Main account hacked and perma banned
Let me start off by saying this is an alt account. My main account was hacked after I fell for a scam earlier this month from another user claiming that I sent them phishing links and had reported me for it. Of course, I panicked then the user told me to speak through Discord and told me to speak with someone from Reddit to help clear it up. I spoke with the person he mentioned he looked legit on the surface since he had a certificate from Reddit. But I wasn't smart enough to notice the red flags right away, like when he asked me to change my email address or when he asked to verify my date of birth and region, nor did he asked me to send money so to verify my transaction ID. I went to click on the link to my Reddit account out of curiosity other to discover to my shock it got banned.
I had that account for 8 years, only to see it got shocked me to my core and I have no way of getting it back. Any advice on how to do so will help.
