Bravo Gay. Ben!
>>739714174Okay, that's a new one for me.Is this because Steam has been basically just a glorified web browser for the longest time now, is it like some sort of attack vector in this situation?
>>739714174Another episode of>my kleptomatic friend would never steal!
>>739714364He was given the community, that user does not own that community so he stole it.
>Hmm, I got banned for scamming people, should I own up to my mistakes and grow as a person?>No, I should pretend to be a victim on 4chan
>>739714415No you don't get it, Steam doesn't display Account alerts this way, it looks way different.
>>739714415wtf does that even mean?
>>739714174>my friend bought a knife from *shady website not associated with steam*>and now his account is fucked>this is steam's fault somehow
>>739714269
>>739714514the only thing you are wrong about is that it's "my friend"
Source: https://x.com/GMBA/status/2059692291028144219
>>739714487The tweet misses the word ban, he was given a community ban that then got turned in to a theft alert locking the account, but because the tweet missing the word when he traded for this knife he was given the entire community of what i assume is CS and that belongs to valve.
>>739714546https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noGWUs8tgxg
>>739714174For anyone somehow confused by this. His "friend" did the steam version of buying stolen credit cards and then getting mad when the police show up.
>>739714487Idk I don't trade skins or play Pokemon cards bullshit
>>739714174>Get a random friend request >BlockCrisis averted boys
>>739714174On the last day before Gabe retires, he should disable every single account that has ever booted up counter strike and delete the marketplace
>>739714174read>>739714367>>739714421>>739714514
>buying digital items>after the knife changedidn't this fuck up a lot of people's inventory worth?
>>739714672this this this
>>739714687that would crash the Chinese economy, 90% of their GDP is invested in counter strike knife skins
>>739714174>>739714745
holy fucking retard>HELLO SIRS THIS IS STEAM SUPPORT GIVE INVENTORY TO THIS ACCOUNT OR WE BAN YOU
>>739714745>yeah we're going to need to investigate your account>please trade us all of your itemsfuckingLMAO
>>739714842HOLY FUCKING KINODo they not teach basic internet safety anymore? Growing up in the late 90's early 2000's they hammered digital stranger danger into our brains.
>>739714859>>739714879Scary thing about that it is it all happened inside Steam process itself, not outside like a standalone web browser or something.
>>739714819that would be so funny
>>739714842>he's brand new to the scene>owns several hundreds of dollars in skins
>>739714745>"Hey man it looks like you bought stolen goods, would you mind if we took a look at them?">"Yeah sure">"Alright cool it'll be a little bit probably">Wtf? How could they do this to me-I mean my friend? I need to make a thread about this injustice on /v/ prontoHonestly you should probably delete your twitter app and maybe even go so far as to kill yourself
I genuinely cannot tell if this is meant to be an actual Valve hate thread with blatant lies in the OP or if this is making fun of threads like that. Bravo OP.
>>739714859>YOU ARE GIVING AWAY ALL YOUR ITEMS>YOU WILL RECEIVE NOTHING>"hmm yes this seems reasonable"reminder that your freedoms and privacy are hacked and slashed to bits because literal mouthbreathing retards like this walk the earthall children should be forced into a digital training of a OSRS trimming armor scenario at the age of 9
>>739714931What a weird post. >happened inside Steam process itselfYeah? Where else would trading your Steam items for a Steam game take place, dummy?The only scary thing is that people can fall for a chat messages that say "hi i am mr gaben plz give me all of your items"
>>739714982bro this is le heckin gaben's fault, le steam bad and monopoly.
It's funny how no one has hacked my Steam account simply because I don't play TF or CS so I have no items.
behead tendiejeets
>>739714982>all children should be forced into a digital training of a OSRS trimming armor scenario at the age of 9Truly one of the coming of age rituals of our time.
>There are people this retarded Does he know how to breathe without assistance?
>>739714982training can't fix stupid
>>739714960Steam has a fucking huge security vulnerability retard, that is worth enough talking about unless you are a giant Valve cocksucking bootlicker.
>>739714982You will receive nothing and you will be happy.>>739715147What is said vulnerability?
>>739715147I'd make a post pretending to be a 4chan moderator and ask for your credit card information but I'm afraid the humor would be lost on the mods.
My 63 years old mom got into the digital age five years ago and she understood me when I taught her about digital safety.
>>739714859Gaben made me click the confirm offer, he's evil and Steam has heckin' huge security issues.
>>739714174>Bought a knifeI'll never understand why people give a shit about that stuff.
https://steamcommunity.com/id/kronic82here's the retardsomeone tell him or the twitternigger to revert his fucking trade, he has 7 days for cs2 items where you can straight up just revert this shit without any issuei do not have a twitter account
>>739715258>What is said vulnerability?IT'S DISPLAYED INSIDE YOUR STEAM DESKTOP APPLICATION, READ RETARD READ>>739715282Faggot
>>739715147>Steam has a fucking huge security vulnerabilityNo it doesn't. The guy fell for a typical social engineering scam.
>>739714745>>739714931retard
>type steam login information into steam-2a8f3c4f.ru>download and run steamreal.jpg.exe>image pops up saying "ur account is suspended lol pls contact steamsupportnofake on telegram">send them your login and 1 bitcoin as requested>account and items stolenRetards on twitter:>Highly sophisticated nation state funded bad actors are taking advantage of undisclosed zero day vulnerabilities in Chromium to hijack people's Steam clients with zero interaction required.
>>739715369So what's the vulnerability? Describe exactly how it's a client vulnerability and not retards being retards, like the retard I'm responding to, retard.
>>739715357It already is too late for this tradenigger kek
>>739714174>Bought a knife>Seller claims it's stolen and their account was hacked>"This buyer hacked me.">Steam bans "hackers" account.Just another day in not buying CS:GO (sorry, sorry: "CS '2'") items. It's nothing but trash.
>>739715461I'm afraid you might not be able to comprehend it at this point. Not like you even care so stfu
>>739715369Yes, the Steam chat and trading systems happen inside the Steam application.Where else would you want them to happen?
>>739714672Basically this. I have no idea why Valve hasn't allowed you to completely turn that off at this point.
I dont understand why people buy these digital items and why they care so much about them. Its seems insane to me. I've been playing games since the NES and have played about 1000 games and I never even considered buying digital items for a character in a game.
>>739715369>Steam trades are.... displayed inside the Steam Application???I do not get what you are trying to say, here.
>>739715495He literally traded it TWO days ago as seen in >>739714982https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/365F-4BEE-2AE2-7BDD>Trade Protection is a feature some games support that allow you to reverse recent trades, designed to help if you lost items after losing control of your account.>When a trade involving items from a game supporting Trade Protection is confirmed, the items are delivered immediately, and you can equip and play with them in-game.>For the next 7 days, the items are considered Trade Protected, and cannot be consumed, modified, or transferred (including being moved to a Storage Unit). Once the 7 day period expires, the Trade Protected status expires, and the trade can no longer be reversed.
>>739714931Thats not scary you fucking retard. You're able to use the Steam client to trade, chat, theres even a VOIP option.
>>739715564bodied that loser, my fellow newfriend :D
>>739714745>sir do one thing please deposit your items to secure box and go buy security steam card $20 from target sir you do not have to ask for friend to help you just do this
>>739715673oh nvm they already got itcool
DO NOT REDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM
I'm convinced that the hackers / account thieves themselves are the ones making these kind of threads here and on the Steam forums themselves.They basically feed people's ego by convincing them that nothing is their fault, Steam's security is worthless and it's the Steam employees themselves the ones who rob accounts and inventory content, to make said people more vulnerable to malware, unwilling to use 2FA and not being careful with their accounts.
>>739714269Yes, you found a new and EPIC funny image to spam threads with, we can see that
steam would be better off if 99% of the people who used steam community features were banned anyway. 100% of the people who use the trading feature should be banned
>HE'S GOING TO WAIT OUT THE REVERSAL BY 1 DAY BECAUSE HE TRADED A GLOVE ONE DAY BEFORE AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO GET BANNED OFF OF CSFLOATHOLY FUCKING NIGGERBALLS
>>739714174>store tab>shows the ban page>"cd-key" instead of product code>>739714745>steam support live-chat looks like some iToddler shit with the default W11 window decorationdiddyblud got a RAT
>>739715121Remember: scamming wouldn't work if people weren't retards. Trimming. D2 drop trading. The fake blizzard gms in WoW and so much more. All worked and continue to work because people are fucking idiots.
>>739714745>NEW COMPLETELY UNAVOIDABLE HACK BWOS>SOME JEET WILL DM YOU AS JOHN VALVE AND ASK FOR ALL YOUR KNIFES TO DO THE NEEDFUL>IF YOU GIVE HIM ALL OF YOUR INVENTORY YOU LOSE IT FOREVERremember when scammers actually had to try
>>739714672I always accept the random friend requests and chuckle at their dimwitted scam attempts
>>739714745So the retard fell for some retarded scam like HOT MILFS IN YOUR AREA!
>>739714174wow I bet nobody involved in this is lying about what really happened
>>739716120>john valveheh momentHEH
How come /v/ defends knife bullshit but hate gacha?Oh, right... Valvejeets...
>>739716196Retard
>>739716196Nobody plays Valve games except slavs. Slavs deserve this treatment.
>>739716196no one here is defending knives, chang
>>739716196Can you sell your gacha skins now?
>>739716196this is your last desperate attempt huh
>>739716196you are new to 4chan.org LMAO
Kinda related.>watching shit on youtube>get a message on steam>some lvl 5 account, no bans, plays CS>"hey can i ask you something?">i say go ahead>asks me if i bought his item>i did not buy anything on community market in a long ass time so i say no>"this is your account right" and shows me his market history>i dont click on the image because i know how this shit works> i have to squint to read shit on it and so the item in question is from Rust>say sure, that LOOKS like my account, but i dont play Rust>not my problem mate, tell him to ask Steam support because he might've got scammed>guy proceeds to try and scam me further>"oh so i contacted them and they told me that you should contact them too">"if you dont they will permanently ban your account!">posts some images of dire warnings of account being banned>proceeds to ask me to add some authorised friend bullshit code so i can get in touch with steam support representative>picrel is my reaction>tell him outright that he fucked up>report his ass (account) for scamYeah, they are fucking retarded. I hope he gets the boot up his ass so far that he can lick polishing paste right off it.
>>739715461>>739715556>>739715619>>739715703the issue is that whatever this exploit does it's able to manipulate user interface directly inside steams processobviously to someone who has been around and used steam, making the distinction that something is wrong is easy but you have to take into the account that most people are drooling retards or just simply not that invested in video games so muchhere's how actual account alerts look on steam, pardon the bugnese, couldnt find a better screenshot
>>739715121>runescape taught me both how economic supply and demand worked as well as finding market niches to corner certain commodities which i literally apply in real life situations>it also taught me how to avoid scams, lures and "too good to be true" situations to the point that people dont even bother trying to swindle me anymore>meanwhile people in op's post literally trade their entire inventory over and go "wtf i got scammed??">>739714982 is right and schools should be mandated to force kids to go through obvious scams and weed out the retards
>>739714546>>>/t/>>>/g/ptg
>>739716143>HOT MILFS IN YOUR AREA!Oh shit, for real? Where?
>>739714174>my friend went to a third party website Not Steam's problem.
Time to become an epicchad instead
it always starts with >my friend did <something to do with jpgs for counterstrike>
>>739714745>they then asked for permission to take all of his stuff and lock it for the investigation
>>739714672>keep getting friend requests at random>"why does this keep happening?">checking my inventory the other day to sell a couple skins for a cheap $3 game I used to have on my iphone (from before they were all microtransaction slop)>the ugly rocket launcher skin I got dropped in TF2 forever ago is now worth $375I also logged into my CSGO account and found the ancient cases I had were all worth $8+ when I got them at like, $0.13.
>>739716367>>i dont click on the image because i know how this shit worksWhat happens if you click the image? Even scammers don't interact with me so I have no idea.
>>739714785Prices went back up.Which makes it even funnier considering how many retards panic sold the bottom and roped thinking its over.
>>739714672I get random requests from people who are very clearly just trying to get to people on my friends list for their inventory items.>>739716720Embedded images on Steam can obfuscate links to sketchy shit, I've had embeds disabled in Steam messages for years.
>>739716376>this guy still doesn't know that you can open non-steam store pages on the steam appIt's not an exploit, it's a feature but of course scammers are going to exploit it and take advantage of dopey dum dums.
>post screenshot on steam>1 comment>"hey i have a question, can you dm me?"should I do it bros? it's just a guy who wants to be my friend right?
>>739716863>should I do it bros? it's just a guy who wants to be my friend right?Nah, just hit him with the old>pm'd you the fix ;)in the comments and move on.
>>739716376It's not manipulating anything. Thats just the steams own browser window displaying some hotsinglesinarea.india.notscam/steamclone/ site.
>>739714745>still talking to him after the bootiful robbari
>>739716376It's not an "exploit", the retard on twitter even states that he had malware on his computer.>signed in on his brothers accountdear fucking lord
>>739716754i think there was rumors some chink trader jumped off a roof over it.
>>739714929>Do they not teach basic internet safety anymore?they complain to the government instead and make it everyones problem
>>739716852>It's not an exploityou sure?now compare that text within tiny red rectangle next to profile avatar on OP and previous picrel, is that also a "non-steam" page part of interface to you?
>download malware>get a message of "hello sar please give items to cloud joogle account">"sir very important you accept trade on your 2FA phone account sir steam cannot of doings that"
>>739715673>>739715754QRD?I get they bought off a third party site don't really get the rest
>>739717026That page has probably been reported before.It's the same thing as when you try to open some website on your normal browser and it starts complaining that it's unsafe.
>>739717003There were multiple and not just chinks. Some teenager killed himself because he thought he lost 10k or smthing lol
>>739716992who the fuck even gets malware anymore?
>>739716992... his poor brother
>>739717152I'm talking about actual steam UI not the fucking pop up windows when you click on a link or something within steam, start reading with comprehension man
>>739717191Everyone who doesn't make their own hardware.
>>739714174He bought a cs cosmetic from a 3rd party website. That's just asking for computer superaids. Nothing can protect an application from that kind of user
>>739717191>who the fuck even gets malware anymore?Win 7/10 baby ducks and technologically inept
>>739717227Yes the tiny red "security alert" thing at the corner.That was what I was talking about.>steam detects you going on a page that was reported as being unsafe>it shows that warning
maybe don't buy dogshit overpriced cosmetics that have no real value outside or chinese market manipulation
It's not a browser exploit or anything, it's just shitware malware that fucks with the steam interface a bit and lets a vibecoded "steam support" popup fly out:https://old.reddit.com/r/cs2/comments/1t6n3d4/did_i_just_get_robbed_by_steam_for_my_skins/the malware alone can't steal your items because you need to 2FA confirm your trades on steam so they have to put on this show and tell to trick literal retards
>>739716992>we cleaned his PC good>We dont know where what or howSo these dumbfucks didnt even reinstall OS? Jesus christ these people shouldn't be allowed online.They should be working the land
>>739717290That makes no sense. You dont download anything from the websites when buying skins or cd keys or anything.
>>739716121But what if someone really reported you by mistake because someone used your avatar to do a suspicious trade?
>>739714745>some retard falls for the "Hello I am from steam support pls gib all your items while I investigate" scamthis is nothing new
>>739714174idgi
>>739717332there is no "security alerts" on steam, only account alertsand it has nothing to do with "leaving steam" webpagetheire function and purpose is wildly different from what you are describing rnare you just pulling this shit out of your ass to sound smart or something?
electron, everyonealso daily reminder: fuck steam
>>739714174Have jeets started to scam on steam or is it still just slavs and chinks?
>>739717670>guy buys stolen skin from 3rd party site>steam flags his account because the original items owner reported the theft>thief (or second thief) contacts the buyer pretending to be steam support and tells him to hand over all his items>guy does it
>>739716287>he doesnt know
>>739714672For some reason I only get random friend requests on Discord, not Steam. Bitch how the fuck did you find me I use it to lurk servers and speak to my one friend with it and it's been forever since I touched a multiplayer game how the hell did you find my sorry ass to friend me while pretending to be a women on your Discord profile
>>739714745>>739714174i genuinely don't even need to read through all of this to know Valve isn't in the wrong here.One day, I realized I scratched my Valve Index lenses with my glasses. I sent them a customer support message telling them about it and how i was willing to pay for the lens replacement. Guess what Valve did? Sent me a brand new Valve Index kit for FREE and just asked i return the broken one back. Anyone that gets targeted by Valve for whatever reason is in the wrong and they're probably a piece of shit.
>>739714745ACTIVATE PROTOCOL INV-7620
>>739714269>no undertalelollmao
>>739716380and they said playing vidya while all the other kids were out in the sun was a waste of time
>>739717894wrong
>>739714174>I bought a knife from GamblingAndTrading.ru and I got scammedYou know where this wouldn't happen? Legitimate trades using the steam client.
>>739714174I only spend money on gacha jpgs. How does this effect me personally?
>>739715436> with zero interaction required.i shouldn't be laughing so hard while i'm sick, fuck
>>739718261How do you think this scam happened?
>>739714269There is no way you arent the most butthurt tendie on this board.
>>739714174I like that this is a problem that doesn't affect non-retards so it's actually a positive thing.
>>739718328>open steam client>go to market tab>buy / sellworks on my machine, maybe don't be retarded
>centered taskbar>profound mental retardation#wow #woah
>>739718423Are you telling me that you can upload viruses into steam market place?
>>739716196I don't. CSGO and TF2 crates are just as predatory is not moreso. The reason you might not see as much blowback is because it's been like that way longer then loot boxes were mainstream.
>>739718486No I'm telling you I can use the steam market and make money there and sell and buy skins without getting malware and being scammed like a literal retard.
>>739716863>it's just a guy who wants to be my friend right?lets be real, dude..
>>739716397>Where?In your area
>>739718547How do you get scammed on trade websites?You just find a person and send them your offer. Or let them send you an offer.
>>739716376The retard downloaded some kind of trojan packed in with a program that the scammer skin trading site told him to download so he could get a too-good-to-be-true deal on a knife skin that they wanted him to think he could flip for a huge profit somewhere else.He downloaded and installed it. It hooked into the Steam client and made the browser automatically navigate to a look-alike page to direct him to a chat page with fake Steam Support. Then they fed him a bunch of bullshit excuses to get him to give them access to all his Steam items.It wasn't Steam that got compromised, it was that guy's own fucking computer.
>>739717378>Did you trade your items with that alleged support account?>no i didnt trade my skins to that account plus it was in a cloud storageWhat the fuck
>>739714929zoomies don't even know how to use file folder systems bro
>>739715564seriously, it's so annoying
>>739718868I offload my cyber investments into a crypto reinforced cloud vault database in case of a zero day ring0 pipeline backdoor breach in my gaming engine
>>739714174Cool. Did you know it only costs $30 get someone community banned on steam? You just pay internet criminals to use aged accounts to mass report whoever you want and after 20 reports it auto bans them for a month as a first offense. You can just keep doing this till they are perm muted.
>>739717894How do you steal a skin?
>>739719040Wrong
>>739719040Cool, did you know my steam account is almost 20 years old and I never in my life used community features?
>>739719067Have you ever played Kenshi?
>>739714174Had a guy actually bypass 2FA on my steam account, changed every single thing on my profile and blocked every friend to make it seem like Steam support was suspeding my account or something of the sortGot myself an email exclusively for Steam after that, if that shit gets breached then at least i'll know cybersecurity really is bullshit
>>739718812I couldn't tell you because I'm white with a normal IQ
>>739714174JUST DELETE THE APP AND PIRATE EVERYTHINGGRAB A PC THROW WHATEVER THE OLDEST OS IS ON ITAND DONT LOOK BACK LOLILL BE DOWNGRADING TO WINDOWS XP/7I THINKLINUX MAYBE BUT I WONT TOUCH ANYTHING NEW LOLWHO THE FUCK WOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM A SINGLE CORP LOLTHEYRE ALL CHILD RAPING NIGGERS IMO
>>739714269but that's missing tendies
>739719218dumb bot
>>739719040That's cool but i doubt that would actually hold up against a single support ticket.
>>739714174Is this about getting chats from strangers and steam goes like: "holy shit wtf, is this please do not open chat to these fucks".
I actually remember back when I used to trade in TF2 in the early 2010's I use to get bots friend requesting me and they would say shit like>Oh hey anon, umm steam is lagging please go to sterm.org to trade with me, thanks for listening sarI use to wonder what dumbasses were falling for this because it was that fucking easy to spot
>>739716863Assburger masterrace would never even consider potentially befriending some random on Steam.Step it up.
>>739714745lol fucking retard and retarded op
>>739716650>ancient cases I had were all worth $8+ when I got them at like, $0.13thats why i privated my inventory. stopped all third worlder requests
>>739715383Not him but steam allowed literal malware on their storefronts a handful of times and lets not forget their dreaded workshop mods>see helms deep l4d2 mod
>>739719274Steam support is staffed by Karens who go "I'm really sad and sorry but you're still banned" and then close the ticket.
Man. Fuck this whole skin "market" bullshit, but at least valve has the lucidity to have a grace period you can just undo a trade in case you get scammed.
>>739716376steam UI doesnt look like thisits not hard to draw over a targeted program to make it look like the program itself got hijackedfaggot got a RAT
>>739714947Dead internet theory is worse than I thought.
>>739715147>get email from person claiming to be John Valve>give John Valve all of my money>it was not John ValveI don't think that's a "security vulnerability" I think that's just being a retard.
>>739719547>steam UI doesnt look like thismaybe it didn't in the past but now it does, this is recent
>>739716863He wants to ask for the shit that's been sitting in your inventory for yearsAlso he wants you to add him first so you feel bad about saying no
>>739716376>bro this is some master level hackingNo. Any service that doubles as a web browser has scammers that simply give you a link to their own spoofed service so you enter in your personal info.
>>739714174classic tech illiteracy strikes again
>>739714745>this nigger unironically fell for "we need to visually investigate your digital items and check for theft, like they were gonna dust it for finger prints or something"
>>739714364
some scammers been trying to steal my precious dota hats for YEARS.They'll make new account with same name and profile pic as one of my friends, message "hey its your friend, we're playing dota and we need you to sign into this totally legit site to play. itll be fun!"First time i was excited because i hadn't talked to that friend in a while but i saw the link and immediately knew what was up.Your bullshit detector has to be malfunctioning to fall for this stuff, everyone can have a bad day/time and get clapped but any platform has that issue.
>>739717936Valve is like a box of those Harry Potter every flavor jellybeans. One day you get Mary who blacklists you from the entire store forever because your 19 year old women are too sexy, the other day you get James who spends his evening flipping through your post history so he can decide that you did not, in fact, deserve a 3 month long ban, so he lifts it.
Looks like someone did the needful.
>>739714174opyou deserve this for being this absolutely fucking stupid
>Long since stopped playing TF2>Keep getting Friend Requests from time to time>Changed profile to say: All and all friend requests due to trading interests will be blocked>People still send me friend requestsPeople are fucking retards as they do not read the profile.
Just got this, what do?
>>739720017browns cannot read
>>739720017Those are bots, they have been doing this since the 2010'sWant my advice? private your inventory or profile
>>739720096holy fuck, hes not playing around. better do what he says.Of course i could circumvent his hacking protocols quite easily...but it would cost ya
>>739719974>she's 19is this stated in the game?>it has been stated or implied that she's in highschoolwhat is it then? "Stated" means it's an actual verifiable fact, "implied" means that it's vague.
>>739719932Same thing happened to me twice.I haven't played Dota in a very long time and the scam attempts stopped.I thought Gayben somehow got it under control eventually, but I guess the scammers just go after people that actively play.
>>739720096If you send me a 50 dollar google play card I can trace back his hacking stream and reverse the pegasus virus with my AI palantir software. You gotta act quick tho, the data trail might already be fading.

Now they're good friends and play together.

CSFloat is a third party CS trade market site, i.e. an obvious phishing site. This user gave up his account details to a Javascript keylogger that saved his log-in details and credit/debit card info as he typed it, and then used it to hijack his account. Happens all the time because of the speculative market revolving around stupid, tacky digital skins in old FPS games.

>>739714745This seems like a good opportunity to remind all Anons here that Social Engineering is the absolute EASIEST way to get information out of you and get you to do things you wouldn't normally do.By creating a sense of urgency, or using your doubt or goodwill against you, scammers don't need to use a password at all to get into your account if (You) are the one that gives them what they want willingly.An important thing to do when someone is trying to get you to say or do something is to ask questions.>Who is this person?>What do they want?>Why do they want it?>Why are they trying so hard to get it?Once you start asking these questions, scammers tend to fall apart and rely more on urgency and getting you to do things now. Once you figure out who they are and what they want, best thing to do is cut off contact and report them.Keep yourself safe and don't let scammers convince you you owe them something. This has been your public service announcement.

>>739714745/v/ mocks this, yet gets performatively angry about Indian scammers.
>>739726397Most scams work by playing both the bad guy and good guy at the same time.No government agency or major brand is going to contact you and let you clear your name before they take official action against you. You'll get notified that the consequences are coming, because most of the process happened before you knew it. Then you'll get the chance to appeal it. They don't give anyone the benefit of the doubt. It's too resource intensive to do that for everyone who gets accused of breaking the rules.But scammers? They want to ride on the false intuition that Google or Steam or the Government will try to square things up with you, and resolve the issue before they escalate. Like a reasonable individual would. Maybe that's paying an alleged outstanding tax bill from "the IRS" in the form of prepaid Visa gift cards for some reason, even though that's the most convoluted way of transmitting money, and 3%+ of your money goes to Visa and the retailer you bought the cards from. Maybe it's being traded all of your Steam items all at once even though Valve can just pull up your Steam inventory and see every account you've ever traded with without you even knowing.Both exploit the suspension (and often the complete absence) of common sense. There's just enough theater to seem legitimate, and any doubts you may have are suppressed by the combination of serious threats and the promise of a relatively easy way to avoid those consequences.In this case, the guy got a little popup in his Steam client, and most of his tabs on Steam were overridden with a warning. Most people's instinct is "Oh shit, that's something only Valve could do!" They're primed to think it's real. That's the theater. Then he gets told "We're going to nuke your account and hundreds of dollars worth of items." That's the serious threat. "But you can avoid that if you just let us take a look at everything." That's the easy out.

Took a bit to parse all this and work out what happened. It looks like some kind of hybrid scam. Sucker buying premium skins gets a fake message from an admin copycat about "You have been banned", which is really a spear phishing attempt, nearly certainly a confederate of the seller. They may have actually been legit banned by an: account hijack into spam; community bannu. Because the Steam Client is a browser, and there are all kinds of BS exploits that come with that, they fall right into the trap. The fake admin asks them to "lock" thier items, which is really going to give them away to the scammer. Serious computer users have been sounding alarm bells over this kind of shit since about IE4 days. When everything is a browser, users learn to trust what they see, you should expect security to fall straight the fuck apart. Theres not been a single week gone by since 2004 where nobody has found a new vulnerability in the web. t. retired IT workeralso, because they did this after the formal sale/trade of a discrete item with an assignable monetary value, whoever did this just committed enough serious felonies to go to jail for life, even if everything they took was worth only a fraction of a cent. Its rules of escheat, same criminal class as title fraud or grand theft.

>>739727602>performatively angryget hit by a train, jeet
>>739735553Answer the question.
>>739716058at least old runescape they were dumb because they were literal children
>>739735549AHH my red texted bonk got lost
my best friend actually did fall for one of these trade scams a few months ago and lost a few hundred dollars worth of TF2 items (which he owned because he was addicted to gambling)I'm still kinda pissed off about it, especially since it was that scam where the guy mimics his friend's account (IE: mine) to convince him to trade his stuff to that friend I just don't even know what he was thinking. Wish I'd been home at the time to tell him not to do that shitAt least he's given up gambling in TF2.
>>739735642HOW WAS HE BANNED AFTER GIVING SOMEONE ELSE THE CREDENTIALS WHO WILL TOTALLY NOT ABUSE IT?!!? NO, I'LL JUST KEEP ASKING UNTIL I GET THE ANSWER THAT MAKES ONLY ME HAPPY!!That's you.
>>739720096Whenever I get these I usually get the urge to reply something like>go ahead, release itor something witty, but I know replying will probably mark my email in the scammer's system as targetable or some shit like that.
>>739731723That's a walking stick anon
>>739735707>AFTER GIVING SOMEONE ELSE THE CREDENTIALSWhen did he do that? I'm looking at the two images and I don't see any point where he gave his password or username to anyone.
>>739716650I have some tf2 items that are worth something but I honestly no idea how to safely turn them into cash.years ago there were trading sites offering middlemen. I always wondered if those were legit
>We will eventually reach a point where scammers can input enough information about you into some corporate LLM to mimic you in audio and video form to where only your most skeptical friends and relatives will be able to see through it.It's going to get even worse.

>>739736058They promised me they would return my items afterwards
>>739736094Oh...Do you have anything left? Will you let me borrow your stuff for a couple days? I promise I'll return it. Really.
>>739735847just use the money to buy games on steam that way you are making money because you arent spending real money
I can't tell if /v/-tards are actually this dumb or if that anon ITT is trolling
>>739735087You're a fucking idiot but that's ok, this is just proof you're like every other normalfaggot.His PC has been compromised. He downloaded a virus or something suspicious, and from that he's now the indians are using the malware on his PC to convince him of things happening with his steam account so he'll authorize trades.If you've never seen teamviewer or similar scams with banks where indians manipulate websites to show fake pages then i'd check out Kitboga. This is all within the realm of reality and just requires the user to be a drooling retard (like you) and fall for the most basic editing. The writing from the "staff" and the page should be a dead fucking giveaway it practically smells like curry
i genuinely stopped using steam because their ass retarded staff do zero to stop bad actors messing with the site and other users
anyway I made like a hundred bucks selling some souvenirs I got from watching old tournaments pretty cool
>>739714745Hello saar... this is John, Steam Support.Sir your account involved in stolen knife case. We need to investigate.Do one thing, send all inventory items to this safe holding account right now. Otherwise we have to ban permanently in few hours only.Trade link saar? Send fast. Thank you sir.
>>739735872It's useless for steam and but dangerous IRL.You should probably google about IRL scams in Russia. People (they have offices in Ukr*ine) are literally scamming families out of their homes, then repost their reaction of social media for keks. They're also hiring people on social media with this "scamming is based and for chuds" vibe.

>>739736125I had exactly 0 dollars left. Now I got 93 in credit card debt, when the bank calls I say I can't pay it back yet

>>739714174>play on jeet platform>surprised there are scammer jeets everywherelol
>>739714929>Do they not teach basic internet safety anymore?Kids are on the internet before they reach school. Parents are worthless.
>>739716121I used to enjoy those but in the last year or so they've changed their strategy or something. When I add them they never say anything now so it's just a waste of time.I imagine it's somewhat automated because I've caught some of them right in the moment they add me, they're in the middle of tf2 or cs but never reply in over a day anyways. I just don't bother anymore.
>>739736572>Parents are worthless.Internet, video games and social media did this chud!
>>739717649It doesn't affect you sir.
>>739724798yeah, traded most of my shiny pokemon that I had personally hatched (took me like one afternoon but whatever) to a guy that I did not know for some shitty WiiU game codeyeah I was retarded but I learned my lesson
>>739714364He probably used his steam id to log into a scam site and didn't use 2FA because he's an underage retard and it's mildly inconvenient
>>739724798I did in Habbo almost 20 years ago, from someone I thought was a friend.In retrospect though, I'm glad because it was a low stakes lesson and never fell for one again.
>>739714929I've had to hammer the most basic security shit into 3 coworkers, and each one STILL fell for the most obvious scams by doing exactly what I told them NOT to do. You can't teach retards.
>>739735872I would see my dad fall for shit like this. I tried warning him about accepting random people's facebook friend requests but he does not give a shit and keeps on doing it
>>7397362372 more weeks putinbros, we'll win any moment now
>>739714745Retards like this is why I have to suffer the trade verification in the first place. Fuck I hate all you fucking idiots who make my life harder by falling for dumb nigerian prince-tier indian scams that anyone with half a braincell can see from an AU away
I just cant give a fuck about retards who pay hundreds, or thousands for fucking skins. Especially doing it in grey markets. This is like crime in the hood. Who cares, its scum v scum.
>>739714745The language is highly suspicious from the start.>"I will begin explaining...">"this information is critical for you to understand...">"I will outline the necessary steps you need to take to resolve this matter...">"your cooperation at this stage is crucial to avoid further sanctions..."It blatantly reads like "please do the needful". I can understand falling for this in spoken conversation, but if you're doing this in text form you should be able to stop for a minute and think about what's going on.Also, it seems he got into this situation by doing things outside steam. You get yourself into this shit, you deal with it.
>>739714672I always accept them and message them a ? just to see what scam they're going to attempt, but it usually isn't very interesting. I have another friend who will just go whole hog with fucking with them, pretending to overenthusiasticly go along with it. like when it's the "we need you to vote for our team on shadysite.com" he'll just be like "oh yeah no problem man, I'm a big fan of (scammer's team) so I would do anything to help out my favorite team!" and just keep fucking with them, but I don't have the patience for that
>>739737008Funny story our government pushed "secure social app spyware malware MAX" (by trying to block and ban all others and force people to use them under fear of getting fired or excluded from schools/unis) as something safe because it has no Ukr*inians and "western propagandists". This shit had ten times more scams than all other social apps together.
>>73972185330% of Americans are illiterate.And they represent the wests brightest
>>739735427Just one possibility right off the top of my head>dude went to a fishy market site>got some malware on his desktop that was designed to imitate the Steam client and display a ban message with instructions to click some link to contact "steam support">dumb nigger fell for itI mean the fact that the dude said that Valve "asked for his permission to transfer his items" is just proof alone that it was a scam. Valve doesn't need your permission to do shit when it comes to locking Steam inventory items. You don't own that shit, they do. They don't need your permission to lock you out of trading items if they think you're involved in item scamming. They also sure as shit wouldn't ask you to transfer those items to another account for safekeeping or whatever.
>>739737419I sometimes amuse them like that, like pretend I logged in to their website through steam and then go offline, simulate having my account stolen and come back up after a while (after they blocked me).some other time I just tell them not to bother because I know what they are doing
>>739735087>seems legit to methis is what a real alert looks like
>>739714174The hacking situation all over the world is out of control, I have been in a data leak around 8 times in the last year.

>>739723706>it almost makes you want to give up playing fair and resort to the same crap as the jeet scammers.this is the thing that kills me the most; I don't want to do that kind of thing to people, but some people are so completely retarded that there is no helping them, and some of these scammers can get fucking rich duping these absolute retards who inexplicably have moneyMy morality wins over my desire, but saying it's a constant battle to not take advantage of the stupid is an understatement
>>739723327Rofl
>>739738083yeah.some days i wonder if the jews are right, that some people really are just cattle and good for nothing more than robbing in broad daylight.
>>739714745This retard really thinks Valve themselves would contact him ever
>redeem the steam>do the needful>virtual weapons stolenHow is this fair bros?
>>739727607>No government agency or major brand is going to contact you and let you clear your name before they take official action against youThis is something that idiots and boomers have the hardest time understandingIf a company is wanting to charge you for some kind of breach of contract or breaking terms of use, then they aren't going to give you an "out" by warning you and giving you a chance to fix the problem, they are just going to put everything in motion and have the legal system chase the money out of you, because it's easier for themIt's worrying how often I need to tell people that if a deal looks too good to be true, then it most likely isn't true
>>739724798some literal mouthbreather gave me an unusual on a surf hat in exchange for like two weapons and then i (being the huge babby) tried to sell it for a gazillion dollars and got jinxed by some nigger faking paypal pages3 years later I finally found the fuckers real life socials only to find out he was a brazilian and died like 9 months after he scammed mehope that smoking veil looks sick in your grave
>>739717115he got added and contacted by "SteemSooport" and got scammed cause hes a retard
>>739714745Hey, that's not the wallet inspector.
>>739735836>When did he do that? I'm looking at the two images and I don't see any point where he gave his password or username to anyone.Gee, maybe that's what the guy you were replying to meant when he said:>CLEARLY THE FULL STORY ISN'T PROVIDED.in his original post. The one you replied to. You did *READ* the post you replied to, right?
>>739723706>>739738083some people happen to be cursed with being gullible and being very bad with technology. but I believe they have other qualities that I may not have and I would hate it if they would take advantage of me the same way I could on the internetunironically thank you Jesus for making me think like this
>>739714929>? Growing up in the late 90's early 2000's they hammered digital stranger danger into our brains.I still assume everyone online is a paedo ready to murder/rape me if I give out any details.
>>739738420i refuse to believe in a god that makes people so fucking retarded that they fall for the same jeet scam multiple times.if we are made in his image then god's throne is surrounded by a lake - an ocean - of mouth drool.

>>739735087Some guy I haven't talked to for years ond Discord got hacked and said he reported my Steam account and I needed to enter a call with him and some Steam employee or I would lose my account.

>>739738374Oh IC so the OP's pic was just some malware add on that popped up on the steam client.

>>739739170Yeah, some porno renpy games have malware in them
>>739714269There is no such thing as a "steam fanbase".
>>739714745>Yes sirThat alone indicates it's some jeet scammer. Valve folx wouldn't assume the gender of their customers.
Imagine infecting someone's computer with malware that allows you to just display whatever the fuck you want on his computer, and all you try to do is steal his TF2 hats, sheesh.

Hello this is steam moderater, can you please login on this webzone with your account name and password to cornfirm your security, otherise we will be forced to ban you. Thank for your help.
>>739739979Thanks.Yes.
>>739715258>What is said vulnerability?The same vulnerability every program has: the retard using it.This shit is why cyber security is both at it's best and worst right now. Cyber security technology is probably at it's best and it's legitimately difficult for a lot of hackers and bad actors to just break through your security if you use anything even remotely decent.The biggest downside is hackers pretty much never have to bother with any of that shit when people like OP exist and will literally hand them backdoor access so you don't ever have to bother with any of that security.>t. work cyber security in my company and almost every time leaks or security vulnerabilities happen it's because of retards falling for obvious scams and phishing links
>>739740139you'd think that after the 50th 2FA layer, 300th "you might be getting scammed" guardrail, and 500th "are you sure you want to do this?" confirmation, companies would realize that some people just want to get scammed.
>>739740139Happens in non-cyber security too really.>Work at company>Company has heavy security>Front door has armed guards watching the door 24/7, no one gets in or out that way without them seeing>Non-front doors are heavily locked, only a valid up to date security card lets you get in or out>Somehow we routinely get people sneaking in and robbing shit from the place>Security is baffled how this happened, they aren't breaking in, there's no broken card readers, no suspicious card scans, no one sneaking shit out through the front door>Finally it turns out retarded interns were wedging shit in the side doors to kepe them open during smoke breaks and kept forgetting to take them out when they went back in>They have keycards, but didn't want to spend the 5 seconds it would take to scan it to get in>So people were just walking in the propped open doors and bypassed all the security.
>>739714174>Cooperating with a thief is an accessory crime.Shocking.
>>739721853Elevated melanin levels.
>>739714842well, there's the answer
One time in tf2 someone with a cyrillic name told me he was a valve admin and sent me a link to verify my account. I called him a slavshit nigger and ended the chat. How are people stupid enough to fall for this?
>>739714174>>739714745>When he reached out to support>shows steam friend PMsThis implies that the guy went and sent a friend request to some random nigga named steam supportHe literally walked into the trap
so it's basically the nigerian prince scam, but in steam?
>>739738998>yahweh getting scammed out of 5000 saved souls by ganeshaso that's why there are so many indians
>>739740286I keep trying to convince them to airgap our systems so fish the only calls and emails we get are from internal sources to help with that, but doing that would cost money so it will never happen.
>>739721853>How do people get fucking scammed like this?
be honest anons have you ever fallen for a scam this stupid before, maybe in the old days like runescapealternatively, are you thankful youre not as fucking retarded as these people are?

>>739731759steam is a web browser, they probably ran one of those scam sites that get you to hit WIN + R + Enter quickly in order to get you to run whatever they want.You could paste in something likesteam://openurl/https://scamwebsiteurlgoeshereand it would open it in your steam browser and make it seem legit because it gets embedded.

>>739741098Then that is a failure of education system of United States if they are unable to offer proper education to them.But maybe its just an economic factor and USA being too poor to develop a working education system. I keep hearing from many Americans that they don't have money for many things that most 1st world countries do.My bad in that case, the country must have more important things to spend money on.
>>739741252what part of you is white again? aside from the bottom of your feet
>>739740646No, and I thank God every day that my parents raised me better than that. Managed to turn back an attempted scam back in runescape once though. >Tries the ctrl+F4 item doubling scam, where dropping your items and hitting ctrl+F4 is supposed to double whatever you dropped>I pretend it worked, show him my gold as proof>grab a rare item i happened to have 2 copies of and pretend i doubled it>scammer think he stumbled onto a legitimate exploit>immediately drops his entire inventory and logs out>I grab all of his shit and book it
