1/ So just like any other scam they hit you up looking for a collaboration, or a job offer or something like that, then you're asked to verify yourself. Keep in mind this is a FAKE verified Wick bot. It will ask you to scan a QR code to verify yourself
2/ How does the scam work?
When you go on the discord login page, it has a "Log in with QR Code" option. In this case, scammers are using chrome drivers to open the login page, get the QR code image, then send it to the discord bot, asking people to verify themselves.

3/ As soon as anyone scans the QR code, it logs the scammer in and instantly grabs the victim's discord token, which provides access to the account and bypasses 2FA.
If your discord token is compromised, all you have to do is reset your password and it will reset your token.
