well heres a sweat maker for me. i was playing dod and got disconnected and contacted by person by the name of "support". i couldn't open a game after that. So he says that T2Kalim@hotmail.com has reported my account as stolen. And heres the good part, in order for them do a "scan" of my account he needed my account name and password. (so if hes really from steam he can't even get my account name?) so i went into a very lengthy discussion with this person. So sum it up, he said my account will be handed over by 11:06 tonight. and my ip will be banned from steam. So he can do all this other magical stuff... but can't do a simple scan for logs and see who is the rightful owner??? He said he would freeze the account and let the other person change the password, yet he can't do a scan but he can do that. I put up the whole discusion in txt format for you all to read and you be tje judge. At the end he offered to call me, so i gave him my number, and he did call me, and i asked for his manager but he said hes all alone right now. And he said he was based out of new york, but the number he called me from is from Quebec
1-819-310-1090. so theres another thing that hes lying about.

so plz check it out, i know its a lengthy discussion because i keep on going on and on

Lots of scams out there, you did the correct thing never give your pass or log in to anyone. Maybe report this to someone at steam.

wow, looks like you wasted alot of your time with a scammer. It says at the top of the steam chat window "never tell your password to anyone". Funny how they just use support now as a name since they took out steam and valve in an update.

Here's the thing. Don't add people to your friends list that you don't know. Later on they can change their display name (thanks to the smart people of steaming pile of) and you start getting messages from weird people.

I actually got a message of the previous notion that we are trying to see if you are the real owner, and his grammar was horrible including some mispelled words. So I messaged them back and said "It would have worked with some fool if you went to Microsoft Word did a spell and grammar check."
