Don't people know that if you log into steam on browser, what ever legit site you are trying to log in it shows "log in as ...". On scam sites it doesn't give you the option never, you have to log in manually.
one thing make me confusion, what its point steam guard??? trade or receive any skins need permission from steam guard BUT stolen by bot not need permission how!?
Mir ist es auch einmal passiert ein bajonett doppler phase 3 wurde mir gescammt hatte es grade mal 11 Tage war zu dem zetipunkt 480 euro wert. hatte dann keine skins mehr und hab auch aufgehört mit cs (vor einem jahr ca) seit vorgestern spiel ich wieder und man merkt halt das was fehlt :(

@@RazekVit afaik since the scammed user types in their credentials the scammer has access to everything, from login info to api key, and is able to control their steam guard stuff as well
For crying out loud Valve add skin insurance packs to the store page of cs i dont even care if its 50$ a year. Acquired skins should be locked on the recieving account for a 1 week period which will be extended indefinitely in case a report is filed until a thorough investigation comes to a conclusion. If there was foul play involved ban the recieving account and trade the skins back to the original owner.
Well, the traders must have seen the sign with: "this user may not be trusted" when trading it (or something like that). Valve never put a high price on skins, the community did and that created all this hate and dumb shit. Even I (60$ daggers and no more) would never send of my knife to a stranger lvl 1 ACC. I don't even trust all the skinsites. How can a person just pass on 24K skin to a sketchy account lol. I learned not to trust people on the internet by losing 15$ once on a scam-gamblesite.
