got scammed

[Lordblobfish]

I got my account stolen and thankfully got it recovered. I wasn't sure where or how to report it but basically a "friend" sent me a link to a $50 steam gift card thing. The link brings you to a page that looks like a steam page but no matter what you click on it, it'll ask you to log in. I haven't interacted with browser based steam in forever so of course I fell for it.

Remove the link because by posting them, you are only helping the bad guys,

I have a very clear warning that it's a scam. If people follow it at this point, that's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ natural selection but I see your point.

Then I guess it was "natural selection" that you fell for it, hm? Hint: Getting shoved off a cliff is not natural.

That scam is very old and can be looked up easily, so speaking of natural selection... You fell for it.

Why would you login to steam, by using a link someone gives you?

You are told never to click links.



NEVER click unknown links from untrusted sources.

Yes it was an untrusted source because this account that sent the link was most likely hijacked as well.

Yes, very old.

Yup, another PSA thread that won't be seen by those that need to see it until they get scammed and then come to the forums to post about getting scammed, where it won't be seen by those that need to see it until.........
