There's some false informations in here. Valve made changes, now every account that either changes its profile picture or nickname can't trade with anyone for several hours. So they can't copy an identity as fast as before.

Not sure what to say here, i dont know how effective that update was, this scam still happens. Maybe they use some workaround, but this happened as i presented it in the video. Flagging it as false information because valve supposedly made changes is not very constructive

@@TechsavvyScientist well the rest is right. My bad I was maybe too harsh. Just wanted to say that they can't impersonate as easily as before. So that might not be something that people should take fear as much as they used to. I'm pretty sure you can find the update in the last 10 updates from valve iirc.

It looks more like he joined an "tournament" scam. for example if he says that he never clicked on links and joined sites. And that they had hold of his account at early may. Pretty sure he joined a fake tournament in hope to win some cash. And tried to join there server and downloaded everything needed to his pc so that they could get a hold of every account and everything on it. Sadly a common scam nowdays, and its better to just never accept random friend requests.

i been api scammed last knife unbox my first knife last night and was 125 pound traded my mate last night a 9p d and m gun then gave him my nightwish and brightwater knife and sent him it but he didnt get the trade and then it says 'you traded with . ' and what i dont get is that valve and steam made so many 2 step and that and yet still get hacked it doesnt make sense also im new to csgo aswell idk anything about cheat how to look for them and shit but me and my mate was playing casual and suddenly i got kicked thought it was being voted off but my mate said ' oh naughty naughty tom using cheats' i was like oh okay why did i get vac banned for only thing i downloaded for csgo was face it so i was confused on that so i restarted my pc and then i could go into games and that then i done that trade to se if im vac banned hence the 9p d and m gun so that went though as normal and then i said i dont want to lose my stuff so i then traded him the same way i traded him the first time and i said did you acepted the trade offer he said what trade offer then checked and thats what i was explaining at the top so i reckon the reason why i got vac banned for 5 mins was cos someone api hacked me its the only reasonable thing really
