    • There is NO SUCH THING as "item verification". Anyone who tells you to do this is lying and trying to scam you!

    I've moved this to the GF section - now why do you ask this? There is no such thing as "Verifying Items" Did someone ask you to do this and who was it?

    Anybody asking to verifying your items by whatever excuse they came up with to trade it to anyone or install a plugin or w/e: it is a SCAMMER.

    They can perfectly fine "verify" that the item is inside your backpack on steam without your aid (as long as your steam profile is set to public).

    anything else: don't believe them.

    Examples of excuses:
    - Trading it to a (personal?) friend of yours (who is probably even less trade aware) and they impersonate your friend to you, or you to your friend to try to get you or the friend to trade the item to them.
    - installing a browser plugin in order for a website to "verify" the item. End result: your account hijacked.

    Remember: Valve does NOT give back items you lost due scamming, hijacking, or w/e.

    Ok, I'm just going to lock this thread so nobody else gets confused and scammed by requesting this "service" from what they believe to be our volunteers.

    To anyone else reading this, about to try replying and requesting our "service":
    And with that, **thread locked**.
