Look at the URL, it's obviously a scam.

Not gonna click a link.

If someone on discord or acting "as a steam official" or is trying to pass themselves off as a person who "mistakenly reported you" - or is threatening your account IN ANY WAY -


it is a scam, report them wherever they are, and find their steam profile to report and block it too

If you have to ask: it's a scam.
If you read the domain name you'll notice it's not only misspelled, but it's actually under a different domain name.
Oh, by the way, I checked out that link.

A few observations:
1. It replicates the trading window pretty well. In fact, it even showed me a feature I wasn't aware of before, which says "One or more of the items you're receiving in this trade come from games that you have never played". That said, it's still missing some info/integrations, such as not being able to show my own inventory (of course).
2. Going through the motions to make the trade causes a pop-up window. Unlike some other phishing sites I've seen (particularly the "vote for my team" scam), this is a real browser window, with a page that appears to be a Steam login. The trick here is that it does something to blank the address bar. And this is one of those browser window pop-ups that's meant to have a non-editable address bar.

thank you all, something felt off when i first received the message and saw that it had steamcomuunity.ru rather than the usual steampowered or whatever it normally is

steamcommunity.com is the legitimate url for all things of steam community.

store.steampowered.com is for store and some account related tasks

Did you see the link? It says "steampowered .ru. com" 'ru?' official Steam domains doesn't contain any country related word. Be aware. Official urls must be like:
steamcommunity.com - Steam main page
store.steampowered.com - Steam Store
steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/... - Steam Trade Links

It's a scam - sorry.

Really bad spelling, wrong domain, how can you not see that's a very obvious scam?
Since when is Steam spelled with an R?

Yes, i am aware of the word stream and its meaning, but that has nothing to do with Steam itself.

Take the following steps to secure your account:

1. Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a clean computer.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key (there should be no key). https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
