Steam Account stealer gets pwnt

[Mercy]

lmao the retard of the year

As much as I would love to believe these hilarious IM logs, I think most of them are fake.

 

 

That's because they are.

I am inclined to agree with Red here. The both of them are guilty of a federal crime if that is a real log. Phishing someone's information under federal laws is essentially dealing with fraud across state lines, misrepresentation, and theft. While we cannot stop some dumb, bushwacking Nigerian 409 scam because of extradition issues, no such issues arise in Indiana, Illinois, etc. I'm not sure if someone with any common sense would risk themselves by doing something like that and then publicizing it.

 

Just my three cents.

He blanked the values so maybe that is enough to stop anything happening to him, plus there is no evidence of his account or ip or anything.

 

 

Still this is funny, its happened to me atleast 10 times.

 

First happened in Runescape where these two people tried to use a ploy to get me.

 

One was called "JagexMod_James" and the other was someone with a random name....

 

The first one is nowhere near me on the map, and he messages me saying that I may have been hacked. I was quite young and I didn't instantly know and as it went along he told me that if I am unsure I should talk to this guy who is near me because the same thing happened to him. It was funny because he was trying to be formal and the guy said "Believe him I almost got hacked and lost all my stuff! But after I gave him my password I was ok" and well it ended in me giving them a fake password and later on they come back angry it was lulz.

 

 

Also happened on Steam and well it is was just fail. He said he was Valve staff but whenever I asked him to prove it he couldn't.

Blanking the values still deprives the other person of the property, hence theft. Using the identity or color of authority of another fraudulently, misrepresentation. Whether he will be caught, or any one care is irrelevant in this case. Im just saying it is a serious problem for him should he get caught.

Consider that the person he robbed tried to robbed him.

 

Two wrongs don't make a right but think how many things like this get left?

 

There are thousands of pirate sites selling or giving away things illegally (mininova anyone?)

 

Also consider that this other person was attempting to do the same thing.

 

Steam already get enough money by banning people on site for using hacks (which is what I assume is the reason, caught once and you have to pay them another £10, or more if you have several games on one account).

 

They are unlikely to care.

 

But I don't really know about if it would go higher than that. Seeing as the person who has been "robbed" was trying to do the same thing its unlikely that they would try and call the police or something.....ALSO who else would report this??? I'm sure people see the funny side of a failed con being conned.
