ksolis01 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Link for those who haven't heard about it yet: https://marketplace.tf/blog/posts/YHLZOB Concerning this method, what do you guys are the best ways to protect yourself from this method and possible future ones? I know guides and other stuff have been written out but methods like this show that scammers are refining their methods. Refined methods that are much more successful at getting people beyond the most gullible. Will be adding ideas from whatever is posted to the list. Ideas for User: constant vigilance Always look up links yourself if something is fishy, check rep tf and their steam profile. Never listen to someone telling you to deposit an item to a trading service, there is no reason to Immediately block flags No hours in game items they want to buy Involves alts Moderate flags low level profile VAC ban Website Suggestions: Marketplace.tf Backpack.tf Similar to marketplace.tf's psa, have a accessible way of telling users of the latest scam methods.

Haxor Gaming Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This website here: steamcomnnunutly is a scam site that works like the phish attempt that Marketplace.tf warned about. It copies the Steam Community site so well, it almost got me to sign in (but I remembered that API keys exist). Some things to keep in mind while looking at a site that looks like the legitimate steam community site is to look at the URL box. If you don't see Valve Corp. [US] in green text, the site is most likely a scam site. The second most obvious factor would be looking at the URL text of the page. If any of the words are mispelled, its a scam website. Websites like these try to catch people on the details, and you need to stay vigilant and pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
