I got a speeding ticket, because i wanted to go home as fast as possible to play cs, ...i blame valve for it !

its more like, im wondering if its possible that valve has bad security inside their ONLINE game and they somehow obtained my info just from me playing cs

you know, similar how to when people played DARK SOULS online, the game had bad network programing, and it easily allowed hackers to obtain peoples info...

Start a support ticket for paypal and change your logins for everything. Never use a predictable password and never use the same one for different things. Check your pc for malware. Never click on links from weirdos. Paypal maybe wants a proof of filling a complaint at your local police to verify you got scammed and not try to scam others with your fraud claims at paypal.

Check your banking account for fishy transactions too.

I dont know the site, but scammers buy keys, skins and online (gaming) currencies too after getting access to an account bc of the obvious reasons (concealment of the money stream). So it could even be in no connection with you playing cs.

Rule 1 in the internet: If you think something could be fishy, it is definitely fishy.

/E: Good luck getting your money back. Sucks to get scammed but happens to all of us one time. (They hacked my account of something like craigslist in my country and tried to scam many people with my personal data as a seller. Since then my pw habits changed a lot.)
