Plat Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Also bets are ridiculously high every round. I think this is suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebois Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I think if it were not a scam they would ask uncle dane ,lazy purple or other popular tf2 content creators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 most definitely a scammer, as is any other person that adds you and attempts something at all similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebanditruby Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Ok, now this happened to me, but instead of it being some random Joe trader, it was a HIGH TIER TRADER. Linked me a site named something along the lines of tf2(insert something here).net. I immediately noticed the login screen did not take me to steam community.com and politely told them that they were being scammed if they were using the site. They removed me as a friend, cleared the chat logs, so I have no evidence of this ever happening. However the next day I added them back to see if this was all some sort of joke and they acted like a completely different person. This user is still very active, even posting price suggestions almost everyday. I thought that using help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog would display any of them, but they only store 2 weeks worth of messages.

Try using https://steamcommunity.com/my/myactivity Note that the impersonator you were talking to very likely has a different name now. If you find them, learn to use https://rep.tf by copy/pasting Steam profile URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmietek Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 If: prices of the theoretically expensive items are absurdly low on such a site/you can't check profiles of the players/random people invite you there through the steam comments/"ToS" allow withdrawals after achieving a certain level THEN most likely it's a scam/phishing site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroN Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I can sadly confirm that it is a scam, i lost about $60 worth of my inventory and now im being ignored by the one who gave it to me, the chat logs on the site are just random names repeating the same dialog over and over and when i followed the F.A.Q it sent me here as to rub salt into the wound. Do not trust this site or any who promote it, just instantly report them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRain Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 For anyone else having the same question, but from someone else, proposing a different deal (voting for a friend, verifying items, invitations to a group to play, etc.) on a different website link: Yes, it's a scam. If you believe you were a victim of Hijacking/Phishing, I suggest you do the following: Change your password(s), if you used the same password on Steam and anywhere else, you should do the same on these sites. De-authorize any other devices: https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage Revoke any API keys: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariogeek2 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 If a random person adds you and gives you a link to an unfamiliar website, you should automatically assume it's malicious in 99/100 cases. If you look the site up and can't find any references to its existence in any forums (such as reddit, the bp. tf forums or elsewhere) or elsewhere, don't trust it whatsoever!
