No. The evidence is the fact that Steam does not allow those links to be posted. Expect your name to get bopped too.

I can't believe people are still using that site. Seriously, do you want your account to get hijacked?

That's the scam site other trading sites warn their users to stay away from. Maybe look up a few forums posts before you give away all your account information.

Also, change your name, stop advertising for scammers.

Legitimate trading that wont get all your items/skins stolen, is only within the Steam Clients trading system or the Steam Community Market. Any site made for skins/trading/gambling etc, is practically made to steal from you anywhere from immediately, to over a long period of time. The chance of your account being hijacked, for them to use your account if not protected by Steam Guard, in games to cheat and get your account VAC/Game bans is also very high.

Remove all API Keys from your account, and change your accounts password. Also ensure you're using Steam Guard.

They're all designed to Steal items right away or over time, as well as hijacking your account either immediately to over time; both are randomly delayed.

You can only guarantee the safety of items/skins, by making legitimate purchases from within the client or the game itself.

Safe places for items/skins:
-Internal trading ( beware, people can still trick you )
-Steam Community Market (In your Client; hover your mouse over "Community", click on "Market")
-Store Page for the game, if applicable, where it says "Items available for this game" (Example: RUST on the Steam Store)
-Purchasing in the games main menu, or anywhere purchases can be made from within the game
-Games that give you skins, randomly, by playing the game

Everything else is a scam or should be treated as such to keep your account safe & secure.

Note: No user, moderator, or admin will need your login, password, for you to "verify" items, or send/trade them anything for any supposed reason. the Community Market, is the best place to get and sell items/skins for games that support it.

Yeah, pretty much. Even the "legit" ones are most likely skimming off the top. Take out a few choice accounts, and there's nothing they can do. The sites are use-at-your-own-risk. Even if the victim goes public with the scam, there will be thousands of other users who say they use it all the time and there's no problem.

If you use these third party sites, it's only a matter of time before you get scammed, and it will be your fault. The only safe thing is to keep your trading activities on Steam through official means, and don't let greed get the best of you.

They run the long con. Have some people that never get hit but then just coincidentally have many other users with a history of using the sites getting phished.
