A Phisher is any type of page or form that attempts to trick you by looking like another page to get personal or sensitive information.
Lately theres been one going around eGO servers and through steam. Lelouch was just recently affected (Screenshot provided). I just want to remind you all not to click on any link you get in steam friends from people you don't know, and never enter your steam username or password on any of these sites. Hundreds of accounts are stolen every day (I would know, I have a lot of friends who use and produce these) and nobody wants you to be next.
Also, be weary of youtube videos claiming to give you free games, etc. Theres no loophole or secret to getting any games that normally cost money, not even to Steam Employees or relatives of Steam Employees. Everybody has to buy the games with their own hard-earned money (Or your parents, if you don't make your own money
)
If you come across any people sending you messages like these, just post their name in this thread so the community knows and can avoid them if possible, and report them for spam on Steam so they can take care of their accounts. Chances are Lelouch lost his account to this phisher, and hopefully he can make a new one and play with us again.
I really hope that your not next. It's a shame to see people lose their accounts to such an obvious scam, but it happens everyday.
