NEW KIND OF SCAM MAYBE ???
I just met some kind of new scamming technique, and I just want to warn you guys all about it 
I wasn't tricked because I realized it fast after a few second, but you guys should know about it. Here it is : some dude added me just a few seconds after I posted my trade with DC hook on dota2lounge. After I accept he immediately went offline (maybe trying to let me forget about him). About 10 mins later my friend (close friend) messaged me and invite me to his party. Everything went ok, but then he asked me to give him my DC hook. He said he wants to borrow it for a few games. But his language was very bad ( We are both from Vietnam, but his vietnamese is suck). I wondered myself for a while "WTF???" and then I look again at my friend list. Then I realized my friend is still offline WTF ???? you guys realized it too, eh ? The scammer will try to fake 1 of your offline friends, try to be friendly and ask for your items. He will change his avatar and name just the same as your friend to trick you. This kind of scam I think is a new one, so be careful guys, for your own safety 
here are some tips to help you identify the scammers: 1. He will try to speak your language in order to ensure his scam work, but his language will be pretty much bad because he use google translation of course, and google translation is suck 
so if you dont know what your friend is saying, check your friendlist again, simple ! 2. If your friend is asking you for your items, just check your friendlist (again) to make sure that it is him, and then do whatever you want, I dont care :rofl: 3. Well i think the 2 tips above is enough, but if you need to make sure then just check your friends profile, the scammer i met have a private profile lol XD thats it, if you guys have anything you want to say then comment here, ty, and BE CAREFUL PLS
