Author Topic: PSA: One More Steam Scam  (Read 2618 times)

So I've had 2 people add me and try this on me so far, out of nowhere.

They added me, and didn't respond when I said hello. Around an hour later, they sent a link that looks like a legit one, but isn't, claiming to be a friend of one of your 'old friends'. This old friend couldn't reach you at the time, so wants you to add him etc etc.


I haven't opened the link, but I see that there is an extra 'L' in the word 'community', so I just wanted to put this out there to watch for this one, too, and wonder if anyone else has received anything like this?


I've been getting stuff tons of random friend requests. Most private and some legit but idfk who they are.
obv, im ignoring all of them.

commumilty

Oh jesus christ I didn't even notice the commumilty part. Wow.

this has been happening for several years now, in fact

most recently I've gotten one with the url "staemcomulity"

looks like they're running out

I got one of these today.

I'm still waiting for a scam link that goes to steamycuminunity

This person decided to send me this scam AS WELL AS ANOTHER

Quote from: Steam Chat
[unassigned]: Hello mate. My friend in fb ask me add you. He want to talking with you, but he can't add you, have an error...

Dragonslayer182 (Techie): Who?

[unassigned]: Can you add him please *Link Block, same link as OP* He will waiting for you, he say me you and he old friends

Dragonslayer182 (Techie): I don't exactly want to talk to a scam/virus

[unassigned]: Just copy a link to your browser Mozilla/Chrome/IE this will take like 10 sec

Dragonslayer182 (Techie): I don't want to use the Steam "Communrlity"

[unassigned]: Hi

[unassigned]: Will you exchange these things? (screenshot *Orilink link block* )

[unassigned]: Go trade, bro

Dragonslayer182 (Techie): You just messaged me one virus, now you have the balls to send another...


Whoever that scammer is, him doesn't understand when to use the objective pronoun.

I have no clue why I am getting so many of these now, their so damn obvious, I just keep reporting them for scams of phising.
