You know I actually fell for it once. They had a pretty sly approach but I still failed by simply forgetting my basic security posture. It was an invite to a competitive CS2 group. Well when the link said leaving steam that was one thing, but when the external web asked for my log in that was a prob - ThreadSky

I ended up giving them my creds and the only thing that saved me was their sheer inexperience. For whatever reason, after already gaining access to my account, instead of just cleaning my clock, they decided to delete games and items threatening “they were steam admin and doing it as punishment”

Because I had insulted them for sending me a link with HTTP format and meanwhile I immediately shut down my network and called steam support somehow I got blessed with all my lost items restored but I really felt like an idiot

hey, falling for it once means that it won't happen again lol. now you got the experience

in this case the scam is different. they claim to promote your game, but in reality they buy fake wishlists for cheap, then say that they marketed your game and ask for a ton of money

it's a... very hard to fall to scam because not only they target developers, but they also all consistently have the most shitty and broken english possible, a skill a marketer should have well

but then again, if nobody fell for it they wouldn't be around so idk LOL

I hear that certain scammers do that on purpose so only the most gullible people fall for it. Dunno if there's anything to that but it makes sense to me
