I have lost friends! Hack?

[chaz]

So about a week ago i got sent this link (According to a few friends it was a hack), i clicked the link anyway and i tryed to open the file, i got on steam today and i have only got 8 friends!!! When i used to have more than 130 friends! ad i may have lost a few items! When i opened that file i closed it and changed my steam password! what do i do?! i need help! Iost many friends!

Your friends removed you because you easily fall for a scam, download a virus, and spam them with virus links. Why would anyone want you in their friend list :)

Funny that you don't care about the fact that you downloaded a virus, or that you lost your items. But that you lost a lot of friends, I guess that's the important part.

[Piitr]

For real ? :)

[chaz]

yea, items you can get back easy, but finding friends on steam to add them back is basiccally impossible, and 7/8 friends i had today i have o idea who they are! how do i add my friends that i had before back? and stop this virus/scam thing?

[TirithRR]

If you don't know who they are, then you weren't very close friends to them anyway.

THe new people that were added i don't know them, i know all the friends that were delted and i got about 3 of them bacl, and i lost over 150$AUD worth of counterstrike skins and gear. I am P***ED OFF SO BAD RIGHT NOW! How do i get all the friends that were delted back and all my skins back?! HELP!

Just more proof the weakest link in any security system is the user.

You click a link and it downloads something on your computer and that doesn't raise any red flags to you. Lord have mercy.

Check your trading history. You'll see all your items were traded to one person. Report that person.

As for you getting your items back, that's up to Steam Support. Send them a ticket.

On top of Steam where your screen name is, hover your mouse over it. A dropdown menu will show up. Click on inventory then click on "More" then click on trading history,

It looks like this:

Lost friends? Just add them back and maybe anaylse if it's hacker by turning on Steam Guard and remove Steam accesses on other PCs or maybe an error by Steam

First, sorry to hear about your problems. Scammers are horrible people and it's unfortunate that you just happen to be the next one to fall for a trick like that.

Just putting this out there before you get your hopes up however

There is very little chance you're getting that stuff back.

I only put 'little chance' because I can't see the future. High chance is you won't be getting them back. Period.

I've had friends fall for scams and other such things all designed to get your stuff. Steam, Valve, whatever you want to put your hopes in will not give your skins, items or trades back. It doesn't matter how much they were worth. Or how much they cost. They are sadly gone.

This is due to 'cause and effect'

You clicked a link of your own free will. Was it your fault that this happened to be a scam? Of course not! You didn't deserve that. Yet, you still clicked it. This means you trusted the link enough to click it; and even open the file it containted. This means you've 'waved away' pretty much any chance of Steam having fault in the matter.

On the subject of your friends; either attempt to add them back, or at the very least contact them. Explain the situation. Either way it shouldn't be too hard to get buddies back; it'll just take time.

Please do not click dodgy links. Especially from those you do not know or trust. To be even more safe, don't click links even from people you trust.
