If you are handing over the card in person during an appointment, how can that be a scam? If you are giving the codes however, then yes, it is a scan.
Had a so-called escort ask me to buy a steamcard for the donation amount. Thought that was bizarre right from the get go.
The situation didn't get that far, but yes - of course it would have ended up with the scammer demanding the card codes by phone or txt before meeting - using some pretext just for her "security" because she's all alone. If meeting face-face, people are happy to deal in cash - never been turned down yet
.Anyway, it was kind of amusing to string them along for awhile.
I was just curious if anyone else has encountered this con - new one on me.
I have encountered this as well. Definitely a scam tactic. Far as I can figure out, Steam cards aren’t even sold in Canada.
Ya I played along with one in NB for a while on a stop-over there ... they wanted me to buy a Visa card ...
They are still available. I still see them at some gas station convenience stores and at Walmart. Don't see them at shopper's or grocery stores tho.
Picked up a few for the nieces/nephews for Christmas.
A lady ( chatting via Ashley M) wants me to buy her a $150 steam card and then meet .
She sent me a pic of her driver license . It's a local address.
She said she will pay me back ..... I offered to drive her to Walmart.
Seems too good to be true ..... scam ?
Her grandmother fell climbing the stairs and needs $870 ... And my lady friend's bank account has been hacked and it will take 7-14 days to straighten it out.
Long involved conversation - over 2 weeks . Just realized the driver's license gotta be fake .

They always as for pictures of the card with the code visable..100% scam all the time. The only situation that may not be a scam is providers asking for deposits, generally for outcalls. I still try and avoid that, and pay for uber etc instead, as some are scams and some are not and you can't tell in advance...
Yes, it happened to me a while ago. The woman asked me to buy her a "vanilla card" and would not take cash. I thought it was strange and suspected a scam of some kind, so I did not proceed. I've only seen her ad one time since then, so I guess she hasn't been too successful.Had a so-called escort ask me to buy a steamcard for the donation amount.
