If your Steam account has been compromised, a scam bot can replace a valid trade offer with a fake one when you attempt to transfer your items to a DMarket bot. Items stolen by scammers in this way cannot be recovered. For this reason, you should always verify the authenticity of a DMarket bot before confirming the trade.
We highly suggest installing the DMarket Trust Shield - it's a free Chrome extension, designed to detect fake bots and suspicious trades to help protect your account.
Another layer of protection is the DMarket mobile app. If notifications are enabled, it will alert you instantly about any potentially dangerous trade.
You can also verify the bot manually. Pay attention to the following:
- A valid DMarket bot has "DM Bot" and a number in its name and the actual DMarket logo (see Fig.1).

- The level of a DMarket bot can’t be lower than 10 (see Fig.2).
FIGURE 2
- The item inventory of a DMarket bot always contains a considerable number of items and cannot be empty (see Fig.3).
FIGURE 3
- The link of the DMarket bot always contains an ID written in numbers instead of a nickname written in letters (see Fig.4)
