Kids, take example and play it straight!

Teens nowadays, instead of getting a part-time job or asking their parents for money in order for them to get a Steam account, try to steal. That's not nice! A what seems to be not a very smart lad tried to swindle some other lad out of his Steam account on MSN.

He created an MSN account and named it Greg_ValveOLS (as if he worked for Valve) and approached br0kenrabbit and tried to convince him to give up his Steam account details. The whole conversation is posted on the futuremark.com's forum and is quite hilarious.

The so-called Valve employee told br0kenrabbit, the one who he was trying to swindle that, that he had logged-in from multiple IPs and if he wants to keep his account, he needs to verify it and he needs to know his account information. Br0kenrabbit quickly caught on and decided to play a trick on the Valve fake. He went along with Greg_ValveOLS' blabbering about account verification for a while, and then told him he-br0kenrabbit that is- in fact works for Valve. He asked Greg_ValveOLS to trace his IP as to convince himself that he works for Valve.

After that, br0kenrabbit said to Greg_ValveOLS that he, being a Valve employee, will put his Steam account on hold. He asked for Greg_ValveOLS's account information, and the fool gave it up. Turns out that Greg_ValveOLS lost his account to br0kenrabbit, and he got was he deserved if you ask me.

In the end, Greg_ValveOLS admitted that he was only 13 and he saved up almost a year to buy that Steam account. Tough luck for him then, that should teach him to play it straight from now on.
