Please stop clicking suspicious links on steam

Last warning. Multiple members are reporting that their accounts are getting stolen. Please do not fall victim to this easy phishing scam. Do not click any links promising free games or other prizes. Do not enter your account information anywhere that you do not recognize or trust.

You should also be verifying your email address on your steam account so that you can prevent ANYONE but yourself from changing your password.

Quotes:

Verifying your email address with Steam improves the security of your Steam Account. Once you've verified your email address with Steam, both your Steam Account password and access to your email account are required in order to make any changes to your Steam Account credentials, such as your password, secret question and answer, and contact email address. This helps further protect your Steam Account from being stolen by a potential phisher.

Right-click on the Steam icon in the System Tray and select Settings or press the Settings button in Steam's File menu.
Click on the Verify email address button.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
You should then receive an email message from Steam Support.
Click the unique link provided in this email message to finish verifying your email address. The web page which then launches will confirm your success.

[SuperShoot]

Thanks for posting this, Bear. I just got one of those links ;s

 

[Mikkel]

God damnit, does this mean I don't get any free steam games?

 

[Ruthless]

I really don't know how people fall for this over and over again.

Same here.

I just noticed my email was already verified. Never had a problem with my account in 2 years.

Finally someone posts about this ^^

 

[Soul_of_a_Sinner]

ugh...what ever happened to common sense on the internet? If it looks suspicious and its promises seem to good to be true...then it is.

 

[BokkChoi]

Finally someone posts about this ^^

Umm, there has been a post, probably once or twice a MONTH about this same exact topic.

My rule of thumb for websites are,
1. Don't click on .tk sites, ever.
2. If the website has something like www .omgtotallyfreesteamgameslolarewin .tk
2a. Or a website like www .fsgec4glesiakr. com

 

[KR Decade]

I did that once, it took me 4 days to retrieve it! T_T

 

[LJ Coolio]

Thanks for the info, i havent had any problems, but im sure there are some who would fall into trouble without it!

 

[Mayhem Death]

God damnit, does this mean I don't get any free steam games?

Lol. No Mikkel, you cannot.

 

[Euphoric]

I have never gotten one of those links. Lucky me!

 

[TrollFace]

Long story short.

I NEVER click links ANYBODY sends me on steam.

Even if its youtube links, I NEVER click them.

We want to win free iphones

But honestly, I've been tricked enough times over msn to tell the difference -__-

 

[DanJK]

Yeah, watch out for these and if see something even slightly suspicious, just dont go to it, leave it be and continue playing

 

[Do i know you]

no links = no losing steam account

 

[Lil-C]

Why would you even want..... this is bad!

 

[Frank The Tank]

It would funny if the link bear posted was a hack to steal accounts lol

 

[Allan]

Shame that people would even attempt to steal another account, hopefully it doesn't happen to anymore eGO members.

PS, never trust a steam admin! >-|
