DZComposer Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 A user called "::" joined our group and messaged me, claiming to be Steam support and requesting a link to follow to confirm my account info.If you get one of this, IGNORE IT AND BLOCK THE USER! Why?This is a bot trying to steal your Steam account!The link was to a domain not owned by Valve.If you fell for it, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY.

Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted August 12, 2010 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted August 12, 2010 I got one too..It'll say something about your account being used by multiple IP's.. and how it's against the rules and your account will be deactivated.. and also has a fake .tk extension. Beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePointingMan Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Guess I shoulda read that better was in a hurry ta get back to playin games... Thought it was suspicious so i just clicked around on some links to make sure the links on the page actually lead somewhere, and they did. Guess that's not an effective safety net.I did that quite a while ago though, n' nothins happened yet, may as well change my password though.

Icy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Oh, and if anyone wants to invite me as a friend, feel free, because I can't. It says "Some Steam features become available after you have games--etc" when I DO have games. Anyway, I guess this is kind of off-topic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
