PSA: Beware of scammers!

9 Sep, 2013 @ 4:16pm - Ovenmitt
Just wanted to warn you guys about some scamming going on. I've received reports that people are doing it through the Reddit Bronies group.

There are some gigantic asswipes going around impersonating people's friends and asking them to "borrow" valuable items in games like Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2. Then they vanish along with the items. If one of your friends suddenly asks you to borrow some items, make damn sure they're your actual friend and not some idiot scamming poser.

If your profile still has the default security settings, people can still message you without being on your friend's list by joining a group that you're in. If you only want to see messages from friends, you can set your profile to private. Then, only friends can message you.

Keep your items safe, guys!

<3,
Ovenmitt

Thanks for the advice, but I think I am smart enought to recongnize a scammer.

By the way, can I have all you left shoes?

...why lend items?

@Wall

It would be even sillier of me to not respond. Would you rather I just be silent while people are reporting scamming going on in a group that I administrate?

Pretty much be warry of anything with TF2 of DOTA2 trading. If it seems suspiscious at all, just get out of there.
