I think I've encountered another scam attempt. "I'd like to trade those items, please check the screenshot (http:vk.cc/3wQ623C)." Is that what you got from "Phatboy"? After accepting his friend request, he sent a message asking about it. Around 4:17 PM, MoonKnightSpidey replied with confusion. He asked why you sent him a friend request. At 10:07 AM, Phatboy said he wanted to trade items and included the same link. By 10:07 AM, Phatboy was offline. I replaced the URL with a fake one but kept it as a VKCC link. Someone might know if this isn't malicious—I'll open it using Tor.

When someone offers a link, simply disregard it.

It's not original, yet definitely a fraud.

If it's a virus, blocking it should prevent it from infecting your PC. If you decide to proceed, make sure to open the necessary steps.

It might infect you with a virus and take all your CS GO skins.

Do you think Tor stops viruses from entering? I’m trying to access it. xDD

Avoid taking friend requests from Steam accounts with level 0 and private settings. These are usually automated or spam accounts.
