Scam Defense & Prevention on Discord

These guidelines regard our Discord community

-Bitcoin (or any crypto) giveaways are a scam. 
-BEWARE of imposters! Our staff will never DM you asking for personal or financial information or anything suspicious. *See Below*
-Being selected for a special offer or promotion is a scam.
-A professional financial advisor will not contact you offering to use their service. If someone claims so, it's a scam.
-Random DM's saying anything like "I see we're on a mutual server. We should share trading ideas." Don't reply, it's a scam.
-Someone offering an investment opportunity is a scammer.

 

It's best to disable your direct messages on our Discord server. This prevents you from being targeted with any DM's from potential scammers.

To do this on a PC:

  1.  Right-click the server icon and choose Privacy Settings.
  2.  Toggle off "Direct Messages. (This will block DM's only from our server.)

To do this on mobile:

  1. Click the server name at the top of the channel list.
  2.  Scroll down and toggle of Allow Discord Messages. (This will block DM's only from our server.)

Be suspicious of every direct message you receive in Discord. If you don't know, recognize, or have never chatted with them on the server, it is 99% likely to be a scam! It is a good idea to disable your DMs on any type of investing or financial server.

NVSTly staff, team, and analysts will NEVER request personal or financial information, nor will they contact you with exclusive offers, investment opportunities, or anything else suspicious.If someone claiming to be associated with us does so, please report them immediately. All support is done through the NVSTly Support bot on Discord or through a contact method found on our contact page ([email protected])

Don't give your email to someone you don't know. They can spoof an email to make it look legit. Anyone representing a brokerage, trading app, or a legit entity be cautious, suspicious, and vigilant- use their contact method on their website and not from a link they gave you.

Scammers target servers and communities like ours frequently and come up with many scam techniques. There are also imposters claiming to be someone they are not. Over a dozen have impersonated our team. We have methods in place to combat all this, but they will never be 100% effective. You need to use good judgement and protect yourself.
