Run a full virus scan on your computer. Might want to check for malware as well.

I don't know enough about the circumstances, but the most important thing is to secure your computer, then change the password to your Steam account just to be safe.

[Iceira]

no but see it as virus or other pesky app you got by mistake or missclicked and have accepted by mistake...

[Sakharov]

[Sakharov]

[76561193857876471]

As long as you have secured your computer, made sure there are no viruses or malware, you should be fine.

DON'T change your password BEFORE you've disinfected your computer, otherwise the scammer will know what it is.

You shoudl do the following:
(1) Disinfect your PC by running an INTENSIVE scan with your antivirus software.
(2) Then download Malwarebytes' Antimalware (Google it), and run it and let it run.
(3) Once they come back clean, THEN you can change both passwords - your email AND Steam. Don't use the same passwords!

In future, NEVER, EVER click on links, even if the person is claiming to be from Valve - Valve NEVER try to contact this way. They only communicate via email and support ticket.

Also, remember NEVER to sell things outside of the official trading system either.

Either one. Depending on how secure your internet browser is, which usually is not very secure at all. Even clicking on the link can be very dangerous.
