VALVe Employee Impersonation

December 22, 2014 - BantsPants | 0 Comments

Not so common, but it's still out there. In this method, people will try to scam items by telling you that they're an employee and that you got reported for duping/scamming/... and that they want to "scan" your items. Valve employees and Steam Community Moderators will NEVER ask or threaten you for your Steam account credentials, CD key, or credit card information. They will also never threaten to punish users for refusing to make trades or to click on links.

Chat conversations will go like this:

Hi sir. I'm a Valve employee and you got reported for duplicating items

In order to make sure that you didn't actually do anything wrong, I'm going to need you to give me "Item here" with the original ID of "01101000 01101001". In our database there are 2 items with this original ID.

Often, the "employee" will have poor spelling.

Third person scam / Chatroom Scam

December 19, 2014 - BantsPants | 0 Comments

A random guy adds you. He makes an offer (CS:GO/TF2 keys for a high-priced item for example) for you via steam chat, usually an overpay. He then says that he doesn't know if he can trust you, so he asks you if you have a trusted friend. Then the guy wants you to tell him the friends name/link to his steam profile. He then adds your friend and asks him some useless questions about trust (and invites your friend to a chatroom with another account).

After that he will ask you if you can trade your expensive item to your friend to see it really is your friend (you trust your friend so it should be no problem). After you've given your item to your friend, the scammer's second account will come into play. Now that your friend probably accepted the chatroom invite, he will change his second account's name similar to yours, usually adding a . (dot) into the end of your name so that there wont be YOURNAME (2) when trading.

And after that, he will send a trade invite to your friend and your friend will probably give the item back to "you" (the scammer's 2nd account with a name similar to yours).
