And if you sell these cards, please be alert and aware. It's highly likely none of us will fall for it, but please educate your friends, especially those newer to Steam. In this month we've had at least over 30 incidents. I've managed to get a glimpse of the message one of the customers received and it talks about winning some prize that must be claimed by buying $500 worth of Steam Gift Cards. Customers are increasingly being called by hackers and forced to buy Steam gift cards in order to pay off debts, post bail, pay. We've tried to impose a limit but they've taken to buying the cards at different times, hoping to meet another staff member. They all act suspicious, although able to have a conversation, all of them are adamant at buying the cards.
That’s up about 80 from the reports the FTC got in 2020. Majority of the customers are over 40, either a parent or an older relative. People reported a record 547 million in losses to romance scams in 2021. It initially started with iTunes, but then flipped to Steam. I'm currently working in retail, and the past month we have been seeing a rise in people coming in to buy multiple $100 Gift Cards. The target is asked to purchase the gift cards most commonly Google Play, Steam Wallet, Amazon, Apple iTunes or Walmart cards then to send the codes to the attacker by email.
Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to do this but I need to raise awareness to a rise in scams involving physical Steam Gift Cards.
