So i have a screenshot of a vintage max heads on my steam account,and i got this type of comment twice on the screenshot:

EDIT:DONT CLICK THE LINKS IF YOU SCARED,IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR COMPUTERS AND STUFF,THIS IS JUST WARNING IF YOU SEE THIS KIND OF STUFF POSTED IN YOUR ACCOUNT,JUST IGNORE IT AND DELETE THE COMMENT!Also,i clicked the links,and it's a blank page,so i assume it's safe.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINKS IN THIS POST

The user who posted this had left 2 links at the bottom but I believe they are links to malware, I myself have not clicked them but when i went to metablack20109vr's backpack heres what I found

I find it funny that a user who posts about "NEW SCAM METHOD WATCH OUT" is actually banned from trading with scammers

Bro what are you talking about?im banned for trading with a scammer not for being a scammer,next time read properly,and i said,the links are safe.

Make sure you don't jump into judging people so fast,it makes you look like a fool.

Cheers!

if u just replace the link with it just saying (link) first off we don't know dat the link's are malicious  we assume so seeing u don't have many post's and have a tag. and you might just try spreading it or doing it by accident.. either way just remove em. never post any links which seem out of the ordinary really, you might have clicked you might have gotten said malicious software installed with out you knowing, just *sigh* don't put link's i na post dat are not nesecessary, end of discussion. it might be proof it might be dat, but for us it looks like just phishing links just waiting for another grab

First of all,i said New scam Method,so i copy pasted the whole comment i received and clearly said it might be a new scam,2nd,when i say it's safe,it's because i clicked it and analysed it,it's not a phising link asking you for a pass,it doesnt ask you to download and open something,there is nothing running in the background and not any plugin installed via this,it's literaly a blank page,maybe you don't have enough knowledge about this,but don't jump into conclusions,anyway i prefer to keep it raw,report it to admins or mods,if i was trying to scam on a account made in 2012 and and have around 3000 hours in TF2 and around 1000 in csgo,i will be very stupid specialy ulpoading it on a trading forum,anyway,Have a good day, and stay safe!it's good that you beware like this at least,good for your safety i guess!

First off, if your banned with trading scammers then you obliviously work with them, so that's why it would make sense that you'd wanna spread the links

Secondly the URL to the "links" you have in your screenshots contain an extra / that invalidates the links. since if you hover over the original two in the post (I will not paste them here) they do not contain the / at the end

Those arent even meant to be links, theyre meant to be an "authentication code" or some bs to make it look more legit.

Don't post dodgy links anywhere on these forums. This is clearly a scam method, and by copy pasting those links for people on the forums to click them and claiming they do nothing, you're helping the scammers gain access to more victims.
