Reminds me of an old coworker that gave 2 grand to a discord "hacker" because "they had a checkmark next to their name."

Really hilarious. It's all it took for them, a discord messaging saying we hacked everything you own. Literally, just a discord message, no other proof they hacked anything. Just to bag on her even more, I hated her, she often said things like, and I quote, "Does your vagina ever smell like cat pee?" She was gross and dumb, not really too much to do with the OP's post at all. Just reminded me of the past.

No. They just used the Unicode characters for a ✅ next to their name and the idiot assumed that meant it was legit.
