Machelix Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It might just be my heightened suspicion over the years, but recently I was approached by someone asking me to vote on their emblem for a gaming tourney. In you guys' opinions, is this tournament voting legitimate, or is this another scam attempt?

Poisonous Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 That does sound like a scam. There was a method similar where a [insert scammer name] where they would ask you to vote their comp team on a sketchy website. And for that, you needed to connect your account on a fake steam login page that would steal all your info. If I were you, block him and ignore those.

Bananas Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 These scams make sense for dota or cs but idk who’s dumb enough to fall for a tf2 tourney scam what competitive scene bro, the top tournaments are like $20k prizes vs millions for other games, this game doesn’t have a tournament scene big enough to vote on lmao we literally have a bot crisis and the item servers will break for days at a time, this shit is neglected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus_Junior Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yes this is a scam. Besides the fact that it's never legit when someone asks you to vote for them there are a couple things you can do to verify these websites (My screenshots are dutch sorry, but I'm sure you recognize the pages) 1- Clicking login doesn't actually take you to steam, check the URL Alternatively it can also open the login page as a fake popup on the website itself, where they make it seem like the popup has the correct url, steam never does this and it's always fake 2- It DOES take you to steam but you are not already logged in When this happens, open steam in a new tab yourself and log in there. Then try again on the site you're trying to log in to and it should look like this: If it doesn't and still asks for your login info, don't log in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
