Find out more below:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>1. Payments Made By Steam Wallet Gift Cards<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment requests from random people asking for Steam wallet gift cards is clearly a scam. You can only use Steam wallet credit to purchase games and gaming-related items. This kind of Steam gift card scam is common on Instagram and Reddit. If you are trying to purchase a product online and are asked to pay by sharing Steam codes, run.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>2. Phishing Emails<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the common methods employed by online scammers. You may get emails informing you that you won a prize and click a link to claim it. The link will direct you to a look-alike Steam platform. Providing your login details to access the platform allows scammers to steal from you.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>3. Impersonating Steam or Government Officials<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of Steam gift card scam is always strategic, and if you are not carefu, youl might fall for it. Someone might contact you about mistakenly reporting your account, and there are things to do to keep your account active. They threaten that your Steam account will close down soon and then direct you to a Steam administrator. This same person will contact you as an administrator via another Steam account to request you provide your login details to help fix your account. Another strategy is to demand payment from you to resolve the issue. Stay guarded always!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>4. PayPal Invoices Scam<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This involves scammers reaching out and saying that you should purchase Steam cards and share the codes with them. They promise to issue a refund via your PayPal account and may offer to repay you in an amount higher than the gift card\u2019s value. Once you share the codes, that\u2019s it! They will sell the codes out or actually use them to redeem games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>5. Steam Gift Card Trade Scam<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you list certain items for sale on Steam and get requests to pay a higher price, there is a higher chance they plan to share fake codes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>6. Fake payments in exchange for gift card<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Someone can ask you to send them a gift card worth a particular amount and refund you by making a payment through a transfer. So, they\u2019ll first send you a fake cheque or receipt for payment. However, when it\u2019s time to cash the payment or withdraw, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s fake. This means they used you to get free Steam cards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>7. Love Scams<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are very common and targets are usually older people seeking companionship and open to long-distance relationships or vulnerable people like addicts and the abused. This is quite common and the scammer who works on gaining your trust first will tell you to send Steam codes as payment for something to keep the relationship going or to sponsor their transportation to your location. You\u2019ll keep up your end of the bargain without them fulfilling theirs, however, because you\u2019re already emotionally invested, it will be hard to pull out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the case of an elderly woman who<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/national\/crime\/124622292\/palmerston-north-woman-loses-30000-in-online-scam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lost almost $30,000 in Steam codes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to a man she had never met.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2>How To Report A Steam Gift Card Scam<\/h2>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1441 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/usenosh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bluegiftcard.jpg\" alt=\"Gift Card with Blue Bow and ribbons.\" width=\"612\" height=\"404\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 612px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 612\/404;\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing that you\u2019ve fallen victim to a Steam gift card scam can be disheartening. Thank goodness there are ways you could make reports now and possibly claim your funds back.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to contact Steam, whether by going to the retail store you got it from or making a phone call to customer support. If you return to the retail store, the customer service rep on duty can scan your card to confirm if it\u2019s eligible for a refund. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/usenosh.com\/blog\/check-steam-gift-card-activated\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activated Steam gift cards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that have not been redeemed are usually refunded in these cases.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.steampowered.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steam\u2019s support page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, provide details of the scam and you\u2019ll be instructed on how to proceed. But if you\u2019ve already provided the codes to the scammer, keep your gift card and purchase receipt and report it at any police station.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also inform the FTC at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/reportfraud.ftc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/reportfraud.ftc.gov\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or call their hotline at <\/span><b>1-877-FTC-HELP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and it will be circulated to law enforcement partners for proper investigation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on how soon you act, Steam can offer you a refund for the amount you lost and in some cases, the FTC helps in recovering money lost to gift card scams. However, no matter how long ago the scam happened, still file a report. There are no limitation periods for reporting digital gift card scams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Tips To Help You Avoid Falling Victim To Steam Gift Card Scams<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following tips will help you avoid Steam gift card scams:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoid purchasing Steam gift cards in bulk:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> buying only the ones you are ready to redeem now is highly recommended as you can track them better.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Only activate your Steam gift card when you are ready to redeem it:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ensure you are ready to use the gift cards before activating them.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don\u2019t give out your Steam codes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sharing your Steam codes with strangers means you are setting yourself up for scams.
