Start/run/cmd type Tracert and then my IP address and hit enter.

Greg_ValveOLS says:

br0kenrabbit says:
As an employee, I know that Valve employees will NEVER contact users over MSN. I also know a valve employee will NEVER ask a user for his/her username and password.

br0kenrabbit says:
I'm putting a temporary hold on your Steam account.

Greg_ValveOLS says:
why?

br0kenrabbit says:
Have you read the ToS?

Greg_ValveOLS says:
Tod?

Greg_ValveOLS says:

br0kenrabbit says:
Greg, this is a serious infraction against the Tos. You are at risk of losing your account.

Greg_ValveOLS says:
why

br0kenrabbit says:
I just told you why

Greg_ValveOLS says:
:(

br0kenrabbit says:
I need some information from you if you want me to unlock you account. I'm going to write you up but I will only suspend you account for three days, since this is your first infraction, okay?

Greg_ValveOLS says:
k

br0kenrabbit says:
First, what is the name the account is registered to. Not the user name, the persons real name who created the account. This is for verification purposes.

Greg_ValveOLS says:
xxxxx xxxxxxx

Yeah, he was just counting on the fact that if he told him how to do a tracert the kid would assume he was legit.

That was awesome.

Nice.

Wow, that's awesome. Now if only there was a way that anyone that stupid could be automatically sterilized for life; it'd surely improve the average intelligence of the human race in the long run.

Why the hell was the kid trying to steal someone's Steam account anyways, if he already had one? I can't imagine they'd have particularily good resale value.

Anyways this story is like the definition of :downs:

And then :saddowns:

Either he was bankng on the account having more games on it, or a credit card on account that he could use to buy more games for himself maybe?
Pissed Off?

I guess. Still :downs: though.

He probably wanted to use it to hack on CS servers or something.
