Steam Account Hi-Jacked

well when someone offers you for your unusual in pure keys and for more then your asking for, you get alittle excited and rush through stuff hoping you can get to them as fast as possible!

That should have been your first clue. Just sayin.

Exactly. Who the hell wants to pay more than you're asking for, especially in pure? Don't rush in next time.
Well most people ask for pure when selling unusuals, I always do but very rarely get pure. But since the value of my unusual went up recwnty I figured he was just paying for the value, none of os this shit makes any sense now that I look back at it!
That should have been your first clue.

Well its easy for you too say now, I have learned my lesson and if I do get my account back (if), then next time I will be way more cautious. This is putting a lot of stress on me, plus Ive got school coming up, which helps the situation a lot! Lol

It's good you've learned your lesson, bud. And I wasn't trying to put you down, but like it has been said, you gotta pay more attention. I'm scared to think how many people have tried the same thing with Mattie. My rule of thumb when trading is expect an issue. That doesn't mean you should CAUSE an issue, but just be prepared for one. Be paranoid, though don't get crazy like me. I get suspicious when people are willing to buy at my price ._.

If I was in your situation (before you got hacked), as soon as I was offered more than it was worth, I would have taken screenshots. Just in case. And if they use the line, "Add this other account because I can't trade on this one." and a link, I'd take another screenshot of that. PrtScr is very handy for that.

Best of luck getting your stuff back, dude. =D

Thank you very much Cmp, well, going through all of this has given me some experience in trading, and what I should look out for next time! I am hoping to get all my stuff back, but the chances of that are at a minimum, but we all make mistakes and atleast this wasn't a real world mistake that could have put me into any physical harm.
Well I guess sometimes you just have to learn the hard way!
I have just one last question.........

What can Steam Support do for me anyway? I mean can they just change the password, and magically poof all the items back into the account? It doesnt see so but I guess anythings possible!

Stay safe Cmp and all the other Steam Users out there! I will keep you guys posted about what will be going on with my account and what Steam Support will do for me!


Thanks,
Happy Sticks #Hi-Jacked

P.S. Dont click on any link that say www.steamcornmunity on TF2 Outpost or anywhere!

Please stop repeating what people say its useless
Getting a high postcount (which I think ur trying to do) is pointless and doesn't matter
Just makes more spam

On topic: If u can get the person marked as a scammer& report the site(If possible) that would be good too:)

If your talking to me about spamming then I am kind of confused, and if your talking to Rage then I would agree about the useless posting as I did the same when I first joined.....but anyway back on topic!

I am pretty sure that my account will be banned and I am sure that his original account will be banned also, it's just a matter of time! How would I report the site? I don't remember the exact URL of it either......

At 48 posts in 6 months, that's ~1 post every 4 days.

Yeah, I think he's trying to get a high postcount too.

So does anyone know when Steam Support might contact me back? You would think that if someones account that got hi-jacked had a credit card number already in it or something then they would maybe respond back sooner then later!

Sorry guys, I was angry that day, took it out on you guys.

Mizzterrr I agree, my posts can be annoying, heh. However these posts have the only ones that have been rude, due to me being angry. Sorry about that.

Gatherix I wasn't posting for the intention of having a "higher post count". I was trying to add to discussion, which obviously didn't work because I just stated what Cmp said. As for the lower post count, I'm just trying to be more of an active member of the community because lately I've been at other forums. Sorry you felt that way.

jstnmason99 Heh, funny seeing as that my account is older than yours, I shouldn't be posting spam like that.

I'm just going to move on from this and learn from this experience, back on topic.

Steam Support replies usually 5-7 days after you put in your ticket, from my experience. I genuinely hope that you get your account back, not only for all your items, but because your credit card number is on there as well. Dangerous! Hope you learned from the experience and won't do the mistake again.

Just don't worry about it Rage!
:knowfeel:

I have a lot of proof down in Steam Support right now!

After reading about other people being hi-jacked, I don't feel as worried as I was becuase most people got their account back and got all the items they lost! The only thing is, the items will become "duped" meaning that there will be 2 of the exact same items in the world! But yes, I hope I do get my items back, and I am thinking about giving them away on the Darkly Servers. I really want to give back to the servers!

I though my post was dripping with sarcasm, apparently it wasn't enough. To clarify, I was disagreeing with Mizzterrr in a sarcastic and somewhat rude way (sorry Mizzterrr, it was fun); I don't think you're 'spamming' at all.

Thought he was spamming cause it's been happening a lot lately with new members:)

Heh. I extremely over looked that lol. Usually good at that kind of stuff.

Well, heh, funny that is. In fact, my account here is older than yours. lol

Well, I think we probably should stop talking about this and get back on topic for once...

I see Rage quoted a lot in this thread, but I do not see any of his original posts except in the last 4 hours. Is this on my end or were they edited out?

I deleted them. You can still probably read them from quotes. Nothing to be proud of however.
