This is too funny.

 

I especially like the part where "br0kenrabbit" tells him that Valve employees never ask for usernames or passwords.

 

Then br0kenrabbit actually asks "Greg" for his username and password, and he actually fell for it. lol

This gave me an idea: hacker wars.

Instead of banning hackers, just collect them all in hacker only games, and stream it on twitch.

On a more serious note, this happened to me about a year ago, except in an rs scam

"doubling money!" -scammer

"you scammer! Give me my money back!" -random girl

"Doubling money! 300k test!" -scammer

"would you double a mil for me?" - me

"sure, trade it" -scammer

"Don't do it, he took my 500k"-PM from the girl that got scammed

"No, test first, later" -me

"ok, 300k"

*trades*

*trades*

//I now have 900k, or a 300k profit from the 600k I had before

"I'm still not sure do 600k, then I'll do the mill"-me

"fine"-scammer

*trades*

*trades*

// I now have 1500K, or 1.5 Mil

"Now do the mil"-scammer

"allready did, you just gave me it"-me

//I then trade the girl back her 400k, and leave with my 500k profit"

He deserved this imo because he tried to hack someones account which is bad so he got something bad back.

I +1 this :P some douche got into my sisters e-mail somehow and was re-directing all her e-mails to a yahoo e-mail with the same details ^_^ I sent him an e-mail back with a blank image with a keylogger+rat bundle; no major details :p but let's just say looks like he won't be bothering anyone any time soon.
