Hi I explain what happened .....
in this chat there my friend named fantik, talking to this Admin # 96....
contacted me immediately as soon as the fact,I was also entered in the chat,to see what required...this person asked for the data to my friend,some people may fall into this trap,but making you a question .... but why should an admin request data?
and I said, you're a scammer, had disappeared after 1 minutes admin

how does this person has written in blue?
how did you open a live chat with my friend?

I know it was a scam but I am curious what have you to say.....

to make the text blue, all you do is type /me before you right some thing

kinda like this: /me how are you today?

LOL I just did this to my brother, the blue text is only blue when you aren't playing anything, if you are in game and your name is green then your text will also appear in green.

Fun fact! gotta remember the "/me"

To make blue text just do like "/me text" to talk from third person . like , /me dances

You could report that guy to steamrep, that can help alot of people.

A steam support member would never ask for account details.

Yeah, if you have not figured it out yet from the replies above, this is a fake.

Magpie81 · 05-29-2012, 03:06 PM

No admin will contact you for personal information over steam. And why would they seeing how valve owns and runs the servers. Also I would expect an actual admin to actually know how to use the English language properly and also spell Italian

nbajammer · 05-29-2012, 03:11 PM

Not to mention Italian is misspelled. That was my first clue looking at the picture.

Magpie81 · 05-29-2012, 03:16 PM

A misspelling is the first clue, first clue should be the big warning that no one from Valve will contact you about your steam account over the friends network.

nbajammer · 05-29-2012, 03:35 PM

Yes but that might not always be obvious, given people can make their display name say whatever - they can make it look real. Even if they manage to disguise it well enough to fool someone, that misspelling won't get them too far.

It's fake and seriously, you need to report this guy. Valve claims zero responsibility for scams so your report could save someone else a lot of gripe.

CTRL ALT DEL ! · 05-29-2012, 05:42 PM

Ask your self one question, why would Valve need your username and password EVER when they already have them and they know, because you are signed in that you also know them.

Once you answer that question, your set to have some fun with a highjacker. Give them random usernames and passwords until they get frustrated and go away, it can get good fun. Opps sorry that was my paypal email and pw.. sorry thats my other pw for my other account with lots of games etc... and report there profile always.
