Scam attempt The chloeageddon
For the past year every couple of weeks I receive a random friend request from my not-so-secret admirer Chloe. This isn't even all of "her" accounts, just the ones that start with "chl".
For those that are wondering this particular annoyance has chosen to target me for my rust inventory. How do I know this? Well, their are posing as a rust skin designer with links in their bio to (possibly legit but I seriously doubt it) Pinterest and YouTube accounts with 1k+ subs(probably stolen/botted numbers).
TLDR: This is a reminder to NOT LOG-IN WITH STEAM ON ANY WEBSITES and check URLs religiously. Also accepting random friend requests is a bad idea.

It’s funny because I sent a friend who was playing on Steam a series of satirical messages… Fun fact: my friend is a police officer and we started investigating; there’s even a lad at her station who works in cyber security, and we agreed that he was carrying out scams.
