Their tag looks the same as an administrator's tag, except it says "Middleman". Middlemen are often (but not always) administrators for their respective community, but can be verified in the same way.

It is common for high-tier skin investors to buy ‘OG’ Steam accounts, to get a desired username or to have a coveted ‘years of service’ badge with over 10 years. If an account was not logged into for a hundred days or more, it was much easier to pretend to be the owner who had just forgotten their password.ĬS:GO trader and Twitch streamer zipeL recommends that players log in to their accounts regularly but also avoid buying Steam accounts. If you are worried about your own Steam inventory, though, the alleged criminals would typically target only six-figure accounts, and those that were inactive.
