The scammers thread.

[old reece frost]

Hi, since I was recently scammed, I want to make a list of people who you should not trade with on Steam. This can also work as a database of scammers, just comment below some people who have/have tried to scam you, and they will be added to the list.

 

I'll start with my scammer. 

 

Steam profile SteamRep  Proof he scammed me

 

Yes, the list is small now, but with work, we can make this bigger and can hopefully stop these people from scamming anyone else.

 

If you want to report a scammer, just comment with their Steam ID and proof of how they are a scammer.

How did he scam you?

Edit: never mind

I suggest having a broader range of services that people have been scammed on, instead of just steam. I guess that would include things like craigslist as well as other online stores similar to Steam. 

 

Edit:

Like Origin

That's a nice suggestion, is there like a Steam ID thing with Origin? Because if there's not then it will be quiet difficult to keep track of scammers since they can just change their names.

This is hardly the place for that.

 

There are literally THOUSANDS of people scamming people on Steam alone.

and there are already sites dedicated to it anyways.

I have only done these types of gaming deals over Ebay. 

Never been scammed.

The best thing to do is just to educate yourself on how to identify a scammer rather than trying to single out all of them, amassing a huge database where you can't find anyone you are concerned about in a convenient manner.

The Origin login is same unless they change it with support everytime.

Isn't it against the CoC to name and shame? If not then i'm all for this thread but i've never been scammed myself, common sense ftw!
