If these is true or not i really do not know.. but it give sense.. as it gives a reason for the sites to do it... as they get spread out all the time and will fall on some guy that dose not know the risk... and as they need to invite 20 each it will grow very fast to many many users
There have been some threads posted here from users asking why ads suddenly appeared in their Steam client. I wonder if there's a connection...
There is. The rules have always said they are not allowed. What people do out side of Steam, Steam has no control over.
Discussions Rules and Guidelines
Do not post any topics/replies containing the following:
2) Is to perform survey scams on as many of them as possible, looping if possible.
3) Is to leech off their social networks in which they shared upon.
4) Is to hijack or snoop the steam account.
They could give you a fake error, a loop to attempt to get that code over and over, a fake code, a already used code, illegally purchased code, or simply revoke the code at a later date on you. Normally they would say something like 'Authorisation Error' and try get you to do a humanity check 'to ensure that your not a bot' on your steam account or something similar, when really just gathering your personal details.
After all the effort of getting the clicks - the person is more likely to do the survey.
After all the effort on doing the annoying survey - the person is more likely to repeat the cycle if said it simply failed or leak personal details/logins if asked to confirm the account.
I've scanned one not so long ago for my own amusement (not actually visited) and tracking back the owner to a Go-Daddy account created just 3 days ago:
The download.php webpage in leads you after the 20 click/invites, has the following:
MD5: ECF0EDDC5AB5C85F1F816B0923380B61
Threat: Mal/FBScam-A
Mal/FBScam-A is javascript malware which forces survey scams and then attempts to steal your social network logins, etc.
I loaded up someones link from Facebook and it shows up as a "Reported Phishing Website Ahead!".
According to the text, phishing is when another website IMPERSONATES another to try and trick you into giving your login given this with the reports of several players having sudden ads pop up in their steam browser and the fact that it ask you for your credentials, this is probs what it is.
Also this also links to your social media accounts so if youve been facebooking it ... yea ... good luck with that.
Im use goog chrome. Heres the link to the pic of the screen so you can read for yourself: http://i.imgur.com/W5ArlIX.png
