Got a rando nonfriend that messaged me on Steam about if I had just purchased a very expensive cosmetic item for the game Rust. He showed a screenshot of his marketplace sales history and everything! I do not play the game Rust, and immediately verified that I didn't have the transaction in my history.

It took a minute for the scam to develop, but our nonfriend MoneyTrees got to the hook quickly enough: For some reason now I "took" his item (that he listed for sale) so he reported me to Steam. And three hours ago, Steam Support responded with their plans for moderation: a 24-hour ban and full suspension! This is serious!

Obviously I've heard nothing, because Dorktrees means to have me log in somewhere else to jack my account. But I'm not that concerned about it; I won't be using Steam very soon.

I probably overplayed my hand, since I haven't heard from ScamyTrees since. Oh well.
