Watch Out for the Latest Steam Scam Targeting Gamers

New Scam Alert on Steam

Players have recently been falling victim to a new scam on Steam, the leading online gaming platform for PC gamers. This scam has already affected thousands of users and it's important to be aware of the warning signs.

How the Scam Works

The scam involves scammers stealing assets from popular games already available on Steam and creating fake store pages. They replicate everything from the game's name to the developer and publisher information to make it look like the real deal. Currently, scammers are targeting games like Helldivers 2, a top-selling release.

Spotting the Fake Games

One way to identify these fake games is by the deep discounts they offer. While Steam is actively working to remove these fraudulent listings, users should remain cautious and double-check before making any purchases.

Protecting Yourself

If you suspect you've bought a fake game, Steam offers a straightforward refund process. Simply visit Steam's help page, select the game in question, and provide a reason for the refund request. Stay vigilant and remember to only purchase games from trusted sources.
