Where should I discuss about 3rd party skin sites?

[PikaGUSTA]

I'm having an issue with bounty skins and I wonder where it would be appropriate to discuss this issue.

[XBL Laberbacke]

Nowhere. They are ALL scams.

"But some are legit !" No, they are not.

not on steam as it may make it appear as though those sites are legitimate, causing even more people to fall for their scams.

ask on the sites themselves as they have nothing to do with steam

Definitely not here. I'd avoid those sites in the future if I were you. Even if others insist some are "legitimate," don't risk it again.

[mimizukari]

Valve has publicly taken down and addressed that none of these sites are legitimate. Steam trades should be done entirely on steam, nothing outside of the steam trade window. any promise of anything can't be verified. If you use one of these sites and they made you use g2a pay, DO A CHARGEBACK. G2A never responds to paypal chargebacks and you'll get your money back. Don't deal with these sites again.

Yea, I caught that ... I'll just edit my comment to say "avoid in the future."

[PikaGUSTA]

Yeah kinda too late.
Ill hit back here to see if it's a scam. (And no, I have not used any credit card information on the site, only Steam login however.)

Just take it as a warning for the future. Visiting those types of Web sites is never worth it.

[PikaGUSTA]

Alright. Thanks for the heads up

[PikaGUSTA]

A quick notice, this post does NOT have links for trading. This is just to clarify what I'm going through. All image links are Gyazo images and are safe to click on.

So just to give a description of what is going on to calm down the fears if I'm being scammed; (very short)

Go on Bounty Skins
Entered a promo code which gave 85$ <Thats a lot btw
It says I need a minimum requirement of skin transer of 5 dollars
Each skins are required to be above 1 dollars to sell.
All the skins that were valid for trade ends up at $4.20, just 80 cents apart.

Because I'm not at the minimum level, I can't transfer any skins that I've won from the site.
Here are the items I've got

Here's the items I can't trade
https://gyazo.com/91a4ace016cb031bc7a7c832fc650911

That's all for now. Thoughts?

[XBL Laberbacke]

IT'S STILL A SCAM. They could give you a "promo code" for a million dollars, you will see just as much of that as you will of the 85.

That should have been your first red flag right there. Steam login for a site that has nothing whatsoever to do with Valve or Steam ?

Your Steam login is for Steam, and now, that site has your login information for your account.

Ask yourself why the heck you would need to login into your Steam account while visiting a third party website. It just makes no sense, so you should not ever do that.

I recently changed my password as a precaution and have two step authentication on. Kinda dumb in my part for doing all of this in the first place I will admit after reading the feedback.

Just one final question (Sorry for the nuisance), I've been surfing through the web lately and CSGO lounge caught my attention (Trade with players and betting). Now I'm aware that some critics point out that some are bots or the links being shared are phishing sites. Should I equally stay away from that site or is it the only one that's credible?
