PSA: How to properly handle PM spammers advertising "trading groups"
Recently we have received reports of /r/wallstreetbets and /r/investing and /r/stockmarket users receiving unsolicited private messages advertising Discord servers, trading groups, or other shitty market-related services that require an entry fee and/or monthly subscription cost.
These messages are spam and we consider these assholes to be scammers. Full stop. (Here is a previous post with more details regarding this topic.)
Unsolicited PMs of this nature violate both Reddit and Discord ToS. You are welcome to notify us by sending us modmail, but if you want to help us end this issue:
- Report the unsolicited PM spam on Reddit by pressing the "Report" button or via https://www.reddit.com/report
- Report any Discord server they advertise via https://dis.gd/request or by emailing abuse@discordapp.com
- Block the sender on Reddit
Feel free to direct any further concerns or questions to modmail.
Please, if you don't feel like reporting the PM yourself feel free to upload a screenshot of the PM to Imgur and send it to us moderators. We will notify Discord and Reddit for you.

I am basically stealing this post from /r/wallstreetbets. Thank you /u/SwineFluPandemic - I am making some small edits. I figure a few of the larger investing subreddits should work together to remove this.
