i saw this on /r/games today and wanted to warn you guys about this:

An evil guy can send a small amount of money (1-10 roubles) via QIWI payment system to a person he wants to spite. All he needs to know to deposit funds is an account name (login). 1 rouble deposit is a really small amount of money which will be almost not noticeable if you do not read emails from steam. After that an evil guy fills a chargeback request with QIWI, Valve recieves chargeback request and automatically locks your account per their poilicies.
