PSA: Steam TF2 Scam/Methods

[ArayhMD]

And they're back with the same scam, making a fake community post showing that they're steam Admins, then forcing people to trade with an Item Verification Bot.

This guy stepped it up and used one of his old Trade Banned Accounts to post on his new hijacked steam profile, and pretend that the new steam profile is an admin and trade banned the old account.

There's evidently a resurgence of the old Trade Bot website scams, recently saw 3-4 people get messaged about this scam on trade servers, where the scammer will use a legit or suspicious website such as opskins and tell you to place your items there, and then tell you to not confirm trading to the bot. Then they will use a secondary account posed as that bot and send you a trade offer for your item, making it seem like the website is trading you for your item so you can sell it there.
