The Scammer
A couple of day's ago I was almost scammed I uploaded a video on this which is basically a long 20 minute video explaning what happend lol. I always thought scammers only fool dumb people.The fact I was being foooled enough to screen record my screen but luckily turned the screen off when I put in passwords made me feel very dumb. Anybody can get scammed especially now and despite me thinking I am smart enough not to be manipulated all it took was two random pics showing a devs reputation to make me "trust" him and have me think of him as a dev.But off course Steam devs do not talk on discord they do not solve issues there but I was convinced enough to continue.It got to the point were I bought him a $50 steam code but then refused to give him the steam code.I did this in order to verify I was not using account to make fradulent purhases.But I kept telling myself something was not right.It wasn't until I noticed I couldn't log in anymore and the "dev" who was a scammed threathened to delete my account if I didn't give him the steam code i realized something was wrong. As said the main reason I was problably scammed was because I didn't really care much about my steam account so I didn't really worry so much but he still had contorl and could make purchases witht he debit card of my account and that coulda let to some bad problems.
Eventually he clicked to delete my account but steam support had to step in to accomplish that.And I did the same sending a request to change my email back to mine and that I was scammed.Steam chose my side and I won.I got my account back changed the password.As for the 50$ dollars that I actually spent which is crazy because I don't spend so much and really gave it a thought. I am now getting a refund hopefully I will. But still bought the code anyways and even had voice chat and sharing my pc screen! so he could hear what I was saying.but he didn't say nothing another sign something was wrong.The main thing that got me was the fact he said I was to recieve 3 free steam games ultimately that will make anybody crazy happy and thats how I became feeling I got lucky and the emotiuons and feeling of getting 3 steam games made me fall into the trap. But in the end the scammer lost he almost won but I didn't get the steam code even after making the purchase and was sketched out because acccording to him I was going to get a refund even tho a "steam dev" can't refund you if your buying from a different website!Anybody can get scammed at ANY Time and even if you think your smart that might be your downfall be aware and careful of scammers and hackers in the internet.Once they scam you you can't really do much for revenge unless your a hacker which sucks I never thought I would almost get scammed but it does happen to anyone not just old grandmas.
