1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    Browsing around reddit I stumbed upon this /dota_2_makes_me_cry_help_me_pls/

    At first I felt really bad him. (when will I ever learn) I sent him a private message and all. I then read comments to get a different perspective when I notice the following:

    Phantoful[S] 6 points 10 hours ago


    • Thought you'd been playing dota for less than 6 months?
    That and the supposed degree from MIT no less got me extremely curious. Furthermore, the OP's name is very unusual so I figured I'd go and have a looksie see if I could find him on steam. I google the name and find an old discarded scammer profile. http://steamrep.com/search?q=http://steamcommunity.com/id/Phantoful

    I go to the profile and look at his comments. Usually good friends post there and I figured he'd readd them in hisa new profile. I notice a comment by [IL.C][Frakun] and figure this guy gots to have him. I browse his profile and I look at his friends. And staring me in the face I find this http://steamcommunity.com/id/blauwurst.

    The same name, city, avatar and friends. I go digging around his friends and I find http://steamcommunity.com/id/CrazyWolfJ A location extremely near phantoful, friends of the old scammer profile and similar groups and ways of saying things. If not him, a very close buddy.

    I also reported phantoful to steam as a suspected alt of a cheater (vac ban). And the lesson for today is don't believe everything you see on the internet.
