TOPIC: Another Scam Method

Another Scam Method 9 years 3 months ago #202221

Since to all the people who never knew about this, and they've attempted to scam me today, one guy ofcourse being a girl, they actually invited me to their lobby, I found their main account which they share their things to. Watch out for this,
I don't care if you already know about this, this is for the ones who don't know. Their profiles look very legit and one has 600 hrs on csgo.

Here's an attempt I found on pastebin since I forgot to copy and paste mine. I only heard about it a few days ago, till it happend.

Why the f*ck would anyone listen to a guy on the Internet. First he asked him to play CSGO with you in a Tournament? A random person?
Next he asks if he can get on TS to talk with him. Why would you want to talk with him if you are going to bed after "this game", why would you wanna go talk to some random idiot on Teamspeak? Only forever alone, no friends idiot would do that, and his English is broken.
Anyone who gets scammed by this is by standards an idiot. No offense.
In my entire life I met 2 scammers who tried to do something like this to me and I just told them to f*ck off,reported them and blocked them. Thats it. Thats how you deal with them.

Not everyone can understand that this was a scam, it looked legit at first, their hours and etc. But I already knew it was a scam right there, where they said tournament. I completely agree with you, but seriously some people fail to avoid this scam.

Never said it was new, this scam method has been used much more now.

I never was scammed, most of my friends were scammed. I never have gotten scammed. I'm warning the people who don't know.
So basically they add you, ask you if you want to join a tournment with 20 keys pool prize and each gets 5 keys. They invite you to a lobby, ask you to open teamspeak and join their server, once you do it disconnects you and gives you a message saying you need to install this sound plugin with a link. You click the link, it downloads a EXE legit looking plugin installer, you open it nothing happens, 10 minutes later, woosh, rip steam, rip email, rip everything you've typed. Basically installs a keylogger .
