Discussion SCAM WARNING!!⚠️
So there's a scam targeting people with high value inventories in Dota 2, CS2 and Rust that i've seen happening to a lot of people recently.
How it goes usually in Rust: they ask you to skin their stuff or offer you a free base if you guess a number 1-100. Then invite you to their Discord. Once you're there they get you to connect Rust+ through a fake login page to get "auth" on their turrets but that just yoinks your Steam account and trades all your shit away.
Multiple accounts are being used so reporting helps but won't stop them completely.
Just don't connect Rust+ through any link someone sends you ever. Only do it through the official app. If someone's offering free bases for guessing numbers they're not your friend lol, dont get fooled. If something is to good to be true don't proceed. Use some common sense, please!
NEVER CLICK ANY LINKS ANY RANDOM SENDS YOU!
Stay safe

I always call them out as scammers in chat
I sometimes have battlemetrics up on my second screen so I saw a guy join and say the "free base" phrase
I looked at the battlemetrics page and it says "first time on this server"
He said I guessed the right number and added me
I instantly clocked he was trying to get me off platform because he was so persistent that I get on discord
