So i got scammed…

[weavilemeinfep]

I know there was probably a dozen or so of these threads, from what i came across,

But i just wanted to throw my time in the ring,

I was playing CS2, and i got a message from a “Valve Employee” saying I'm apparently being investigated for fraud, and they pulled up my Ip and whatnot, so i “thought” that it could be the real deal, and long story short, just read the title,

Now before anyone asks “well, why did you not know that was a scam” i wasn't thinking correctly, i was overwhelmed, i forgot that Valve Employees don't use Steam Chat,

I’m not writing this for the chance of my items getting back to me, if it can, that’ll be great, if not, whatever,

I just want Shelley Sievers, whoever they really are, to be forced to take some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Accountability,

Also i already secured my stuff, so no need to put the steps in the comments.

Not likely. There's a bunch of ways scammers can insulate themselves from consequences. After all they're not using some personal account of their own for scams. Some accounts used in scams are hijacked, so when the original owner gets their account back what should happen to them to make you happy?

This type scamming is really a low risk venture, and the only way you really harm the scammer is not being vulnerable to their scams.

Maybe next time?

Report them and move on. That is all you can do. Also block the person so you cannot interact with them again.

Well, i think it's somewhat understandable,

Most likely that person who scammed you probably used a throwaway account they stole off of someone else. So yea, it is sad, but it is the state of the world is nowadays. Never trust anyone on the internet.

yeah, thats understandable,

if anything, that doubles my distain for scammers, how dare they take things that others have worked for.

if anything, i just feel like this is less of a "please help me with this issue" thing and more so just wanting to get my frustrations out of my system, so thanks,

i'll tell ya, what i wouldn't do to make time travel a reality...

It looks like this is the case. I have a lot of "friend" requests lately. People from all over the world just decided to befriend me. Funny this started when I started posing here on these forums that are not game specific. An enormous coincidence,
