New Scam csgo league cse / gameflip ?

[K1mmi S]

Hi guys, lately i dont know why i'm receiving like 10 friends request per day.
All with the same purpuse, to join a team, they need 1 person,

All the time I say no, cause 99,99% it's a scam, then they send a link for that supposed site and saying to vote and you need to log with steam to vote.

I never log in to that, by experince I know that's a way for scammers to have our steam access and then try to trade something with us.

they also send a gameflip link finishing in .ws unstead of .com

I always say no and try to gsee were they take me, but never open a link or do anything.

And everytime i ask them tricky questions they remove me from friends xD

My question is, are you also receiving that?

the exact process goes as following:

they ask you to join the team, then link you a site.

you click the site, you sign in and they grab your info.

you get redirected to a new site, your account has been stolen and they'll trade your items to their account.

But to trade they dont need Steam Guard confirmation for every trade ? I know that 2/3 months ago, the scam was you to log in to a site that was down, then a ghost trade with a fake friend that you though it was yours, by quickly cancel your 1st trade invite and replace with another one.

when you confirm the steam mobile guard on your account while signing in something happens but i don't know the rest.

This goes 1 of 2 ways.

1. They want you to sign into a sketchy website that grabs your information. Whenever you try to trade, it cancels any incoming/outgoing trade offers and redirects it to a bot, where they steal your items.

2. On the website, it has a virus or a keylogger that steals your account and basically repeats the process of the scam mentioned above, except you probably wouldn't be able to log back into your account.

When you log into the site it asks for Steam guard code too. They get full access then add an API key to your account.

Thanks, i knew the process just didn't know the endpoint, thank you for informing me!

how many accounts these guys have, I've had received yesterday I think, a level 100 steam account friend request, with the same objective, and all the others accounts, were at least > level 10 .

Once they know that you're trolling them or their wasting their time, they remove from friends.

Even got friend request from csgonet fake accounts.

So it means that they can trade all of our items without steam guard app confirmation?

In my opinion it is more simple than that. People just deposit all items. Then they try to convince Valve that it was security issue on Steam side and that they should get items back.

No. But when you start a trade they can cancel it and change the recipient to their account.

I get too many aswell, I don’t bother wasting their time cause my time is even more precious.
Plus there’s just too many of them to handle anyways.

Actually no, they've been "upgrading" the way to scam every year, or every update,

the other years the scam tactic was different, at least the one I saw.

In recently months i started to receive this one, and last week it had increased a lot the number of "bots/people" trying to do that to me.

anyway I don't know if there's already a post about it, I know that i'm not the only one and there is people falling for that, so in certain way i'm "sharing" new/old scam tactics so new people can search for it and be aware.
