Introduction

☛ As you may know, receiving items coming from scams or fraud. Such as "Stolen items" or Items that are coming from a hi-jacked account can ruin your reputation and can lead your steam account getting trade ban.

☛Social networks, especially video game communities, are targeted by scammers seeking to trick users out of their money, identity, or virtual property. In this fast-moving digital age, such online criminal activity is flourishing without much visibility to law enforcement or the general public. We believe that reducing online fraud begins by educating users and organizations about these dangers and how to avoid them.

☛You should never trust someone with a private backpack or profile. Scammers often use this to cover their tracks with item history trackers such as backpack.tf in TF2 or csgo.exchange in CS:GO.

☛Always remember that having scammers in your friendslist may still risk your safety since you might get involved to it's crime leaving you unaware like what is the scammer's activity in the community. It's really easy for him to use your profile that your account is his alt or smurf that is why you are in his friendslist.

Due to the fact that the Community is growing rapidly, no one person has the time to seek out troublemakers. When it's brought to a moderator's attention, it can be acted on quickly. Reporting is extremely helpful, and is very much appreciated by all moderators. Thank you!

The Steam Community is a great place to hang out and engage in meaningful conversation. However, in order for it to thrive successfully, we all need to be aware of our surroundings.
