Posted January 24, 200718 yr VALVe has started banning the legit accounts of those who used cafe accounts. So if you used a cafe account on the same IP as your real account, it will probably be disabled.

January 24, 200718 yr so you registered just to bullshit us? they said that since ppl started abusing this, ages ago...
January 24, 200718 yr Author Um no, my legit account is disabled, and when I called VALVe they said it was due to the cafe accounts I used on the same IP, and they would be taking legal action. Also, a whole bus load of people have had this happen today.

January 24, 200718 yr <<< Proof they did it to me. I called them and left a message with their automatted bullshit. I get a call back later from this dude, telling me that my account was disabled for using a cafe account, that legal action will be taken :ugh: (Which will be lots of paperwork for someone if that part is true) Said I wasn't getting my account back and that I will probably be hearing from them again that, since it's across state lines, this and that, that it's computer fraud, wire fraud something along those lines. Telling me all this shit, He said I wasn't getting my account back no way no how. Anyways to make a long phone conversation short. I said listen buddy, I'm not the one posting the things on the net, I didn't generate or steal a damn thing. So GL with whatever you think you are going to do to me besides the same thing you arrest people for (stealing my fucking account) So dude isn't lieing. Edit: BTW the fucking dude knew more about me than the fucking IRS after i told him the account name that was disabled for no apparent reason.
January 24, 200718 yr I doubt they're doing this, what if someone else uses the same pc and uses a cafe account. How can they tell whether the ip is that of a Cafe Center or a home pc?
January 24, 200718 yr fuck valve they have disabled so many of my accounts they can fuck themselves. Yeah, fuck them. Thing is, the son of a bitches disabled an account of mine I have had forever (low 6 digit). Tell me they will be in touch at some point. Tell me there is no way in hell my account back. That legal action will be taken. (probably against whoever is making them) When they technically just STOLE my legit account. If you want to look at it that way. So i guess were fucking even

You think I'm fucking lieing? Keep using them I hope you generate a few for yourself too. As for the cafe PC thing..Good fucking question. I told him other people use this PC (Lies) but anyways it didn't matter and I am sure they know the difference between the real and fake ones. Once i gave the dude my username. The motherfucker spat out my name, address a bunch of shit. Because I used a card to get the shit from them, they knew a lot about me.
January 24, 200718 yr LISTEN!! If you dont want you account banned just do this. Connected directly to modem: start>run CMD type ipconfig /release type ipconfig /renew Then reset your modem (Turn it off and restart it) Using a Router: Connect directly to modem folow above actions. Now restart the router also.
January 24, 200718 yr Freesteam.org has nothing, I cry BS. K, whatever. I could care less if you believe me or anyone else it has happened to.

Edit: BTW the fucking dude knew more about me than the fucking IRS after i told him the account name that was disabled for no apparent reason. i've read it all but couldn't find a single proof
January 24, 200718 yr i've read it all but couldn't find a single proof Well this is the fucking best i can do right here. I don't know what the hell kind of "proof" you want. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/DZ-Precision/disabled.jpg
January 24, 200718 yr This is true...My account just got disabled.. Edit : So..Now if you've used a cafe account, any account you log into, will get disabled too?
January 24, 200718 yr Well my legit account and my stolen ones are still there so I don't really believe this shit. /Gaia101\
January 24, 200718 yr Gabe just called me on the phone and we started talking. he said he sent a special agent to the myg0t forums and spread a fake rumor to scare us all.
January 24, 200718 yr backwards;436019']Gabe just called me on the phone and we started talking. he said he sent a special agent to the myg0t forums and spread a fake rumor to scare us all. Backwards, I just tried logging into my account then...It's disabled.. I'm not fucking bullshitting
January 24, 200718 yr Eh.... even if they do have your address, they would have to subpoena your ISP for evidence of what you did. And if you happen to draw your IP from a pool of different IPs (like me), just call up your ISP and tell them to change you IP. Chances are, when they get to your IP, the logs on your activity will be lost. Though, to be extra careful, I would lay low for a while. Besides, I doubt the people who picked up the accounts are going to be in much legal trouble. The people who hosted the cafe accounts and generated them might be in trouble though. Steam may do an RIAA-esque thing and go after the actual provider and have scare tactics all over the place. I doubt that though. Doing something like that is time and money consuming. Edit: Yeah, they are disabling accounts. *sigh* Oh well. Not like Counter Strike: Source was much fun anyway.
January 24, 200718 yr And there is no way of getting the accounts back? AJSDNABNSHFNDSAF so angry. yes. raged.
