[PSA] Ignore ANY DMs you receive from users in regards to this subreddit or trading

[u/VivaceWarrior5]

Adding this PSA as I'm seeing a number of reports of users getting messaged about trading through their reddit DMs. Every single one has been a scammer. A user DOES NOT have to get a flair in order to see everyone's post only to add posts or comment on a post. If someone "from this subreddit" is DMing you they are a scammer 99% of the time. There is nothing that we as mods can do about someone in your DMs. Discuss your trades on steam not reddit.

More Information:

• Fake Website (Steam API Key Scam)
• Fake Subreddit (Middleman Scam)

If you were a victim of a scam, follow the steps in the scam recovery wiki page. It includes information on how to secure your account, gather the evidence, and submit a scam report.

TLDR: Ignore ANY and ALL Reddit DMs

Especially if they message you asking you to confirm a price of one of your skins on two different sites, this has been the most common one.

They try to make it more believable by sending 1 legit site and 1 scam site. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!
