Finally someone tried to scam me <3

Closed

I've always been waiting for someone who would eventually attempt to scam me since I really really want to mess with the scammers. Well, today someone made a phishing attempt on me. However, he/she didn't respond sadface.
Anyway, I got his/her gluteus maximus reported on steamrep now.

And, as I promised him/her that it will be published:

I find it funny everyone behaves like a god and feels invincible when he/she uncloaks a phishing attempt. I mean, these attempts are bound to be primitive because they are made hundreds of times simultaneously and reporting them has almost no effect since it's part of their plan. This applies to every regular phishing, not only on Steam

behaves like a god and feels invincible

Hey, I'm sad because that kid didn't reply. I've been waiting for MONTHS to get someone to scam me so I can have the joy of messing with the scammer. I behave like me and I feel disappoint.

He didn't reply and went offline about five minutes after my last line. I got to call him "sweetie" tho.

Now I've been on Steam for almost 4 years and today really is the first time that this happens. Worth the weight? Unfortunately not.

You didn't really mess with him , you could have trolled him and play something funny insted of showing you knew this was fake . But they are probably bots anyway.

I find your lack of trusting people disturbing. That poor bastard just wanted you to get a free game!

Lol, I get messages like that every day, how else do you think I got to about 400 games on my library.

Kidding aside, just report them, they might as well be bots, so don't even try and respond to them.

Reported that kid on steamrep and Steam itself. I request more talkative scammers in the future.

Just like you said. Suspended. There is no reason for such threads to begin with, but when you start to post screenshots with unedited links and their steam ID... Don't be surprised to see red banner one day.

Now that was unexpected xD

Many thanks for not reading my URGENT!!! support topic where I explicitly state that that was everything but my intention AND put a censored picture there. Many thanks for keeping me suspended for 4 days. Many thanks for not reacting to my friend request and when I sent you a message.

1 decade ago

AND put a censored picture there.

It wasn't

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

In the support thingy, I put a link to a censored picture. Now the link in the main post is also censored. Duh.

That's why I said it wasn't

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I was suspended, sweetie. I surfed around and suddenly I was suspended. I couldn't access the forums. I couldn't edit this post. I am, however, extremely disappoint at the way the support works here. Suspending me for SPREADING DANGER TO THE PUBLIC and not even DOING ANYTHING to stop that danger. Also NOT READING MY UUUURRRGEEEENNNNTTTT support request.

Focusing on suspending, then MAKING THE SUSPENSION LONGER, but not focussing on the actual problem.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

sweetie, are you sure you were suspended for this?

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

2 days for unedited phishing link and partial call-out.
2 more days for being fully aware of releasing danger to the world.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

So double punishment, basically for the uncensored link. "Good" to know from others.

1 decade ago

I dont get it, the title says finally someone tried to scam me, who can be THAT stupid to use the link?

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Ask Hichigo.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I find that a lot of the suspensions on this site are given to active and friendly members of the community. A lot of these are unnecessary and are dished out by trigger-happy and jobsworth mods that could give you a slap on the wrist and a friendly reminder. Sure, these things break the rules but who really reads all the bullshit small print? Sorry for the rant..

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I like rants. And I agree. No apologizing necessary.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I feel like suspensions and bans should be a last resort for people that are actively trying to abuse or mess with the system. In this example you might have broken the rules, but it wasn't malicious or with bad intent. Four days? Really?

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes, four days. Two days and then it got extended by another two days.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Aus irgendeinem Grund tun das viele aber ich kann das wirklich nicht nachvollziehen. Für mich klingen englische Filme absolut fade, langweilig und emotionslos. Die deutschen Tonspuren sind meistens mit mehr Emotion. Ich bin jedesmal absolut enttäuscht wenn ich in deutschen Tonspuren die witzigste Szene überhaupt sehe, ich diese dann im Internet nur auf englisch finde und danach höchst enttäuscht bin.

1 decade ago

aber viele viele witze werden erst im englischen lustig :/

PS: predator is von 2009 :3

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Laut Wikipedia nicht :S
Ich sehe das nicht so. Ich persönlich find die Witze auf deutsch sogar lustiger. Ohne Scheiß.
Nehmen wir zum Beispiel Snatch - Schweine und Diamanten. Solche Zitate wie "Weg mit der Kanone, Schwabbel" findest du im Englischen nicht. Außerdem klingt Boris in der englischen Version so als würde er nur röcheln und man versteht fast nichts. Deutsch mit russischem Akzent dagegen ist das beste überhaupt.
Oder There Will Be Blood. "Stell dir vor, du hast einen Milchshake... und ich hab einen Milchshake. Und ich habe diesen Strohhalm, siehst du. Und dieser Strohhalm... geht durch den gaaaaaaaAAAAaaaaaanzen Raum... und trinkt deinen Milchshake. Ich! Trinke! Deinen! Milchshake! ICH TRINKE IHN AUS!"
"Du bist nichts weiter als ein BASTARD AUS EINEM KORB!"
"DRRRAAAAAINAAAAAAAGE! DRRRAAAAAAINAAAAAAGE, ELI, DU DUMMER JUNGE!"
Also, ich find das SEHR viel witziger als in der faden englischen Version.

On an entirely unrelated note, shouldn't the Japanese rendering of your name on your profile be メトークッス (with a small tsu)
instead of メトークシス (with a regular tsu) ? Right now, it reads 'Metōkutsusu'.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

メトークシス is completely okay.

EDIT: It's "shi", not "tsu"

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

But.. that doesn't make any sense. It sounds nothing like the English (or German) sound of your nick ?

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Because it's not a tsu, it's a shi

1 decade ago

Oh wow, that's embarrassing. I should really really put my glasses on before trying to correct people's Japanese and making an ass of myself in the progress. Sorry ! :D

1 decade ago

No problem. metōkushisu does not think of you as an ass.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

People commenting on how bad the scamming attempt was
Me being disappointed because the scammer was far from being talkative
Me getting suspended by Hichigo for putting up an uncensored link, then making my suspension longer because I was clearly realizing that it was dangerous.
Me being incredibly angry at Hichigo because I instantly filed an URGENT!!! support request where I put up a censored link. However, it was not read and the link was uncensored for the entire time.
