Hey guys. The other night, me and my buddies were playing some Gary's Mod, Trouble in Terrorist Town. After finishing the evening of gaming at an ungodly hour, we were all added on Steam by a user going by the name of ******AdminVAC. As you doubtless know, Steam blocks out the word "steam" in usernames replacing them with asterisks. The "VAC Admin" first approached my friend with "******AdminVAC: [Hello. I am writing to tell you that that your profile has been noticed much activity ie you were spotted cheats or unauthorized software, but we do not have 100% guarantee that you actually have cheats Avoid indexer and blocking of your account, we ask you have disabled Steam Guard and write below your username and password in a strictly defined form: Username: ...... Password: ...... If you do not do your account will be permanently Blocked" To which the general reaction was "lolwhut" What follows is a wall of text consisting of what can only be described as hacker baiting and abuse. At some point during the attempted scammers conversation with one of my friends, we ascertained he was Russian. Note here that I have the deepest respect for the Russian people and their beautiful country, their cultural richness and their flowing tapestry of history. Neither is any disrespect meant to the Jewish faith, or to homosexuals. If you belong to one of the groups I have mentioned above, I would advise you to leave now if you are easily offended. Any insults directed at this criminal were purely inflammatory in an attempt to get him to shed his poorly constructed disguise and engage me in a mutual hurling of abuse and obscenities and assorted vulgarities at one another, and do not represent my actual views. At the same time, my friends were also engaged in similar conversations with this guy. I have incorporated one of my friend's historical pars into the transcript. To protect identities I have used the tags of "Le me" for myself and "le friend" for my friend; namely because I could think of nothing else. Don't judge me. __________________________________________________________________ Le me: Hello there. Nice title you have. Fancy and official huh? Le me: What seems to be the problem administrator? ******AdminVAC: yes ******AdminVAC: [Hello. I am writing to tell you that that your profile has been noticed much activity ie you were spotted cheats or unauthorized software, but we do not have 100% guarantee that you actually have cheats Avoid indexer and blocking of your account, we ask you have disabled Steam Guard and write below your username and password in a strictly defined form: Username: ...... Password: ...... If you do not do your account will be permanently Blocked Le me: I was spotted cheats? Le me: What does this mean? ******AdminVAC: you should write your username and password from your account, I will check it and if not obnoruzhu cheats you can continue to play Le me: obnoruzhu?? Le me: Is that a gaming term? ******AdminVAC: No I was wrong I wanted to say I will note Le me: In that case, my username is XanderB312 and my password is get the fuck out you Communist bastard Le me: trying to Jew up my password and username ******AdminVAC: I am a member of the Russian company's VAC and my duty to check the accounts to cheat so please tell me the login and password, and I go, I have a lot to do Le me: Soeka Le me: I bet you have a lot to do Le me: Sucking dicks, probably ******AdminVAC: You understand that these are the screenshots of those will go to support and you are banned forever Le me: Really? Then how am I still talking? Le me: A real admin wouldn't have to add me as a friend on Steam to be able to send me messages. Nor does Valve moderate cheaing amongst its client base. ******AdminVAC: with these screenshots you banned for 3 days Le me: I can see why Hitler tried to kill all the Russians if they're all Communist fucks like you ******AdminVAC: you hear a monster fucking sit in her little pussy and pussy bitch you bastards ebannaya you bitch you are punished with shovels, I fucked your mother a bitch vcheera Le me: Cocksucker. ******AdminVAC: suchara you if we will attack you as you're standing on your knees and suck you do queers fucking their husbands will fuck you bitch suchara mudaeby you to put your fuck hitler and fuck pedrily Le me: Nice Cold War you dumb Communist fuck. Le me: Trying to scam the Russian people into buying into the idea of buying into a totalitarian state, and a couple decades on you're trying to scam Steam passwords. Le me: You are a hero of the Soviet Union, my friend. ******AdminVAC: Listen here you bastard Hitler you did, I'll suck but I'll put you to fuck, we fuck Hitler wiped out in a powder and forced to suck and you're what? only know how to suck and bitch Le me: Russia knows a hell of a lot more about bitching and sucking than any country I claim acnestry of. Le me: *ancestry. Apologies for my poor grammar. It's a shame you don't reciprocate in kind. ******AdminVAC you're a whore mouth shut and say you will when you will make sucking fucking fagot huylo ubanny you're a whore to suck his mother will freak Russia knows a hell of a lot more about bitching and sucking than any country I claim acnestry of. Le me: You shut your whore mouth you Russian bastard. Stop trying to Jew up me and my friend, you illiterate, uneducated swine. Le me: That said, there's no need for homophobia. Le friend (in response to a comment about the English only knowing how to kneel and suck? and only knowing English as a language?): i dont remember "kneeling" to the spanish when they attacked us with the greatest armada the world had ever seen all those years ago. Le friend: i dont remember kneeling to the french during the napoleonic wars at waterloo Le friend: i dont remember kneeling to the germans during the second war during the battle of britain Le friend: in fact Le friend: in 2066 Le friend: it will be 1000 years since an army successfully landed on the shores of britain Le me (in response to a comment about the English only knowing how to kneel and suck? and only knowing English as a language?): XanderB312: I'm not English. Le me (in response to a comment about the English only knowing how to kneel and suck? and only knowing English as a language?): And even if I was, if a "fucking same neumeel Englishman" can speak more than his own language, why can't you, you leelijke eeverzwijn. ******AdminVAC: you Jew? Le me: Dutch. Le me: Do I sound like a Jew, goyim? ******AdminVAC: you bitch get a word in Russian freak you understand? or you are ignorant pedeka and taught only to suck? ******AdminVAC: .evreioni are funny they fucking beard, hat and go as a dick in black shit Le me: I understand some Russian. Even if I didn't, I would realise that most of what you are saying is highly unpleasant. However, it appears that the nuances of the English language are lost on you, as you appreciate neither the torrent of insults I have hurled at you, nor irony, nor sarcasm. Le me: And now you're insulting Jews. That's a shame, those people have probably had enough. ******AdminVAC: fuck you in the classroom so that queers are taught how to suck? you whores do at least some sort of language you know pedrily accidents Le me: Russian classrooms all sound highly irregular. Le me: It appears you have been violated repeatedly by this "pedrily". I assume that must be the source of your deep-seated bile and hatred. ******AdminVAC: it means you're an asshole fagot bitch Le me: What's a faggot bitch? I am curious. ******AdminVAC is now Offline.

[B]Scammer: Hello, I'm going to need your password and credit card information. Me: No.[/B] It was so obvious.
Once a church asked me for a donation. Pfft, who falls for that stuff.

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;37038050]I was told I was the millionth visitor to the site and won an ipod,need I say more?[/QUOTE] did you claim it? you idiot that was the chance of a lifetime!
[sp]Le[/sp]me. Oh god. Anyway, most phishers I try to take advantage of aren't gullible or they just are mute.
Some gimmick account on steam called "S t e a m a n a g e r" or something, he said "HELLO VALVE CORP SUPPORT TEAM HERE GIVE PASSWORD AND USERNAME IMMEDIATELY TO BOOST ACCOUNT SECURITY, WE WILL ALSO REWARD YOU WITH A FREE GAME OF YOUR CHOICE" Instantly blocked and removed from friends.
I don't tend to save the conversations, but I do have one story. My friend had his Diablo 3 account stolen when he was trying to trade for some TF2 items (bad move on his part), and when the D3 account info was passed along the scammer said "thanks" and removed him. The scammer obviously isn't too smart -- he keeps his profile as "Friends Only" but will accept anyone. I added him, found out he's pretty easy to fool, and redirected him to a "compromised" site. Needless to say he didn't have a good day.
[QUOTE=Zoran;37038632][sp]Le[/sp]me. Oh god. [/QUOTE] Apologies, I'm new to facepunch and wasn't aware of this sites aversion to any terminology utilised by rageface memes. You are clearly a community comprising the higher brow members of society. I shall endeavour to ensure any future posts are in the Queens English. Is this acceptable? If I have offended you in any way, I apologise profusely.
