I did a quick scan of your posts and realized you did not give out your Discord - if you given someone your discord (only 1) - you have a case that he is doing a fake impersonation scam.

You probably got scammed by an imposter. And if someone is telling you that they work for HF and dealing via Discord without a contract, you are definitely getting scammed by an imposter.

I would recommend reading this thread about the contract system - https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5873062

it's not an impersonator though that's the thing.

Talk to Discord if you had a bad experience on their platform.

No one works for HF. It's obvious someone pumped you up with lies then scammed you. Likely an imposter. You should report to Discord that you were scammed on their service.
