Well, I'll tell you exactly what happened...

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 guy told me right away 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 asks me MY NUMBER!! LOOOOOOL. He thinks I'm stupid or what? Yes, I am a bit stupid for think 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:

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.

I know he's not a "game scammer" and maybe this isn't concern of ST, but if I had the power to do it, I'll definitely ban him ¬¬

Just incredible -.- 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 :/

PS: Really sorry for my bad english, I'm not english native speaker >.<

Btw, just a little comment of something weird...

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 don't know, it sounds weird to me. Steven, if you're reading this, I won't accept you because I don't know why you add me, and I don't trust you, sorry :/

Beware Lithuanians bearing gifts.

He's been at it for a while. Very obvious scammer. Report him on his community page and move on with your life.

The same thing happened to me with this guy --'... he said that he can only send darksiders 2 as a gift on gmail or hotmail xD... So, he tried to reset my password by asking me the answer of my security question (i don,t give xD... i'm not idiot). Then, i revceived a littuenian email with the title: google account recovery. This game wanted that I give him the link to reset my google gmail account to have my steam account after --'

He just tried to scam me out of a game. He said that he works for Valve and that Valve's rules state that in a trade, the person with the tradeable game has to go first (that's me) and that he had to give me his key second. I, of course, did not agree. Then he said he was going to ban me from using Steam.

I told him that I suspected Valve employees probably knew the rules better than he did and how to speak English better than he did. =)

All the more reason to ensure you are using Steam Guard. Yes, it is a pain in the ____, but well worth going up against hackers and scammers like these.
