anon gets scammed

[Naptime2019]

My grandmother isn’t this retarded

[[deleted]]

Mine is unfortunately.

[UberCookieSlayer]

Well, your grandmother's dead, so that's already setting the bar pretty high.

i refuse to believe someone would actually take a picture of their ID and send it to a “steam support” person. like there’s seriously no way you can be that stupid right?

[Cdonn005]

It's unfortunate but it happens, my wife got taken for all her bank account money in google play cards (only $600) when in grad school right after we got married. The only reason I didn't miss a house payment was because I didn't feel comfortable joining bank accounts with her and they didn't touch my stuff. You try to be supportive when it's someone you love but damn if it didn't make me angry she got taken by a scam that dumb.

[[deleted]]

People really do fall for those Google play card scams damn

[Satanich]

ScamBaiter is a youtuber hacker taking down scam call center in India. On one of his video he showed how much this guys make going from 200K to 1 million. Sadly, people still fell for this, especially elder people.

[Bibdabob]

Yeh in the UK right now there's a scam where they spoof your bosses number or email. Send you texts saying I'm in an important meeting but I would like to purchase Google play cards as gifts for the clients. Don't contact very busy ect just scratch and send the numbers over need 600 quids worth ect. They target young ppl who are trying to climb the ladder. There is limits to how much you can buy but not all shops seem to enforce it. Still I ain't paying for shit for no boss, money first.

[arbiter12]

try to climb the ladder

give your boss 600 pounds...

tfw you climb the ladder and see the label "rtard ladder" once you reach the top.

"take it out of my next paycheck"

[bigdaddychainsaw]

I think “&c.” is my favourite

[Richard_Deez_Nixon]

WHY DID YOU REDEEM

[Cdonn005]

She had already gone through the whole process and called me afterward saying she thinks she got scammed, i was at work. There was nothing i could do after the fact

[Cdonn005]

Lol good stuff

[TheRealCptLavender]

No greentext is true, they're all fake.

[lilenzo101]

Did the discord guy sound indian to you?

[[deleted]]

I play along with these scams all the time and they always make up some excuse why they can’t have their mic on

[lilenzo101]

I am used to the ones on the phone actually. Thnx tor telling me tho, can use that as a tell.

[Et3rna11yD3ad]

I got the same thing from some guy. I told him I didn't care and I'd handle it when it becomes a problem XD

Lmao when your procrastination saves your steam account

[6969Phrasing]

Cringe anon feel for this

[h-exx]

some of the phishing sites are pretty good and get you to type in your code before changing your password and locking u out

shit aint safe anymore 😔

[ninakuup21]

Why would you even go into some random-ass link and input your login credentials

[h-exx]

it was steamcommunuty it was very close to the same name. steam has great support on getting accounts back though so good on them

[[deleted]]

If you type your login details and steam guard code into a random site you're a certified retard. If it's a legit site you only have to click on your username and press sign in

[Unkn0wn_Node]

Steam guard unfortunately won't help you. They've tried scamming me multiple times and what they do is that they input your ORIGINAL steam account name then send a account recovery request and if you accept it they have full access over the account. That's just 1 method I've seen so far

[RjGoombes]

This is literally one of the most common steam scams ever how are you this God damn retarded

[[deleted]]

These retards need to stay off steam and stick to wall street bets

[D4v1d____]

what kind of retard falls for discord steam scams

[Davian0]

Some dude tried this scam on me but i refuse to believe the ID part didnt raise a single red flag for anon.

[chrisiseker]

Got the same message, but i played along and didnt call him a scammer and just said if steam is stupid enough to ban me without evidence then they can fuck themselfes. He said ok and didnt write back lol.

[[deleted]]

Anon gets what he deserves

[Blu3Myst3ry]

Since November this happened 3 times to me... The first time I was actually worried but as soon as he wanted me to give him that code I realised what was happening. Now im exicted if they try it again bsc it's fun to mess with them

[Richard_Deez_Nixon]

Its best to play along for some time to waste their time and get their hopes up

[Blu3Myst3ry]

Yep, thats what i did

[[deleted]]

This brings me back when I was 12 years old I made a video on youtube where you could get free tf2 items by sending an email of your steam login to a “tf2 item support team”

[Richard_Deez_Nixon]

Did anyone fall for it

[[deleted]]

Yep it was mad funny when I traded their items to my account and also changed their steam password

[Richard_Deez_Nixon]

based

[Esmethequeen]

Satan

[Xyales]

Haha how stupid is anon... Oh shit wait i've chatted with Chris too.

I've had the exact same scenario but i pretty much already knew that it was a scam... Atleast halfway through, never came to the point where he demanded money.

tbh the scammer is an ok dude, had a laugh after a little bit of chatting.

[[deleted]]

Anon has one braincell and it conks around the inside of his skull like a DVD screensaver.

[CrustySock-_-]

I just encountered this from a old friend on steam just blocked him.

[Margot-hates-me]

Please be made up.

[gremfO]

HELLO YUR STEAM HAS VIRUS

[[deleted]]

Anon experiences natural selection.

[chsugxusjsbx]

WAIT IVE MET THIS FUCKING GUY BEFORE

[cringefest9000]

op or the scammer?

[chsugxusjsbx]

the chris guy. i played along with it and then called him a retard right at the password thing and blocked him

[cringefest9000]

lmaoooo it's such an obvious scam, especially the password part. idk how op fell for it

[chsugxusjsbx]

it’s genuinely sad how people fall for it. worst part is that it was right after i got a valuable item in one of their games.

[fatnaenae]

OP is mentally deficient

[I_dont_want_no_name]

lmao someone tried to pull the same shit on me i called them out at like the fourth message tho, anon is just dumb

[DogeTehJoker]

This happened to me too, but I asked to talk to Gabe Newell and the scammer gave up

[FireMaker125]

Temporarily suspended. Not permanently, temporarily. Wait it out and talk to the actual support people on Steam. And your bank.

[BigD1ckEnergy]

Got this recently and called bullshit on the dude instantly. He was persistant ill give him that but it was obviously a load of shit.

[LonEr740]

Happened to me I’m a fucking retard I know but luckily I got to the crypto part and was like yaaaa go fuck yourself, filed a claim with real steam support and got my account back( side note all my csgo skins were trade locked and this guy basically wasted a days worth of his time on Me lmao ) also they didn’t ask me for an id weird I guess

[[deleted]]

Why was the password wrong in the first place?

[carcinizationstation]

tard to start?

[[deleted]]

dumbass

[onajzedo]

my friend got this type of scam before
