So I was watching a video, when a certain comment catched my eyes: a hack that would make you able to put money into your steam wallet.

I think, it can be dangerous to your steam profile, even if they say, you don't need to give your password. Also sounds illegal to just "hack money" into your account without any topup thingies or normal card/paypal payment.

I know, it sounds amazing to be able to get anything you want, I'd also gladly buy some games, but let's stay sane: This whole thing just looks way too good to be real. I wouldn't risk of losing my steam account because of such greed.
Be careful.

"make you able to put money into your steam wallet"

I think there is no need to discuss if this IS a scam or not.

The easy to follow number one rule of the internet:

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

For example, these websites about "share your referral link 20 times to get a $20 Steam wallet code". Now think about it, in what interest would it be to the person hosting the website to give away wallet codes for no reason? Especially with such an amount of money. 20 referrals equal $20, so $1 per referral? Makes no sense.

And this rule goes for everything else, even in real life. Don't believe what seems unbelievable without a good and trusted source.

He's referring to the quote "If it's too good to be true, it probably is."

The key thing here is the word probably. The Humble Bundle is quite well-known and reputable, and in no way suspicious. There's no reason to doubt it's authenticity. But there is definite reason to doubt that some random schmuck on YouTube is the ONLY person to figure out about this super secret method that would be considered the hugest exploit in Steam history if it actually allowed you to add money to your Steam wallet.

The only logical thing to do when you see such posts on YouTube (or anywhere that allows users to report/flag other's posts), is to report/flag the post as a scam/phishing/spam and move on...

Like jbondguy007 said, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".

There's no such thing as a free lunch, just like there's no such thing as "free Steam wallet funds"...

It's an obvious scam that I've seen on tons of videos (mostly gaming videos, specifically SeaNanners), what's funny is that the person posting the one's I've seen is from Romania (I'm in no way saying that all Romanians are scammers, just this specific person) and every single "allowed" comment (because the thread is set to not allow replies) are also from Romania, while claiming to usually be from the US.

I use YouTube Center, which is an extension for Chrome, Firefox etc, which allows me to see what country "almost" every YouTube account originated from at the time of creation.

Two key things to look for when you see these posts to know they are scams, the thread doesn't allow comments and if there are comments, every allowed comment is made from the same country as the OP of the scam thread.
