ESL scam method! BE CAREFUL!!!!

[kova]

Somebody will add you and claim, that he is in the final of a tournament (150€ price money / he will split if you win) and ask you for help, because his mate can't play.

If you accept, he will send you a FAKE ESL website, that looks almost like the legit one, besides that the link is different.
He will ask you to create a private match and even a spectator (referee / witness) will join.

You are told to login on the ESL site with your steam account, that's where i got suspicious.
I googled and found the real ESL site, that DOESN'T require you to login with your steam name.


DO NOT FALL FOR IT!

He got as far as removing my phone/authenticator from my steam profile. But he lacked the intelligence to really pull it off.

Funny enough he is pretty good at the game but obviously fails as a human being.

Yo, I wanna thank you for this post. I almost fell for it, but when he sent me a link I looked up ESL RL safe? and this came up first thing, this guy almost had me. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198988394177/

First link is scammers steam page, copy that down for future use or something, and gyazo links are screenshots to the messages he sent, theyre the basis for all of em.
Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH
p.s. "im not new to this" is when I found the scam. He deleted me as soon as I said nah chief

lol this actually became the answer :D then let me be frank

frank: this is not new really, for those that want to send abuse reports, there has been like a similar thread posted mid-end october with same story, glad this got some attention to it tho.

Okay, real talk, ddosing in the us is a 40 yr max sentence, is it really worth it?

Really should not be hard to spot, you don't enter your steam login details anywhere but steam, not not exactly a new method.

You're being ignorant. In the heat of the moment its easy to fall for this, many of my friends have. If your FRIEND messages you asking for help, your barriers fall and you click links that your friends send u usually
