Fake "staemcommunity" site scam.

[Kaz]

I've had this friend that had gone offline for like 4 weeks on end, i didnt hear anything from him. Neither discord, neither from steam messages. i never saw him go online during those 4 weeks and suddenly he sends me a message "This is for you (link to a fake steam gift activation website)"
i click on the link and IMMEADITLY realise its not the real site, i wasnt logged into my account since i do sometimes use it just to see games by their name instead of having to go on the real app.
Whatever you do, if your friends go offline for weeks on end DO NOT CLICK THE LINK AND SIGN INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU WILL LOSE IT.

you can find out who is hosting it and report them to the isp

It's pretty easy not to fall for it, I usually just go by, if they send me a link then I'll voice chat with them first to make sure it's actually them before clicking it

New paint, old scam, they keep changing things over and over. Steamcomunity- steamc0mmunity staemcommunity and so on all that over and over, hell they even do app.steamcommunity. com and so on they don't stop.

The amounts might be different but the scam/phishing is the same.

I've reported a few similar to that ages ago, before the VMods retired.

Thanks captain. We know. Do a Google search or Steam forum search next time instead of contributing to the spam.

Literally no point telling him that as another person will do the same
