As a follow up to yesterday’s video regarding the Steam Game “Abstractism” and it’s coming packaged with a virus that was believed to be a Monero Crypto Miner and vector for item scamming, we have seen more evidence of additional item scamming from Team Fortress 2 and DOTA 2. One of the scammed items even managed to duplicate the TF2 game on the item. Valve has removed both of the scam games and their items today.
