Valve Unauthorized charges on credit card

This morning chase sent an email that I needed to authenticate because it didnt recognize my ip address.
At 7 am the authentication process had me log onto my comcast email account and sign in... I should have known then.!
10 minutes after I logged into my email account, I got another code form xfinity as if I was trying to log in again (730am). Then an hour later (845) and then 15 minutes later (9am).
Then at 845 I had gotten what I thought was a telemarketer call from keep calling.com. And guess what.. There was a charge from them too! And another company bonfire.com. So these 3 companies are running some scam.

Valve Charged my visa I had never done business with them.

I found 4steamgames.com charges to my Visa Debit card this morning for 220.00 dollars each luckily the bank stopped 2 of them and will take care of the other 2. I called [protected] the number they give for contacting SteamGames.com and there is no way to speak to a person. Same with their website. This company is clearly a front for fraud. They probably sell games as well but their primary purpose seems to be to steal money and hope no one catches it. The fact that so many people have complained about this and contacted their banks but the FBI has not done anything about it for years tells you a lot about the state of our society! It is not enough to just call your bank. You need to file a report with your local law enforcement. The individuals at SteamGames are nothing more than common thieves, no morals, no ethics what so ever. The banks don't do anything about it and these [censored] know it, that's why they keep doing it and why the list of victims continues to grow. These sites need to be stopped, file complaints yes, but also file a report with law enforcement. Share their addresses, phone numbers and empoylee names if you get them.

Valve Steamgames.com

I just noticed that I have been charged MULTIPLE times a day for charges that were NOT authorized by me on my cc. I will be disputing these charges, but this is hundreds of dollars of charges that are surreptitiously being charged without anyone's knowledge. In fact, my son has not even been playing the game he believes is part of Valve/ Steamgames.com platform. This is a scam.

Today I found eighteen charges on my credit card varying between $100 and $170 each. Seeing the other comments online shows this is Not an uncommon occurrence. The financial institution caught it, but now I have to wait until the new card arrives and change all the auto payments. Something is obviously wrong with their site to allow multiple fraudulent charges.

Valve valve loot boxes in cs/go

Ladys and geentleman,

I´m hereby to expose a iliegal situation of Valve.
Valve in last years has been forced to disable loot boxes opening, due to the new laws of Belgium/Netherlands of gambling, and therefore only apply to them. The purpose of this laws, is to prevent gamers winning in-game items, with certain value, and be able to trade/sell.
Quite simplistic rule.

However the solution of Valve, was to associate each game account with a bank account.
This way, becouse I have dutch/belgium bank account, I cannot open the boxes. Until now, everything is legal and correct.

However, if I decide to go for holidays in Germany, I should be able to play the game, and open the loot boxes, mainly becouse in Germany, there isn´t such law. Something which doesn´t happen, becouse they still consider my bank account´s country, and not the actual location where I am.

At this point, this is unmmoral, unethical and even a bit of descrimination.

But what happens when we look at other way arround?

Lets say, I am bulgarian, I created my valve account from Bulgaria, with bulgarian bank account.
Then I could move into Netherlands/Belgium, and I would be able to open this boxes, unless I dont change my payment account to dutch/belgium one.
At this point, I am commiting a felony becouse I am allowed to open a virtual box, which is iliegal in the contry where I found myself (Netherlands/Belgium).

Conclusion
If its iliegal to open loot boxes in NL/BE, then this rules apply to EVERYBODY inside the borders of the mentioned countrys. Thats what the laws state. Everything outside of those borders, any Dutch/Belgium valve account, should be able to open the loot boxes. There isn´t any legal limitation when it comes to abroad country´s.
Therefore the service payed by players should be full, and not partially like it is right now.

I commented this topic in reddit/csgo channel, and also in-game discussions.in both channels I was locked/excluided, which helps me assume a cover operation from the part of moderators.

With my saddest regards,
Bushm1lfs

Valve online hacking website

I was charged $100 twice because they were denied a third time. My bank will take care of this when the transactions post and I call the fraud department. I am also filing a report with the Better Business Bureaus for all this online hacking and them getting away with it. I also filed a complaint with the FBI to finally get them closed. Everyone should also do that.
You can email the company all you want or call. No one will answer and if they do. They don't speak English, and they will not respond to an email.

Valve steamgames.com

We just got charged five times at $22 a piece without making a purchase. My husband has a steam account that he hasn't made a purchase on for over a year, and that account is not connected to my debit card. We called our bank and reported it as fraud. Their website asks that you not contact your bank and go through them. After reading so many fraud reports, I do not feel confident in their ability to resolve our issue.

Valve unauthorized credit card charges

On December 8th, 2018 my Visa card was charged 7 times for 100.00 each time for a total of 700.00. I have never had an account or purchased anything from Steam Games. This was a blatant attempt to defraud. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the FBI Cyber Crimes Division and with the U.S. Attorneys Office in Chicago. This company has a long history of Credit Card Fraud. Please help me in getting the word out about the thieving company Stream Games.

I was charged $150.00 at $50.00 each time for a games and I don't play games much less buy games! It was charged in the middle of the night when I was asleep! My bank caught it and fixed my account and issued me a new card! Nothing worse than people stealing from honest hard working people! People who defraud other people are really scum bags!

Valve unauthorised purchases on credit card

I've see. A lot of ppl complaining about steamgames who have accounts with them... we don't even have accounts and so far this is the second time I am going to have to cancel my card as in Australia there is nothing more I can do. I'm alerted as a foreign exchange fee comes up after the fact so if it isn't enough that they steal out of my account...

Valve fraudulent charge

I have 2 charges pending on my bank account each for $100! I am trying to get in touch with my bank to get them reversed and of course, they will. However, how is it that there are complaints going back to 2015 and this company is still in business and still fraudulently charging people for hundreds of dollars?!
The date of these charges was 9/4. The only way to contact Steamgames.com is online by filling out a form giving them more details. Clearly if you have a form for fraudulent charges then you have an issue that you need to fix!
