Just had this shit happen to me, unfortunate the guy wasn't creative enough to humor me. Steam scammer thread?
Just had the same thing happen to me. What would make that scam work anyways?

Who would fall for this shit?
>>257763401

Does anyone have the one where the guy says "shut yo bitch ass up" and then logs off?
>>257763368
I don't know who could possibly be stupid enough to actually copy and paste that link into a browser bar, then enter their steam info into it. Maybe if it was a clickable link it might be more understandable but I mean damn, at some point you should notice the random u in the URL. This was a really lazy phishing attempt and I'm honestly kinda disappointed.
>mfw when that domainis a real website
>>257763203
so they want to go to their website and give your login information? what about steam guard?
These are bots you dumb fucks. Of course they don't respond
>>257764457
They ask you to enter the steam guard code for them.
>>257764457
Some people use the same passwords for everything, so they'll try using it to get into your e-mail account.
this usually happens when you go on trading sites like tf2outpost and csgo lounge
>>257763203
I put an unusual hat on the steam marketplace and get 5+ of these everyday
Idiots who fall for this shit is why Valve forced this shitty link filter you can't disable, fucking hell.
>FBSO
Oh man.
>No one is fucking this dude's site up by entering a shit ton of fake usernames and passwords
>>257764123
That's kinda the point of phishing in the first place.

>>257765095
you missed the point
>>257765123
>>257764870
yeah i used to be into trading on TF2 but i cashed out like a year and a half ago, scam attempts were a lot more frequent back then
>>257765000
ha, i was wondering if anyone would recognize the group name
>>257764724
>>257764708
How about you visit the site instead? Typing anything in either box and pressing submit brings up a dialog that asks you to install steam guard on your computer, which shows that:
1. The phisher is so bad at programming he can't create a SQL submission form
2. That you have to be REALLY dumb in order to fall for this.
>>257765810
Well then that's just some lazy Brazilian scammer or some shit.
How retarded do you have to be to fall for something like that?
>>257767193
It'll work on like one or two people, and that is enough for the scammer.

>mfw me and a friend scammed kids in TF2
We had a youtube video with "unlock all weapons for free tutorial" with an external crappy program where they enter their steamusername and password.
Its unbelievable, we had like 8000 accounts at the end of the year 3000 without steamguard 'n shit.
We only took items though. Best thing we got was an unusual hat.
>>257772465
Wow you're super cool

>>257772465
>we had like 8000 accounts at the end of the year 3000
Your a bad scammer
What I don't understand is how people are stupid enough to actually fall for it. You'd have to be literally RETARDED to fall for something like that. Same thing with TF2 scamming (paypal). If you fall for it you genuinely deserve to lose your account/items.
Someone from china tried to log into my old steam account yesterday, which I almost never use, have 0 friends on and only a couple old games like 1.6/CZ

>>257775346
well SFIV is barely even a fighting game so who cares
>>257763203
Had this happen since I haven't traded in a long time. Got suspicious when I loaded up an english steam community and not my magical chinese one that I somehow managed to get when clicking on a link. Plus it asked me to install Steamguard.
>>257775430
>SFIV is barely even a fighting game
Are you retarded?
>>257775346
To be fair, if steam even so much as blips offline then everyone in the game disconnects, and T.Hawk hasn't even won a round yet, so I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and just assume that steam was the thing that fucked up, and Destro didn't ragequit.
>>257773808
heh
>>257775346
welp
im not familiar with fighting games so i didnt pick up that he was a scrub
>>257775540

>>257776867
No, I'm just garbage at fighting games and people in the retard tier ragequit a lot.
They always copypaste the same shit
It's so annoying
And the worst part is, there's people falling for it
>>257764112
Kids. Theres a lot of underage kids from third world countries with Steam accounts and Items.
>>257777051
There are backpack scanners that people pay $30 to use
>>257776957
Yeah, copy-paste Steam website login.
>>257776761
The funny thing is, they probably only implemented that name change information thing after someone got scammed because of it.
>>257776761

>>257777051
If your inventory is set to public then people have developed catalogs and trawlers that search for specific items in peoples inventories.
So if you have a Dragonclaw Hook in DotA or some Unusual Hat in TF2 and your inventory is set to public then you're probably in a few databases somewhere being listed as a scam target.
>>257777235
But I have buds, unusuals, and bills in my inventory. I even had my trade link in my profile for a time. I'm honestly surprised I never got messaged by bots
>>257776761
>>257776761

I had some guy call my house and said that if I hung up, he was going to send the police to my house because he was with the IRS. He also had an extremely heavy chingrish accent.
These scams are getting more and more wild.
>>257776761
>>257777002
I enjoy legit offers though, I traded a couple of the couriers I got for free for a Furion's Vyse.
It will end eventually.Right?
>>257771363

Is there some large scam operation at work here?
>>257776761
>>257777179
>>257777056
Here's something relevant
>>257777215
I'm glad we clear all this up. So is it common in the higher tiers to screenshot a DC because you made them ragequit and feel super cool?
>never get scammers because I always give away my stuff
>that feel when
>>257777051
My friend opened a crate in CS:GO a few days ago and a $100 gun popped out. After about 1 minute his steam was an endless scrolling wall of friend requests popping up, WAY more people than were on the server. He had to sign out to stop it.
>>257777459
Scammers that use threats rarely ever get anything, unless they are very good at it.
Usually a threat makes people slow down and look at the situation more clearly.
>>257777494
I don't do the trading and the most valuable thing I own is a genuine pipboy which I think isn't every valuable, so I wouldn't know. Still, if whatever you got is limited to only that event then its only going to get more and more valuable and scammers will get more and more annoying.

I've always wished for telephon marketers to call me just so i could fuck with them a bit. Sadly it never happened.
>>257774114
I'm the third party person for my friend for his CSGO skin trades. Mainly because I'm more experienced and I know when he's gonna get scammed. So I just pretty much go into Skype call with him, make a giant group chat with people offering to trade for the item, consult with the buyers while I chat to my buddy on Skype.
We've done it like 3 times and the most obvious scams are PayPal payments, but I say to my friend (I know him in real life, I wouldn't fuck him over) ''hey, if you want me to do this trade, just hand the skin over, I'll do the trade, and make sure the cunt gives what he offers'' and he'd just say ''fuck trading, if I sell it on Steam Market, I don't have a chance of being robbed''
and that's how it usually ends up.
does anyone else get regular adds from a bot going on about jesus and how much he loves you
I get this shit monthly
i've never gotten one of these before
how would adding them to friends put your account at risk? is the link something that makes you put in your information too?

I live in a small town. They actually had to run an article in the newspaper recently about a phone scam epidemic. They were targeting old people's houses by calling and saying their grandchildren were being held hostage and if they didn't pay up right now over the phone they were going to kill them. They people they were calling were so old and senile it was working almost everytime.

I was dumb enough to fall for the "Alt+F4 doubles your money" scam. Fortunately, I only lost a tinderbox because I wanted to confirm if I'd get two tinderboxes. I bet the scammer thought I was fucking with him for leaving such a useless item. He wouldn't have gained anything anyways, I had at most 800 coins to my name at the time.
Then there was someone who broke into my account and stole everything they could steal. A few days of running red spider eggs, mining essence, and mining coal eventually got my stuff back though.
