  3. Paste it to:

• Fake Steam Reputation Site
These group of people copied Steamtrades and made their own version of the site. And gave themselves fake positive reps to give you false sense of security.

They will also use their fake site to give bad rep to trusted traders and other scammers that are not in their circle.

2. Spotting A Fake Facebook Group:
Same as spotting a fake steam group. If you scroll down under the panel "About This Group" you can see the members of the group. You can hover your mouse to check the profile of its members, almost everyone is from the same city.

Conclusion:
  • Same private group
  • Same "Group Rules"
  • Same boosted group used by scammers to trick you.
• Fake Facebook Trading Group
The title says it all. They pretend to be an admin of a very obvious boosted facebook trading group.

@Turtle you have no proof that they are fit in this guide. noted but deleted. once you have proofs that they use one of the methods mentioned above then they will be added right away just like the last time you requested a scammer to be added in this guide which was done already. thank you

exposing someone = shaming others? wtf are you smoking bro? do you have dead braincells cooking up in your head?
CJ HUNTER 23 Dec, 2020 @ 3:46pm 
Why not just let natural selection do its thing ? Why shaming others because some people ar too dumb to educate themselves ?
