On Reddit, users are actively discussing malicious broadcasts that mimic official events of well-known gaming platforms. Particular attention is drawn to the latest case, where fraudsters created a fake broadcast of a "big draw" on Steam, which attracted more than 2.5 thousand viewers.
Users share their negative experiences and call for caution when logging into online accounts, especially when following links from suspicious sources. Recent comments confirm that despite the promise of big draws and gifts, most of these offers are fake and can lead to the loss of personal information or access to accounts.
Some users admit to their own naivety, while others express outrage at the lack of response from platforms such as YouTube, which do not always seem to respond quickly to reports of fraud.
User yar2000 warns: "For the 100th time, STOP LOGGING INTO SITES WITH YOUR LOGIN Credentials." He advises to always check the website address before entering personal data.
Commenter Top-Mix-7512 shared his experience of trying to fight these scams: "Just got an email from YouTube: We removed or restricted the content you reported... The stream is still up," expressing disappointment that platforms do not always respond effectively to such incidents.
REV3N4N7, discussing the naivety of users, states: "Honestly if anyone believes in this they deserve to have their accounts stolen," which provoked a sharp response from normalguy821: "Fucking terrible take, bro."
The dialog between users highlights the importance of educating users about cybersecurity and the challenges that platforms face in trying to keep their users safe and protected from fraud.
