I Was Offered $1,050 for My Discord Account

Highest offer - $2,900

on July 30, 2021 (with proof of funds)

The other day, I got a DM on Discord. I get a lot of random DMs (chad noises intensify), but the ones with broken English usually go about the same way.

** sends friend request even though my DMs are open **
                
them: hi, how r u?
me  : can't complain, how can I help you?

** 20 minutes of intense silence **

them: can i ask u a question?
me  : sure
them: please be understanding. are you willing to sell your account?

(Side note: don't ask to ask)

At this point, I usually try to engage them. I think this habit started with tech support scammers, who I often engage because every second they're talking to me is a second they're not talking to someone who's actually vulnerable. Nine times out of ten, there's nothing malicious about what these folks are doing, but every once in a while, you get someone sending a token stealer with some obfuscated JS.

Anyway, the DM I got the other day started with $850 and worked its way up to $1,050 even though I said "no thanks" to every offer.

The reason my account is worth so much to these individuals is because I have a little blue badge that says "Early Verified Bot Developer". I'm incredibly proud of this badge because I had been working on my bot called VC2 for a few years when I was invited to apply. However, this badge is no longer attainable after people started spamming bot verification requests in attempt to get the badge.

I get an offer like this about once every two weeks. Realistically, I don't see myself ever selling my account because it's been a huge part of my life for nearly 5 years. Nonetheless, I'll keep my DMs open just in case someone offers seven figures for it.
