Re: They will never ask for your account information.

Perhaps I should clarify, this was not actually me. It's from a board I visit occasionally.

Re: They will never ask for your account information.

If Greg was the prankster why was it the other guy initiated conversation?

[altoecko]

Re: They will never ask for your account information.

Didn't post the first part of the conversation I assume.

[Valkysas]

Re: They will never ask for your account information.

and of course, now he'll report you to valve, and they'll probably ban the IP that last accessed his account, which is yours.

EDIT: okay, nevermind. its not you, but another person that will get in trouble for this.

[Ryner]

Re: They will never ask for your account information.

What could have possibly come before "hi" and "good evening"? That's usually the start of most conversations.
