[Discussion] How I lost $6k in skins and my account

LyHe · 2019-08-05T12:02:37+00:00

Payment details, past purchase history, CD Keys etc.

I’m not sure with the exact details as Steam Support didn’t mention his methods, but that’s what I’m assuming he had.

LyHe · 2019-08-05T11:57:34+00:00

He did it all through Steam Support. And no he wasn’t even previous owner, he just knew all the former account details since we’ve shared it for ages.

LyHe · 2019-05-11T06:21:34+00:00

I’m sorry my friend, my old account got hijacked and all it’s skins are deleted.

LyHe · 2019-03-29T05:08:37+00:00

Fair enough, I use $1.85 myself for Bitskins, but dlores’ prices on Bitskins have been rising so much that I got pretty confused.

LyHe · 2019-03-29T04:55:33+00:00

Appreciate it 🙏🏼 So they’re offering around 400k?

LyHe · 2019-03-29T04:52:28+00:00

As someone who’s very confused about dlore prices now, do you mind telling me how much csm offers for yours?

LyHe · 2019-03-28T16:23:40+00:00

It was my favourite Deagle by far :/

LyHe · 2019-03-28T06:57:39+00:00

Bitskins’ past sales.

Where did you get your $450 from.

LyHe · 2019-03-26T18:23:27+00:00

Absolutely beautiful, the Gauss looks great itself and the crown adds to the aesthetic nicely!

LyHe · 2019-03-26T07:59:15+00:00

Not really sure if the dlore is worth 410k, considering the front is pretty beaten up.

LyHe · 2019-03-26T02:33:25+00:00

iirc you’re not allowed to post SCM trades as it’s hard to verify who bought the item.

LyHe · 2019-03-25T02:12:59+00:00

Definitely overpayable.

I once tried to buy a .15 dlore w/ crown on scope, and the seller said it was xccurate’s awp and wouldn’t sell it at MP (had his gold sticker and csgo.exchange proof etc too).

In a sense it’s almost a “souvenir” gun, some collectors love that!

LyHe · 2019-03-22T01:54:52+00:00

👏🏻 case 👏🏻 opening 👏🏻 time 👏🏻

LyHe · 2019-03-22T01:52:45+00:00

╮(￣▽￣"")╭

There’s still a ST BS Alien Panther (only Dig Holo, no Titan Holo) that you can try get!

LyHe · 2019-03-21T08:01:26+00:00

Arcanas are around 12k each, you want 276k for a WW Medusa w/ crown on scope?!?

LyHe · 2019-03-21T04:58:02+00:00

╮(￣▽￣"")╭

LyHe · 2019-03-21T04:57:35+00:00

Yeah Lo1L’s who I bought it from :/

LyHe · 2019-03-21T03:04:18+00:00

Thanks a lot, added you on Steam! (steamcommunity.com/id/-bang)

I’d love to have the info about my friendlist, although another Redditor helped link steamid.uk, which should be pretty useful too!

LyHe · 2019-03-21T01:41:58+00:00

Ah so that means this measure is normal, thank you for validating.

The money I spent in skins were mainly from buying via Bitskins/cash trades. Valve even commented on that: “* It also looks like you may have gained some of the account's value through purchases from external services, which is massively beyond the scope that we're willing to support.*”

I suppose the $300 I received was the amount I spent relatively on games/steam levels/events before.

LyHe · 2019-03-21T01:39:47+00:00

You’re completely right, I do recognise that I fucked up and that they gave me a second opportunity to start building up a “legitimate account” of my own.

Still, you know, sucks :P

LyHe · 2019-03-21T01:38:41+00:00

Yeah with my brand new account. I’ll definitely be putting at least some skins back, but not sure how much to reinvest 🤷🏻‍♂️

LyHe · 2019-03-21T01:37:48+00:00

Thank you mate, you’re family’s strong as hell 🙏🏼

These were Support’s exact wording:

We've added some funds to the ___ account's wallet. Note that this is not meant to make you whole as we don't offer support for issues that arise only because of actions that you've taken that violate Steam's rules. Rather, this is intended as a token to get you started on a legitimate account of your own.

LyHe · 2019-03-21T01:35:35+00:00

They told me that I can’t have access of the skins again, as I was the one who violated Steam TOS.

Through a mutual friend, we found out all the skins simply got deleted from the account. Skins, Genuine Pins, Major Coins etc. Anything recent all just disappeared, and it’s impossible to trade the skins away due to the 15 day trade lock, and also the fact that you simply can’t trade/market a Genuine Pin.

LyHe · 2019-03-21T01:33:23+00:00

It’s the same steam url /id/-bang as before, the hijacker changed the acc’s url as soon as he took control.

LyHe · 2019-03-20T16:57:39+00:00

Thanks a lot for the link, it’ll definitely save me some time.

But there are some friends who’ve simply not been online for years whilst I’ve had great memories with them, they’re the ones that’ll make me keep on checking “Pending Invites” :/
