Well, I made a topic on Steam Trades too, but I think it worth it to talk about this here as well.

This is the thing:

I was trading things, talking to people on Steam, when a message from this person (who wanted to trade me something first, then stop talking, and at the end obviously we didn't trade a thing) came to me, simulating a group messagge, saying that he would giveaway Darksiders2 to the first person to say "I want". I said it, for curiosity. The fun thing is that I told him "I want" knowing I wasn't going to be the first, because he has sent that messagge some minutes ago. Of course, he answered me right away that the gift was for me (yay, winner ¿?). The thing was strange already.

The guy told me that he haven't got the gift on Steam, and he asks me my e-mail for sending me the gift. I thought it was weird, doesn't really have much sense at all, but what the hell. I wanted to know where this was leading. I told him a couple stupid things, and he ask me for a sec to send me the e-mail.

Ok, the thing is that righ away, it came to my e-mail in-box something about a "Google Account Recovery". I was here with my boyfriend, I showed him this, and we realized that it was this guy trying to enter my e-mail.
Of course, this didn't end up here.

Then, he comes and asks me for a "password". LOL. After that, everything I told him was to get proof of him trying to cheat me.
I couldn't take a screenshot of the full conversation because I closed the window after giving him my e-mail (I regret of that ¬¬), but this screenshot I think that shows proof enough:

He asked me MY NUMBER!! LOOOOOOL. He thinks I'm stupid or what? Yes, I am a bit stupid for thinking he was really giving away a game (I had my doubts, though), but I also had gifted games for someone unknown (and for real ¬¬) and it worth to try... But I'm not THAT stupid!

Really, it's unbelieveable, he really thought I was going to give him my REAL password and phone number? GET A LIFE.
Well, the most funny thing of all, was when I recieved this mail:

http://i.imgur.com/v7sBZ.png

Guess what language that mail is in? Lithuanian. Guess what country is he from? LITHUANIA. Check it on his Steam profile http://steamcommunity.com/id/skillrex1/

Anyway, just wanted to warn you against this asshole, don't be naive and don't give this kind of information to ANYONE.

The worst thing is that he has +rep as a trader (at least in his Steam profile), and that could make some people to trust him... Terrible mistake :/

Btw, just a strange thing... If u see his profile, some guy named "Steven" gave him +rep. I don't know that guy from anywhere, of course.
The thing is, that a couple minutes after I told him I was going to report him, this guy called Steven add me on Steam. A guy who I was never talked or see in my life. Of course, they are friends.

I doubt right now about how trustable his rep is.



Maybe it isn't about your concern... But this guy is in the community, and some of you may have the bad luck of having to deal with him. ):

clap clap clap Well done. These endeavors are always humorous to cast down and make ridicule of.

Contact Steam support about this.

And yes, calling people out explicitly is against the rules, so I suggest editing out the profile link.

Ok... And how will people know it's him? D:

But I prefer to edit that it to be closed. My intention here really is for people to know this kind of treats (probably many of you already know, but it might be people who don't).

Don't really understand the sense of your comment. The guy was really obvious, but there ALWAYS can be people naive enough to fall on this kind of treats :/
I think his +rep make it worse.

Reminds me of the time a friend I know of got sent a steam message about how he won a Steam game and all he had to do to get it was to turn off Steam Guard. It was quite funny. Of course he didn't turn off Steam Guard and all as he explained, but it was a hilarious phishing attempt.

This guy its been scamming and/or trying to the whole day.

He also had his real picture when he tried to scam me XD, then he changed to that one.

The best of his reps is this one:

"Awesome person never tricked at trading" XDDDD

Ive tryed to add you, ive reported him allready on Steamtrades and Steam itself. Ive also known 2 other guys who reported him with screenshoots. Accept me if u like to see them or smth.

His afternoon tactic was saying people he was from Steampowered Staff, and was hunting scammers XDDD

Dont worry too much, this is possibly one of the lamest scammers ive ever seen.

If we did on Main Steam, its not necessary to do it on steamrep. There is an sticky topic when u try to report, which says " Do not report on multiple communities ".

I am from Lithuania myself, and from what I've seen Lithuanians can get this dumb for something.. I've seen many of Lithuanians on a project try doing scamming and end up with the most strangest ways trying to scam

Most Lithuanians like this give bad rep to the real guys that are there ._.

Scammers will scam, or at least try to. BTW Your English is fine so don't worry about it that. The message and point you were making was very clear. Good luck with the future idiots who will try scam aswell :P.
