JackieChan April 16, 2008 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 16, 2008 That was a very pathetic attempt at whatever they were trying to do. They didn't even seem professional either. I would've went along with it for a while and played dumb the whole time just to irritate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC April 17, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member April 17, 2008 (edited) We all know it wouldn't take four Valve employees to check someones account for suspicious files. It would take six or seven and they would end up doing it wrong. Edited April 17, 2008 by VooDooPC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher April 17, 2008 Share Preacher Member April 17, 2008 And they would say it would be done in a few minutes while in fact you would be stuck in their scan till the middle of 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo April 17, 2008 Share anonymo Member April 17, 2008 That's a good one. Hope you posted it on the Steam forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoner April 17, 2008 Share Demoner Member April 17, 2008 (edited) definitely post it up on steam forums and i'd recommend reporting them too if not already done so who honestly would think pulling off a stunt like that would work? I mean afterall aren't people like them messing with computer nerds (generally speaking)? Edited April 17, 2008 by Demoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmerisme April 17, 2008 Share farmerisme Member April 17, 2008 Thing is this probably does work. Not often, and not on anyone with any sort of common internet sense... but probably does work. Same people that give their SSN or bank account info on phishing schemes. If it didn't work occasionally, they wouldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringadon April 21, 2008 Share Ringadon Member April 21, 2008 If it had been me I'd have given them some erroneous info and had a little fun. Just to see how long they'd keep up the charade. Good times none the less. Ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
