[DANGER] Vote for Team Quartz for CSGO on Seventown message is malicious bot!

[Vektor T]

If you recieve a message asking you to vote for someone CSGO Team Quartz on Seventown DO NOT DO IT!!!

I just received a message like that from an old contact. I thought it was legit so I clicked the link and tried to log in the site with my Steam account to vote (I know, I know, stupid me). After trying to log in, the site says it servers are full and couldn't proceed, so I just went "meh" and forgot about it. A few hours later a real life friend sent me a print in my Whatsapp of my profile sending him the exact same messages I received before. He noticed something was wrong because we both are brazilian but the messages are in english. After seeing that, the first thing I did was get out of bed, log in my Steam account and change my password, after that I used the very own Steam chat to message him I still have the account, and just a few seconds later he disappeared from friend list. The bot somehow blocked him on my Steam account and I had to unblock him and add him back to my friend list.

Be careful guys! I'm not sure what are the intentions of this bot and I didn't noticed anything different in my account yet. I do not even own CSGO but I'm letting you guys know here. I'm also messaging Steam support and posting on Steam Reddit page.

By the way, the screeshot of the message: https://imgur.com/a/72pNmgU

*the scam may also use another website names like Fivetown, Sixtown, Ninetown, etc.

My tip if you are dumb like me and fell for it: change your password, advice you friends and cancel you api key in the below link:

Also, use Steam Guard if you have a cellphone. And don't have same passwords for your emails.

People fall for it because it comes from a friend. Sometimes from a close friend but they don't know it's not them talking.

Me neither but it seems to happen. I've had someone in discord a few days ago who asked me for help cause he felt for this.

I don't play CSGO so I really dont know and could care less how it works. Yeah, it was a brainfart of my part, but I brought it here anyway because it mention the game.

I don't even play CS:GO (haven't played CS for so so so long). I only got here by googling the message I got cause it seemed a little weird and the guy wasn't responding to questions. I also couldn't actually find the domain they mentioned via google which sparked some suspicion.

We have to remember that people are coming from VERY different perspectives. Also like the other commenter said, it is coming from a friend, so why not just go ahead and perform a couple clicks to help them out? Anyway I don't think crapping on people for not knowing how CS:GO tournaments work is super constructive.
