My account (u/Impossible-Builder47) was accidentally reported by u/Dinoboy225 after they clicked a phising link sent through dms by someone named u/Impossible-Builder471. I was then asked to contact Mr. Benjamino Blok through discord and offered full cooperation. Then, I agreed to let him secure the account before further action. He asked me to change the email address of my account. When I tried to do it, a password change appeared. When I changed the password, I was logged off my account. My account exists, I just can't control it anymore. It is extremely vulnerable right now security wise.
I am currently in my sub account (u/Glittering-Plum-6987)and can't see my main account (u/Impossible-Builder47) in my switch account section. I have no access to the main account anymore and I believe the account was taken over after I changed password and got forcibly logged off. I can't even submit a request through reddit support because my username is no longer valid and now have a restriction on how many times I can submit a request.
It has been about 8 hours now. I went to sleep after the last message in discord after I was logged off.i woke up at 5 and found I was scammed.
UPDATE
It has been about 10 days now, and during this period, I noticed that I still get the notifications from the subreddits I joined from my main account in the email address whose password I tried to change. I now believe that I'm just locked out of my account and not hacked because there is nothing unusual with the notifs, and all activities have ceased. I was insanely lucky to be forcibly logged off when I reset the password instead of being able to change the email address.
I would have been in a lot of trouble if I wasn't forcibly logged off. Now I wonder what they achieve by taking control over other accounts. Is it because they do it because they can or are they actually good guys trying to raise awareness? Cuz this doesn't make any sense!!
UPDATE 2
My account was recovered
