very skeptical about these reports and will ignore your submission if any information you submitted seems inconsistent to staff.

Required details for a scam report:

Valid server invite (send as gg/abcdefg)
Screenshots of all channels in the server (especially #vouches, #panel, #get-script etc.)
Server ID and owner IDs.
Any payment made by you, with screenshots of tickets / DMs. If you are banned from the server, send us the payment receipt or any proof of payment that clearly states that it is made for that script.

We will evaluate these details and if they are using Luarmor, we will take needed actions. If they are not using Luarmor, there isn't much we can do.
