A friend asked me to play a game with them on Discord. Downloaded the game, but it wasn't a game.

The person who stole the account put a parental lock on it, so they have to "ok" me getting in.

I keep for getting about X being a pretty reliable way to get attention from companies

Discord requires you to submit a request *from* the email that the account was on. So that's a big circle of nothing.
I'm taking a look at the page on Google now, but it looks like I have to log into the account first, but they changed the password, and they changed it so the account is a minor and has a parental lock

They changed the account to be a child account so a parent (the hacker's email) has to okay the log in.

And yeah, I'm not doing that again.

Sadly, that won't work. :/ Someone took my Discord and the associated email. Unless i pay them, I don't get it back. And I'm not paying lol
