I am writing to report an attempted online fraud, similar to the scam described in the YouTube video titled "How Scammers Use Discord to Scam People in 2024" (
). The incident involves an individual based in the Philippines who attempted to scam me using a fraudulent method related to the Steam gaming platform. I believe it is crucial to report this incident to prevent future fraudulent activities and safeguard online users.

In response to this attempted fraud, I employed an IP grabber tool to trace the individual's IP address and identify their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The details I collected are as follows:
IP Address: 143.44.[CENSURE POUR JVC] Country: Philippines, Cagayan de Oro ISP: Converge ICT Solutions Inc. Additional information about the individual's setup:
