Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 10:32 pm
well some guy added me to steam friends called "marko.tiepanne" and then changed their name to "STEAM VERIFICATION SUPPORT" and messaged me....
i replied....
22:17 - [CiC]Nagash: view alias's = marko.tiepanne
22:17 - [CiC]Nagash: wonder who i need to report and remove from steam friends?
22:17 - [CiC]Nagash: fucking retard
22:18 - [CiC]Nagash: why would steam require my steam username for a start
then they mysteriously went offline... either blocking me or going offline incase i reported, but i reported them before i said it
b0nes also had this happen to him, because i saw him say it in the WPTF2L channel, thats how i instantly knew it was a fake without reading what he said. but i still wouldn't have fell for it.... it also hints to me that they are getting usernames off wireplays usergroup, since thats the only group we have in common... though who knows how they are getting names etc.
just be careful of this happening though, and don't be fooled by it.
