It's called phishing.

For the sake of brevity, it's just a clone of a site.

In order to be phished, you lack alertness and can't see the Valve Corp site information.

If you receive a link from another user, especially one claiming free access to Steam content, use extreme caution!

All official Steam logins are directed to the store.steampowered.com or steamcommunity.com domains, and official pages will include an Extended Validation SSL certificate, which most up-to-date modern browsers will identify with green text or a green highlight in the address bar with "Valve Corporation [US]" near the address.

Clearly your friend did not keep this in mind.

we take it as the darwinian test of those falling for it need to learn that lesson. steam deals with those that do it, but expect you to at least TRY and keep your account secure. And what annoys ppl is when you call it "hacking" no skills are required with phishing, just the gullibility of your target.

as was explained to you:

Not helpful anymore. The site start to add fake addressbars on top. You can still identify them as fake, but at a glance you will be fooled.

@OP
NEVER log into anything but Steam itself. If you are logged via Steam, you will be logged into all sites supporting OpenID.

It was a malicious spam link to phish your details, not a gift card thing.

You need to learn to spot such things without clicking them.

Circumstance, differences, and what common sense tells you.

Sometimes it's virtually impossible without actually clicking the link. And let's be real, browsers are secure enough, nothing will happen if your browser is up to date and you don't download anything from the malicious website.
