E-mail from noreply@steampowered SCAM?

[Lord of the Infinite Clouds]

I just received an email from [e-mail] notifying me that 12.50 'RUB' have been added to my Steam Wallet and that the date confirmed was at 8:30 or so this morning. I was not even logged in to my account this morning.. no funds appear in my Steam Wallet but when I check my account history on Steam it shows...

Mar 11, 201412,49 pуб.Wallet Credit: Wallet 12,49 pуб. Credit

It does not show any purchases made, however. Should I be worried?

I've been getting 'reset password request/change' emails for over a year now and I've just been ignoring them as when I googled the issue people were saying it could be someone with a similar account name trying to access and there isn't anything Steam can do until after an account is hacked, anyway.

It isnt a scam its just a email from Steam I Hope that helps

Do not reply to these emails you are getting. It could also be an good idea to change your account password once a month.

You can contact support here: https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php so they can investigate it.

Is there an actual Steam support e-mail that gives a crap that I can send the confirmation # for this transaction to and they will investigate?

You need to create a seperate account for this.

And imho yes, you should be worried.

anyone can send spoof email from steampowered.com email address it means nothing which email it says it came from, but links do that are sculpted to represent orginal ones.

its best never to click a link in a email just open yuor browser and login manualy every time and you will never have a problem.

this is not the same if you open a attachedment in an email then you comprimise yourself again .

only ever read emails and never click links or open attachments unless you know that person and trust them 100%.

My concern isn't the e-mail alone as much as the fact that my actual account history shows that there was a Steam Wallet: Steam Credit for 12.50 Russian Currency... but no purchases were made, nor was the steam credit purchased... and it is not even showing that it is in my wallet, now.

Yeah, I would change your Steam Password soon to something secure.
Most likely something that would be defined as a "Strong Password".
(At least 1 Cap letter, at least 1 number and at least 1 symbol, with the password being 8+ characters long.)

Constant Alerts means somebody is trying to take your account.

Make sure to have SteamGuard active if you don't.
(That way, even if they figured out your password, they can't take your account until they know your e-mail password.)
If your e-mail password is either the same as steam or kinda weak, you should maybe change that one too to be on the safe side (to again, something that's a Strong Password).

I would also constant Steam Support about the mysterious steam funds.
If somebody is trying to steal your account, they probably want to load it with money to scam people, but they probably acted too fast on that.

Maybe Steam can blacklist ip's on some accounts (like scammers/Phishers, etc.) if they still keep trying to take your account even after the password change and contacting support.

even someone you know and trust can have their email account compromised and spam can be sent in their name...

1) don't necro 4 year old threads
2) report the account that scammed you through their profile
