game time Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 idk if I've been scammed but I did this trade (on the site) with this bot called Swappy Bot (https://backpack.tf/u/76561198305492646) for an Unusual Kill-a-watt Hound Dog. Once I did the trade and confirmed it, and in the authenticator it said I was trading 20 keys for the correct unusual, I was not given any item and instead my trade offers had said I trade with this kitsune guy who gave me nothing in return (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198833387555/). I've commented on the owner of the bots profile to ask if this was normal and I just want to know if this guy is a known scammer or something. (https://steamcommunity.com/id/mikelife/ - Owners profile) I'm panicking a little bit rn so I'm pretty impatient and the trade was only done like half an hour ago but I'd appreciate a reply to confirm my suspicions or just to tell me that I'm fine. Thanks Note: Kitsune has changed his name once I added him and I'm sure he will block me soon, I've added him to try and talk with him as well btw.

Scott Bakula Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 More phished than outright scammed. You entered your Steam Login credentials into an illegitimate site and they've stolen your API key, allowing them to create trade offers from your account. Once this happens, they cancel and redirect trades to fence accounts to steal your items. Here's a more detailed explanation, complete with instructions of how to fix it: https://marketplace.tf/blog/posts/YHLZOB Unfortunately though, what's done is done now, and those keys are gone.

Thanks for letting me know You have to remove the api key aswell. changing your password will not stop them creating trades using the API method.
