i was just victim to a csgo skin hijacking.
lost $100+ worth of skins
am i fucked or is it possible to get them back?
has this happened to anyone here?
>>271096731
>paying money for skins
You deserve this
>>271096871
my initial investment was 30$ on cases and skins and was luck enough to get some items with decent value. from then on i traded, sold and bought skins from the market for profit.
howd it happen?
>>271097215
these skins are what allows me to get games on steam i otherwise would not pay for
How the fuck did you even lose them retard?
>>271096731
what is "skin hijacking"
I've never done a trade on steam before but can you not look at what the other person is offering up and you can only blindly accept hoping that the other person upholds their side of the trade?
>>271097346
i know im a fucking idiot but i get offers for my knife all the time and this really didnt seem unusual to me. whats done is done, now is it possible to get them back?
>>271097785
No, you retard.
>>271097512
someone gained access to my account then traded my ingame skins to his own account
>>271097785
>4you
>>271097785
How the fuck did you even fall for their scams
>>271096731
lol ur retarded OP
>>271097921
Maybe your password shouldnt be so easy to guess dipshit.
>>271097785
How does it feel to know you just got scammed by a 12yr old in India? I hope you don't get your skin back, it's good to learn from your mistakes
>>271097912
being a but pessimistic arnt we?
isnt there something i can do with steam to get them back?
Submit a well articulated Steam Support ticket that makes it clear the trade was not made on your own accord
They MIGHT shine on you
>>271098208
thaks anon, ill write it up now, where exactly do i submit it?
If you report to Valve, they'll shut down the scammer's account
But there's a chance you won't get your shit back
>>271097785
>clicking links from strangers on steam
How the fuck did you even manage to turn on your computer?
>>271097785
Contact Steam support. They constantly replace hijacked items in TF2, from what I've seen.
Next time, tell the other trader to upload the screenshot to imgur.
>>271098197
give me some of your skins
i will track the dna on them to find your other skins and get them back for you
>>271097320
You could save the money you would otherwise spend on this dumb shit, like a fiscally-responsible human.
>>271096731
>he came to 4chan with his problems
POINT AND LAUGH!1!!1!!!
You're fucked anon
play a good game and don't be retarded with skins
>>271098615
i would use the skins and the market to buy other game i normally would buy
>>271098208
1/2 ok guys heres my appeal
hello steam support employee
today i experienced a series of unfortunate events. ill try and keep this concise and to the point. to put it simply, i was subject to a hijacking. the culprit took 18 items from my inventory, including my prize possession Huntsman Knife | Boreal Forest valued at over 100$ which he removed from the market place. He then transferred these 18 items to his own account via trade without my consent.
please observe the image 'hacked'
at approximately 9am this morning i received multiple messages from the user Bingo offering me an in-game item (cs:go knife) along with a link to a supposed screenshot of said knife. naturally i opened the link, i receive many offers regarding my
Huntsman Knife | Boreal Forest. i assumed something was fishy when no screenshot appeared. first thing i did was check my Huntsman listing that i posted last night
observe image 'hacked1'
sure enough it was removed and placed in my inventory. shortly after, the good majority of my items were no longer in my inventory including the Huntsman. At this point i knew i was subject to a hijacking and started to gather as much evidence as possible.
observe images 'hacked 2' and 'hacked 4'
as you can see my items were traded for nothing to the user 'rizzla'. Rizzla is not the user , Bingo, that sent me the original message in 'hacked 1'. however Bingo states that has access to multiple accounts.
Observe images 'hacked3' 'hacked 5' and 'hacked 6'
i monitored rizzlas inventory throughout the day and noticed that he gained quite a bit of items over time. i believe he either has my items listed are on the market, has already sold them or has traded them to another account.
to be clear, i would never put forth such a ridiculous offer nor did i would i give consent to it. and i did not give consent to this trade. a users besides myself accessed my account , without my consent, then proceed to hijack my items.
>>271098995
or you can save money. i mean, you DO have a job, right?
>>271098082
No. The question has been asked multiple times. Every time, Valve does nothing.
>>271099089
this couldnt sound anymore like a fucking lie
dont send it stupid they're gonna ban you for trying to scam steam out of duplicate items
>>271099128
unemployed, clearly beta, teenage who games all day fueled by mt dew
>>271099089
>mfw steam support answer is on the scale of 'deal with it nerd'
>not using steamguard
You did this to yourself OP
>>271099336
cant trade if steam guard is disabled anon
>>271099089
2/2
ideally, id like to have my items returned to my inventory. i would be greatly pleased if they were. i would also understand if it is not possible but would require an explanation as to why not. im both surprised and disappointed that something like this can occur on Steam. here are some questions i have.
is what they did here legal?
can they be brought to justice?
what can i do to prevent this in the future?
is there any kind of reimbursement i can receive for my loss?
do you have any questions for me or require further information?
regardless of the outcome of my items, id like the culprits to be brought to justice. not only for my sake but also for the sake of possible future targets. i would not wish this upon anyone.
what do you think?
>>271099414
>>271097785
Fucking retarded. Steam won't give skins back to you because they don't sympathise with retarded niggers. I have russians add me everyday, you know what I don't do? Click their fucking links retard.
>>271099414
>is what they did here legal?
HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU'RE NOT THIS RETARDED ARE YOU
>>271097785
Wait so just clicking links now can get you scammed?
Shit son
>>271097921
>someone gained access to my account
>not having 2 step verification on every single account you have anywhere involving your money or private files/emails
>>271099651
pro tip: yes
>>271099651
steam makes you confirm if the link is legit and informs you if it isnt an official steam site
you have to sign in with your info on the fake steam website
your antivirus should prevent you from going into the link
if you fall for this you are probably one of the dumbest fuckers on the planet
>>271099414
have you not filed a steam support ticket yet?
cause if you havent i suggest you quit making posts here and get on that asap
thats about all you can do
also that guy was so obviously a scammer i have no idea how you fell for that shit
>>271097785
There's this thing called fucking block people that clearly don't speak English trying to trade CSGO skins with you.
>>271099801
>antivirus
lmao
>>271099801
even then any not-retarded user would have steam guard in place, meaning the hijacker would need access to this retards email account
>>271099089
>>271099414
Are you 12 OP? No wonder you got scammed.
>>271097785
>accepting random friend requests
>>271099861
LOL
>>271098208
Or they might ban him for sharing his password in violation of the terms of service. Or he might already have a ban in the works if the scammer was in a different country.
>>271099089
>>271099414
>Can't even write basic fucking English properly.
Surely you will get the karkland.
>>271096731
>being a blithering fucking retard
Back to steam discussions with you, a place somehow far more retarded than this shithole.
>>271099801
>>271099928
http://youtu.be/YZqOFWsLSEY
>>271099928
Nah these hijacks work a bit differently
There is a file which bypasses steam guard, it exists on your pc and when you try to sign in on the phisher site it tells you to upload it
When you do, steam thinks you're singing in at the hackers pc while obviously you're not
Source: I own one, I'm not the one who took your skins though
>>271099414
>what can i do to prevent this in the future?
Not being a dipshit.
OP here
i simply cannot wait any longer
what if i told you that all of this occurred last month and iv already submitted a steam ticket and i already got my skins back just to get a good reaction out of you pessimist faggots?
OP here
I just got scammed again. Someone said they were from /v/ and wanted to trade my crap items for good ones because they felt bad for me being scammed. Shit.
>>271099928
>any not-retarded user would have steam guard in place
this
Op why don't you have steam guard?
Are you litteraly retarded?
>>271100281
:D
>>271100281
doesn't really change the fact that you're a retard
>>271100281
read: >>271100192
>>271100281
Still wouldn't change you being fucking retard.
>>271100227
just cancel the download retard
>>271100407
>>271100281
>This happened a month ago! Don't you all feel stupid for calling me stupid now?
No, because you're a fucking retard for having it happen at any point in your life. A month ago, an hour ago, it doesn't change that you're a fucking idiot.
>>271100417
i would have to agree with you there, in reality im extremely lucky to have gotten my items back
>>271100281
>entire thread is everyone shitting on you for being a dipshit
>"b-b-b-but this happened a month ago, therefore you've been trolled ;^)
Literally what? I'd understand if anyone had said a 'pessimistic' thing about Steam and their support, but this entire thread was just everyone shitting on you personally. Nothing you've said has changed any of these responses or made them invalid.
>>271099089
>>271099414
When I was 10 years old I wrote better than this.
>>271100281
>just to get a good reaction out of you pessimist faggots?
I would say >>>/global/rules/3
>>271100604
you're still a retard for clicking links from russians who can barely talk english
i hope you're under 16 because then i can slightly understand this stupidity
>>271100604
>>271100407
I'm seriously not understanding what you're supposedly laughing about or how you "trolled" anyone. All you did was get a lot of people to insult you.
>>271100281
There is a way to get them back. Go back in time and tell yourself not to be such a fucking moron.
Then you'd never have to create this shitawful thread.
Wait, what. How did clicking a link get your shit stolen, did it have a virus?
>>271096731
>Oct 1
Why would you post this now?
>>271100407
>:D
Just go back to the steam forums please.
>uhh hey guis i got scammed because im a dumb nigger today
>JK i was a month ago
still doesn't change that ur stupid as fuck
>>271099651
Not only did he click the link
He then proceeded to enter his full steam log in info onto a site that steam had just told him was not official
im just playing guys i didnt mean to troll you
i really did get scammed and i just barely sent in my steam support ticket
>>271100813
maybe he's one of those types who gets off on people insulting him, like the girls in the chinese comics i read
>>271100281
>>271100407
>>271100604
>I trolled all of you by making you totally shit all over me for being a dumbass! HAHA! Got you, suckers. :^) heh.
>>271100879
>this image
>>271100971
Nevermind, OP is just 13
clearly someone thinks its well enough written to give me items back
>I just gave all my skins away for free because I'm a retarded faggot
lol
guys stop bullying me please
>>271099414
>regardless of the outcome of my items, id like the culprits to be brought to justice. not only for my sake but also for the sake of possible future targets. i would not wish this upon anyone.

>censoring the fucking eyes of your profile
>>271096731
That's not even a hijacking you fucking moron, you just gave that shit away, why would you do that?
>>271101402
must remain anon
>>271097785
>>271096731
If this is the first time this has happened to you Steam Support will restore your items for you. One time only deal, though, and it will take at least a month.
>>271101462
it was taken without my consent
>>271101572
read the thread retard
we just got ultra trolled 2 DA MAX
You have to be an underage BR to give a shit about skins and not just sell them to autists as soon as they drop. Skinfags are always shit at the game too, I'd fuck all your holes at CS:GO.
>>271101383
That's basically saying you better have learned your fucking lesson and not fuck up again.
