Steam Accounts & Scams
« on: March 16, 2020, 05:34:52 PM »
You might actually know scammers exist in all places and you're never really safe. Actually in Duck Game communities I am, there has been a lot of cases of users getting their accounts scammed. Just in case this expands, be sure to know with who and what are you dealing with always. Don't let this happen to your accounts.

Guide from CS:GO community (One of the biggest affected by this types of scams due items can be traded by real money.) It actually explains a lot of different types of scams:

One of the latest ways for scammers to scam you, in a reddit subforum about Steam scams:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamScams/comments/c9ibt4/the_i_accidentally_reported_your_steam_account/

Another article about scams from the Australia government:

Hopefully you won't be scammed in any form. Steam is not the only affected by scams, your discord also does. Warrior555's account in Discord was also stolen yesterday, but he managed to recover it.

In any case if you're scammed/your account get stolen, be sure to recover it ONLY by going to the OFFICIAL support page for that page (Example, discord's support or steam's support)

This topic in my opinion should be pinned. Stay always in alert, and always away from those freaking scammers.
