albert1996100 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Few minutes ago I got a trade offer for few of my CS:GO items,here it what it says: "---Steam Guard--- Hello. The Steam Admins do their yearly check of inventorys. We want to find Bugs with some items and give them back to you, so far they are bugless. If we find a Bug you get of course a replacement of that item and a little compensation of steam wallet. We've picked you randomly. Hope you enjoy your Day.Your Steam Community Admin Team (?) " Of course steam dosen't send trade offers =)) So be aware of this method and don't get scammed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zcrab Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I've not seen it before, but it's not any smarter than any other scam. Why wouldn't not just create their own item to find out if it is glitched? And the worst of all, Steam refunding your items, I mean that's the joke of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleverpun Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Lol. I love how all these scammers think they can impersonate Valve employees with unprofessional, broken English. Surely a huge company would hire terrible translators, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 If you fall from something like this then you deserve to be robbed from. Lol.

Slocumruls Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Dell tech support talks in a very predictable Indian accent that is TRAINED by Americans to speak that way. Valve support employees all write using US dialect and form letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelated Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 That's pretty dumb. Even the "We will send you Steam Wallet funds" one was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Of course steam dosen't send trade offers =)) So be aware of this method and don't get scammed! Late. This has been around for awhile, they just change the meaning every now and then. Sometimes they ask for items with bugs, sometimes they need to find if they were scammed, sometimes for some all kinds of bullshit.

knavesmith Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 What?That is paste )When you right click, you get two options when pasting. One is "Paste" and the other is "Paste as Plain Text." The first option does what is shown. The second option will only be the text and won't have that annoying background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
