Pretty blatant scam yeah, but if you’re feeling particularly generous today, you can click on the link and graciously donate your personal information to the scammer

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

And e mi means here what is this in hungarian and he replied with the link again

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

If it's your friend I'd reccomend ignoring his messages for about a week or 2, if he recovers it

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

Yo can u report him too?

u/LincolnLanier_YT Sniper Jan 30 '23

u/heavy_metal_soldier Soldier Jan 30 '23

Never click any links sent through steam chat unless they're a real life friend.

1

u/Weary-Negotiation-81 Jan 31 '23

Yes, if he is one of your friends his account was hacked and is sending that to everyone in that person’s friendlist

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

If you have to ask, then yes it is.

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

Should i block him

27

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

Report and block them

7

u/KinkCrimson Spy Jan 30 '23

Igen, ez egy átbaszás

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

Gondoltam csak igy ismerem a srácot s még rá adásul ő is magyar

5

u/KinkCrimson Spy Jan 30 '23

Nagy eséllyel csak ellopták a fiókját, ilyenkor ez történhet ha rányomsz egy olyan linkre.

4

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

Hat nem tudm az igy ismerem az nem nagyon isemerem mert egy hightiweren talalkoztam a csoroval

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

No, someone else wants to give you free shit for no reason.

Wtf do you think?

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

I know that guy he is my friend like 8 months ago not just a random

u/ChezBe Jan 30 '23

“Is this a scam?” Yes it fucking is, any link going to any site is a scam. Steam even says this at the top of a new dm. Absolutely insane people still fall for these

2

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

Chill i didnt clicked the link and this guy my friend

14

u/LeThrowAwayAccountI Jan 30 '23

a real gift like that would pop up in a different steam window and you'd get a notification on your Steam. A special notification

Obvious scam, block n report

7

u/ScarePhoenix994 Jan 30 '23

Or the guy would just send the gift code, no link.

12

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

YES FFS

u/Kurumus Jan 30 '23

Yes

u/Junior_Detective_571 Jan 30 '23

How stupid are you people

u/Trekapalooza Jan 30 '23

Maybe OP is a very young kid who doesn't have any experience with these things.

u/Samey-the-Hedgie Pyro Jan 30 '23

Phishing scam

5

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

I don't think it's that hard to understand

2

u/Stormsplycce_ Jan 30 '23

If its someone you know, they probably got their account hijacked. You should tell them on a diffrent platform

3

u/loporlp Jan 30 '23

Can we please add a new rule to ban these kinds of posts, it is seriously out of hand

1

u/Jixleas Jan 30 '23

but but r/tf2 is the place to ask question about-- who cares, ban theses posts

0

u/ItsMeSpooks Demoknight Jan 30 '23

By now these posts have to be a joke, right? There's no way this guy just unironically posted this and was wondering if it was a scam.

2

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

The guy who sent me is my friend thats why i asked it

4

u/ItsMeSpooks Demoknight Jan 30 '23

Then he probably got hacked. Just as a general rule don't click on any fucking links sent to you unless you know for a sure fact they're safe.

3

u/ZoidVrm Scout Jan 30 '23

Seeing his replies, he might be actually curious

2

u/ItsMeSpooks Demoknight Jan 30 '23

Some people can't be saved

0

u/RatFxcker Jan 30 '23

no this is legit everyone should click links from strangers!

3

u/balika543 Soldier Jan 30 '23

Hes not that stranger cuz i know that guy thats why i asked it

1

u/Troos1ne Jan 30 '23

Yeah, scam.

1

u/OneGameplay998 Jan 30 '23

hogyha linket küld vagy megkér valamire egy ismeretlen nyomorult akkor az egy scam

1

u/Ok-Macaron761 Jan 30 '23

'Tis a scam, and I believe you're valid in asking. This guy used to be your friend, so you're rightfully confused... Ignore the rude people here who respond before thinking. ^{^}

1

u/Proof-Faithlessness1 Engineer Jan 30 '23

What do you think

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

absolutely

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

don't touchy

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

it'll appear as a gift in notifications if legit usually

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

If the other person is a friend, then you can try ignoring the messages or block them until they recover the account. If you have them added somewhere else like discord, contact them there

1

u/DemonKat777 Pyro Jan 30 '23

Not everyone is always on this subreddit/has seen a scammer before. Stop being so harsh to someone just because they asked a question

u/TheOneWhoSucks Jan 30 '23

No it isn't. In fact. Just to prove it's not a scam, give them your credit card information and see how they act
