This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hey all, Even though trading accounts on gamesurge is illegal and unacceptable, I must warn you that there is a scamming deal going on throughout the network! One of the main channels that are doing the scam is #teamicn. How to know if you are about to be scammed: The scammer from that channel would give you a fake email address for the steam userlogin, and a password that is VERY LONG and complex. An example that he has given out to many people that fell for the scam is: username: [EMAIL PROTECTED], password: h4ckth1s19992005l33ts4uc3 When he gives the password, he would require you to give yours the second after. While you are trying to input this long password, he will change your contact email and password therefore removing all access to your acount. Once he has finished, he will say that your password is incorrect, so that you try to login to the account using your own password. The first thing that would come to your mind is that you would think that you probably entered the wrong password, so the next thing you would do is to attempt to check for the retrieve passwords. This is where the hacker would get your email address and confirm that there is no trace of it within your accountand then say that you faked the deal and he would "end" the trade. If you still have your cd key, go log on to www.steampowered.com and hit support, and send a request saying that your steam account was stolen/hijacked. Include your cdkey and personal information such as your address and phone numbers. Valve will give your account back with the same username and steamid if you have your cd key to prove that the account is actually yours. Remember, Gamesurge will not help you, but just report to them that you were scammed by what ever channel.
