Shitty Scammers: a blog for amusing stories of dumb scammers

Closed
oxguy3

People on this forum seem to be having a lot of fun laughing at idiotic scammers lately, so I decided to start a blog where anyone can submit their scam stories/chat logs for the world to enjoy. After spending a lot more time than I intended to making the blog's theme, it is finally ready to launch! Introducing Steam Scammers!

So far it only has two stories taken from this forum, but anyone can contribute to it with the submit link at the top. If I can come up with enough content, I'm hoping to have a new post every day (though I have a feeling that I'm not gonna have nearly enough stuff to post to do that, but we'll see...).

EDIT: I guess submissions were down earlier, but they seem to be working now (must have been a problem with Tumblr).

In some games begging is actually profitable. Like in Runescape, people give money to beggars just to shut them up.

One of the logs mentions something about Steam Enhanced. Is this worth downloading? I've seen it before just never really thought it'd be as useful.

Lets you easily check their SteamGifts, SteamTrades and SteamRep pages, confirm they are who they insist. Useful against scammers for obvious reasons.

First, it's Enhanced Steam.
Second, it's really good. Even helps you track sales on Steam.

It would be nice to read some clever scammers as precaution. The shitty scammer scamming is obvious enough.

Not very interested in terribad scam stories tbh, but the layout is pretty awesome, if you made it yourself!
The ask and submit story buttons do just return a "technical trouble" error, but I assume you're still working on that!

I did make it myself (although I did it just by reworking Steam's news page into a Tumblr theme), thanks! And yeah I don't know what was up with that; I guess Tumblr was having technical problems but they seem to be working now.

Your site is down. Or to be more precise, I can't submit anything.

Ruh-roh, that's not good. EDIT: It's working for me now, maybe Tumblr was having temporary problems or something. Someone did manage to submit something at one point, so try again now.

I would type them all out to remove any possible "calling out" as even the avatar is enough to find the users. Typing it out would also improve the looks tremendously as it looks pretty shitty in my opinion with all the information blacked out and different Steam skins.

Why are you blocking the usernames? Shouldn't we all be able to see who they are? It's not calling out since it's on another site right?

The stories that have the usernames blocked are stories I copied from other people who had already done it. I won't censor them myself, but if someone else has done it, then there's not much I can do to uncensor it.

I'm not sure what's wrong; it's working fine for me. Can you post a screenshot of the error you're getting?

"Error

That's the error on the forms I've been getting.

I can access Tumblr all right, but the Shitty Scammers blog doesn't load. I googled it up, and i could read a few posts liked by someone. But i cannot access this specific blog directly. Throws the following error (tried FF and IE)

"Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

EDIT : Was able to access the website by going to "http://shittyscammers.tumblr.com/a " which took me to the blog with a page not found error, but i was able to access the archives etc. from there. But clicking on the Home button or the Logo (which again links to the home page) errors out again.

Hmmm, Google says the answer might be that you need to clear your cache. But I also did a HTML validity test on the website, so I've now made a small change that could have some slight chance of fixing the error (doubtful though). Otherwise, I have no idea :P
