♠Derpeh♤ Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 He's an experienced trader, im pretty sure he was aware of the risk. But to be honnest when you do a lot of trades per day this email thing is a pain in the *** An experienced trader falling for a .exe? That isnt even a scam that's like "old school download this virus", which is quite possibly the stupidest thing to ever get hijacked by other than the Nigerian prince email scam since email was invented. Bad luck man, i doubt you can get your stuff back, if it was the one which sends trade offers from your computer steam registers it as a trade from your computer hence 0 chance of restoring, if you didnt have steam email verification i dont think steam cares but it doesnt hurt to try :S I would also full scan your computer in case of a keylogger which would mean you can lose a lot more than just your backpack.

WAAAAHT Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Grab a real Kurt Kobain's Mircophonesrslypleasedon'tdothat Cry, then man up and start again. Its what Alex from Security did, and Pink Taco too I suppose you shouldn't give advice if your ego is high like The Procaves' and think you're plausible for moderator along with Puddingkip, but that's just me.

Secretdrake Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I got phished by steamguard.exe and they took all my items. Worst of all, I didn't have email verification on. What should I do? I feel so lost, and so confused on what I should do. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootaloo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Welp, I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. Sorry for your loss and all, but looks like there's nothing to be done. Take Curly's advice and run with it is all I can suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkC Blue Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Why do people still run .exe files from unknown sources? It's not like even running the file itself requires you to confirm you trust the source, unless, of course, they disabled that window as well.

Rainford Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 They will give you your account back, but since you had email verification turned off they won't restore any of your items for any reason. Sorry bout that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollothelion Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ask Ian_Dukeman how he got his account back without steam support He just went to valve, and was like hi, can you fix this pls. *ba dum tsss* Overall, steam support still helped him, just different way lol. You turned off the email, you are kinda fucked. Still try through support but chances are next to nil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♠Derpeh♤ Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 how he got his account back without steam support Basically what he did was spam tickets for until a dumb employee who didnt get the memo restored his backpack. It can take months because after a ticket has been resolved you get a bot replying back. @op You screwed up by falling for literally the dumbest trick in the book also you turned off email verification knowing full well the consequences, take responsibility and deal with it.
