They are even on the Steam's admin team website.

Now I feel like an idiot for falling for a very clever trick.

that is the most typical scam possible on steam and discord and oh my god I can't believe someone on this earth actually fell for it.

sorry I guess but jesus christ. you can even google these kinds of things if you have second thoughts.

in case you still don't know this, there is no universe where a legitimate representative of any company whatsoever will ever ask for your password - because they already know it.

I've honestly never encountered a single, legitimate company that didn't stress the fact that a representative will never ask for your password.

Everyone slips up, somewhere and somehow. Heck, about ten years ago I gave my WoW info to a scammer and was only alerted to it by a buddy of mine spotting me online and hanging around the Stormwind bank, which was unusual because I had no way to access the game and hadn't played for almost a year at that point.

Once again, it was a very convincing setup- I don't remember much other than a well-replicated Battle.net page.

Or maybe try having some empathy, that might work better. I don't think piling more guilt on Guyver is going to help, but that's just my thinking.

Considering that I rarely use my Steam account, I was totally unaware that the whole thing was a scam. I just had Bank of America block my account and send me a new card in the mail.

Good on you for reacting so quickly.

Having seen Pocket Monsters Jhoto Journeys (US Dub) on Boomerang I'm watching all 4 series of Ruby / Sapphire on DVD this fall. I may need to watch the last 2 disks of Master Quest. Also watching Indigo as they started with Orange Islands.

Friends I might be going close to all in on saber merch! I at least want all the swords and the main/big wonderride books.

Oh man, I don't know the average price, but I do know that collectable items can get expensive quick. RIP your wallet
