Scam warning: you (still) can't trade Steam wallet.

Your friend should be a tad more picky with his friend list.

This is an image of this new type of scam:

the guy above me is an idiot

But if it's senzu beans?

Keyword there is "most".

Brings back fond memories, them magic beans

You can trade wallet codes, it's almost the same thing.

Exactly. There are ways to do it through the market with someone you trust (and a 15% fee), but none that are safe if someone decides to screw you. Which makes it doubly true that anyone who tries to convince you that you can do so is almost certainly setting you up for a scam.

if you sent me your steam name,your email address and the password you use for everything I will tell you how people can bring themself to do it.

Meanwhile on TPB............ 47% done

Not sure if it's sarcastic or not, however that new device thing would be a problem. Whenever you clear your browser cookies/history/whatever and log into steam using said browser you must re-activate it as if it's a new device.

I'm not rich or gullible enough to get scammed.

sent you a friend request

Need moar scammers? I can link you to some.

I'm not popular either :(

No we don't

I accept all adds, my trades say to just add me if you agree, it is much faster and requires me to check my trades less.

Perhaps not. Some of the screenshots I saw were downright laughable, with horribly garbled syntax and punctuation, but others were good enough to fool people who didn't realize there was a user input for text and it wasn't coming from Steam itself.

It's not a particularly difficult scam to see through, but it's a new twist using a feature that a lot of people don't understand well yet, and given the number of reports popping up on Steamrep it seems a fair number of people are falling for it.

And I wouldn't really worry, I doubt Steam thinks your $1 million offer was anything but a joke. :P

The ??? stands for Give Valve Your Money

You have ten minutes to figure out what you did wrong here. See you in ten.

I won't scam you bro lol

has transferred a turtle to your Steam Wallet.

I think it's probably that a lot of these aren't regular scammers using alt accounts but rather kids who found out about this and want free stuff.

What if someone else buys it from the market?

Yes, that's doable. However, it's still not "safe." There's no way to perform it as part of a trade, so you (or whoever's going first in the trade) need to be able to trust that either the person will give you the item after you buy their overpriced thing from the market or vice versa.

Got a link to the announcement? Not doubting you, I'd just like to see it.

Probably for the best. I'm generally opposed to removing features because the scammers will just move on to some other trick, but the fact that someone needs to be on your friends list to send them a trade offer makes trade offer comments pretty redundant and useless aside from being abused by scammers.
