I have a CSGO inventory worth over $40k.
They also do little for scamming and impersonation. People send me and I've even randomly come across profiles that have cloned my own name/picture/profile page in an attempt to scam people by impersonating me (using my inventory page to lure them in, hoping they won't notice the URL).
Virtually every friend I have met through CSGO that has skins has gotten scammed out of at least $100. Any time I give friends a knife to borrow or to have, they immediately get dozens of friend requests from scammers. The first time I gave a friend a knife it was stolen within two weeks by a fairly sophisticated scam.
- willis936 6y agoIt’s me! Your cousin! Got any spare butterfly knives?
- weird-eye-issue 6y agoSeveral! But not for you ;)
- willis936 6y agoI bought one for $90 a few years ago. It's truly wild how many video games I could buy if I sold it today. I'm not sure if I'll ever buy that many video games again in my life.
- noxvilleza 6y agoWasn't their 'solution' for this to eventually allow private inventories? Feel like at some point the number of scammers adding me dropped rapidly and I think it was for this.
- weird-eye-issue 6y agoThat helps a bit but actually it gives another way for the scammers to trick you. They have private inventories and give some BS reason for having it private. People that actually actively trade and invest never have private inventories because otherwise how would you trade? Also most other people don't set theirs to private either if they have anything nice because they want to show it off.
