There is a reason why I said "I also didn't know when I was new" and "Spread the news and NOT just from here or Reddit".

And I know that link of course.

And.. :facepalm: if you actually read what I posted on the first page before answering my comment.

I'm not just talking about an expert Steam player. Tell me if you jumped right here, Steam Discussions, the VERY first day you were using Steam.
Even the Steam player that has HELL LOT of Years of Service got hacked! :mkcat: Why? Because NOT every body check the discussion page SIR!

Look. I have known to not just click on anything since before Steam came out. It is just an unwritten rule for me to be overcautious with what I click on when using the net, period. I have heard that there are warnings on at least trade scamming when you flip the chat window open. Scamming has been a problem in EVERY game that has online multiplayer with items, not just what you are dealing with now. Sorry you didn't know about it. But that is the way it is. Blame the scammers, not Steam.

It really isn't all that painful at all lol. For example, if I am on some random webpage I won't go clicking on every ad that I see. If one of those random things pops up on a feed that says I won a cruise I won't click on it. You can say what you want about being overcautious, but it works. But I have known of these botting programs for over ten years.... I didn't judge anyone, I just said that people need to stop getting scammed. There is no reason to give me that attitude so ease up. You are right, spread the news. If more people realize there are scammers they will be less likely to get scammed.

For me if someone adds me I just take a quick look at there profile, if its private or 0 steam level, or have no games. I tell them to go F themselves and then block. Works like a charm lol

Private profiles are always shown as 0 if you aren't friends with that person. As a private profile I might find the " go f yourself" to be rude lol, but I am not sending links or friend requests to anyone either. And I can't really blame you for being cautious. My profile being private is one of my methods of being cautious too.

You guys are aware there was a major internet wide hack presteam sale. I got it not clicking any link but by signing into my email. Came to steam and found over 600 of those links sent out in my name.

It would have really sucked to be banned just for checking my email.

You can not stop people from making bad decisions.
Yes you can :)

Utterly impossible. Valve can't babysit every user to make sure they don't click on links, add random strangers as friends, agree to download/install suspicious programs other users send or recommend to them, agree to lopsided, one sided, or stealthily changed trades (there are TWO very clear warnings about trading before you agree to finalize it, how many more do you want?), keep them from clicking links put in their profile comments, agree to trades outside the Steam trading system, agree to violate the SSA by bringing money or paypal into a trade, agree to use a middleman when none is ever necessary, agree to exchange of "gifted" games which are not inventory gifts or game "codes", or any of the other things that end up with the result being another support ticket wanting lost items back. Strangely, people rarely seem worried about their account or the other info on their computer, it's always the 'items' they are upset about. Go figure.

When people stop doing these things - which are done mainly for two reasons, ignorance of the reality of the situation or greed for money/items/games - then the scamming and hijacking will stop (and Steam support will stop being ridiculously clogged up as result.) The control of these situations is always in the hands of the victim unless it involves an actual email hack or some such thing.

Then I really have no idea why you use your logic judging everyone to be overcautious like you 24/7. :grenny: Must be a painful life worrying about everything on the internet all the time if you have to even worry about a link named "Screen Shot" from your "Friends".

Well, whatever.

When you receive an email from your bank saying there are suspicious entries on your account, do you immediately click the link in the email and try to log in? If you do, then you've just fallen for a scam, you've just given your login information to someone else - you're a part of the problem.

*ALL* over the internet, not just Steam, are people that want information from you, that will try to trick you. Steam is just an easy target as it's a gaming site with lots of highly priced games and younger innocent people who are willing to click things without thinking for a second of 'why do i need to log in again', 'this site is misspelled', 'why has that image link downloaded an executable file' or 'should i really just download a file and run it'.

One way of hijcking is talking to someone, telling them they need the 'latest version of [software name]' and giving them a link to download it. The link is NOTHING like the real link, but people are happy to click it, download it and run it without giving it a second thought.

It's thinking that people need to do, not just rush in and do things.

You gotta cook the phishers.

On topic though, I just had 3 people send me links to my profile that were bad links. I knew it was a scam, but I am just putting the caution out there for other people to be aware.

I (and many many other people) have been telling people not to go clicking on links that they don't know what they're for, from people that they don't even know, since back in the Windows 98 days. By now this should be common knowledge and common sense, but it's not for reasons that still baffle me. Do you really need to be told not to click on emal links telling you you've won the Nigerian lottery? Or that your account at a bank you've never used is having some vague 'problem'? Is it not obvious that you shouldn't take pills that some random dude on a street in another city gave you? Did your parents not teach you not to stick forks into electrical outlets in your house? If they did, did you just assume they only meant in your house and that it was totally fine anywhere else?

If you ban these people youre only punishing the innocnt. People click that link and it automatically tells everyone on your friends list the same thing. An idiot is an idiot. But he shouldnt be punished for stupidity. If that was the case autistic people would be in jail. Which should never hppen because I have a lot of autistic friends. Anyways, theres no point in punishing innocent. If theyre stupid, let them be stupid. (And no I'm not trying to call ALL autistics stupid)
