CONSTANT EMAILS FOR STEAM GUARD (HACKED?)

[Matwmenos Gerakas]

I keep getting emails from my steam guard giving me a password (for log in purposes) but i never try to log in. ALSO every time the IP that trys to log in is either from CHINA or Britain or other countries in general. I keep changing my password but it keeps happening. I also fornated my pc not so long ago but nothing. Any tips?

Is the hello name in the email your account login name?
And not part of the email address?
Do you use steam auth app?

There lots of scammers online they send fake emails, they try contact people with bait, lots of scam sites that try to look legit, you have be aware about of scams that happens online.

Example for email. https://imgur.com/BzK53jy
Your name is always displayed to you for login email.

Some email service have exploit where scammers spoof the sender address, which some services provide detail view to see real email address from sender which is all text btw, but example is outlook.

Don't click link in emails just because they're there, it best to go to site directly yourself, that why bookmark them to make it easier to get there.


If anyone contact you claiming to be support, or said you're getting pending ban, or want you to trade items before ban then you know it's a scam right away, as support does not do this at all, as well they do not do email replies either they can only do reply via Steam ticket under Steam help section, no where else.

But you dont get emails with codes for login when you use auth app.

It is strange though that the email contains your login name. How could someone know it?

Either OP switch it back to email, or OP been hijacked before, and scammers known OP email & account login name.

Either way OP need to be using Steam mobile app, and not email 2fa, this way OP stop getting email for login attempts, and if still keep getting emails, then OP know those are fake emails as Steam doesn't send email once you switch off from email 2fa to mobile 2fa.
