Hypixel (a minecraft server for you non minecraft gamers), is filled with the most vile creatures.... scammers! While things are definitely getting better, one of the scams I encountered was something I've never seen before and I dubbed it "the automatic scam". Because it automatically scams you (genius writing I know).
Anyways this minecraft scam isn't solely restricted to Hypixel, in fact it can also be shown as a lunar client scam. Regardless, the scammer promises a free lunar cosmetic item or hypixel ranks and if you fall for the scam, you lose your minecraft account. Tough. And the worst part is the scammer is going to sell it to another loser for like $70, smh my head.

As an active Hypixel Skyblock Player since 2019, people tried to get access to my account or items through various means already. The most menacing I had was an old friend of mine who quit DMing me on discord if he could borrow around 2b worth of items (at the time multiple hundred dollar in irl value). I nearly ended up giving him the items, but what made me suspicious is that his minecraft IGN has changed and he always used to talk about wanting to keep it since he made many friends using that name. I ended up asking him if he remember our good friend XY who we used to play with, and he surprisingly said yes. That name was a completely made up one, so I got out of the scam like last second.

there is actually another way to get your minecraft account compromised, the scammer usually approaches you in game and asks if you would like to join a discord server for giveaways (ranks, items etc) and then he invites you to a discord server, but you need to verify that you are not a bot (they say its to make sure you are not an advertisement bot) by clicking a link and clicking a 'yes' button. it doesn't give you any information that you are sending your minecraft account token (token is the same thing as a roblox cookie) to the scammer. after u have clicked the button the scammers have access to your account and you've lost your precious block game items that you worked so hard for.

@Kirill17 Жыл бұрын

What they do makes it even worse in some cases, sometimes they've hacked into or have access to a high level account as the one shown in the video with Mvp++ and a black plus, which usually means people tend to trust those users more as having a black plus indicates some level of prestige

@Alxx_YT Жыл бұрын

yep, there's really no countering it so long as they have an endless supply of accounts to scam on. Scammers will always find a way around. Best players can do is get educated on scams, knowledge the new generation of internet users don't tend to have.

But i regret every singe penny i spent on lunar cosmetics for example, the money is now gone and I dont even use lunar client anymore since i switched to badlion(i dont have any cosmetics on badlion). However, I think my Optifine cape was worth it 100% just like my rank, it really makes my skin look cooler. You can compare it to someone spending $500 on a pullover, which I have never done, same for shoes.

as someone who used to play sb a lot and had a fairly large sb severe, you will be surprised at the number of people that fall for things like this.

That's so crazy, I used the same skyblock server as Angry_Pineapple. PvPingMC was just a great server, sadly it died.

The fact that little Timmy won the giveaway/duel for a free rank just to get Rickrolled is down right disrespectful

You can tell if it’s an official message from hypixel or a custom message by if there are asterisks before each line

My minecraft account got hacked because of the "Hey, wanna duel for a lunar cosmetic?" one... The account I've had for around 10 years. Just stolen by a man named BERTI... I wonder what's happened to that account I'd love to have it back but simply I can't afford another account and the sheer sentimental value that that account had for me... It was a trajedy upon losing it... I had bought a 10 quid optifine cape, VIP+ AND MVP+ on it.. Along with that I had a bunch of online friends (and youtuber friends) whom I'm never getting back. It just sucks to suck, though, I guess.

Me casually being on “Hypickle” and falling for this scam...

There are many scams like this but one of the worst is with custom made "skyblockmods", which basically are built like legitamate skyblock mods, tho they will steal you minecraft session ID resulting in basically the same thing as in the video. You can watch a good vid about it by for example cekofari, but there are many others.

I actually fell for something similar years ago. I was offered a free minecraft cape and, as a young dumb 7-8 year old, I went thru with it until my account got hacked and I got banned from Hypixel. Me and my brother shared the account at the time, so yeah, he got upset(luckily he doesn't play anymore, so he gave me his account). I didn't actually get unbanned until around 2 or 3 years ago, when I was 15 or 16. I never knew how to appeal the ban until that year, so I did manage to get my account back, and I always hate my young self whenever I think back to it.

I love how most of these scams take place on social media I don't and have no interest in using Scammer "you have a discord?" Me "nope" Scammer "can you make one to receive free gift?" Me "nope"
