Hey for all you new guys or those who aren't informed

Please never give out your steam password to anyone under any circumstance.
If someone is asking you for this information stop talking to them.
If someone sends you to a link for "free games" or anything of that nature don't trust them even if they are on your friends list. A lot of times people will steal others steam accounts and then contact their friends and try to steal their account. This might be obvious and you think you might know better than to give away your account info; but it happens to the best of us.
Never go to steam from a link sent to you. ALLWAYS connect to steam on your own and then navigate to whatever link. If you think something sounds to good to be true 99.99% of the time on the internet it's something bad. Your steam id and steam name are viable to anyone who needs it and this information can't harm you but; If you let someone know your username and password either by telling them or signing into their bogus website, you can pretty much say later to your account. It's that time of year that the rats and roach come to play so be careful.

Some (?ČĐ)™ guy tried adding me to his friends list, I replied to him asking what he wanted, but did not give an answer.. I simply blocked this this guy. I'm guessing they are using steam groups as a target list, so be careful guys.

No, there is an OCD with that group that I referenced. I have an invite. Same special characters... Everyone in it is eGO, expect about two guys...??

Yea a new member of eGO made the group, he is the brother of a former member known as "megabite" He asked me to join but I didn't. I got 5 friend request from random people last night so yea they might be targeting eGO members so just be careful and I guess I should add that steam personnel with never ever contact you on steam so please don't fall for this old trick either.

Some scammers are totally obvious. When one of your friends sends you a link with a message saying, "Come play all your favorite games, FOR FREE!!!! Just click here!: [link]" It seems kinda odd, doesn't it? Esp. when it's a friend you may not talk to all that much, or they usually don't send you links or even chat about stuff like that.

Then you get the not-so-obvious scammers. Ones who sound like your friends, but then send you a random link saying something like, "Oh hey, check out this awesome picture of what I did last weekend! [link]"

I fell pray to the second kind at one time. We had a regular conversation that I would normally have with him, and when he sent me a link I didn't think twice. Had to reboot my entire system from scratch, just from the virus overload it gave me.

Just be careful when someone sends you a link. If in doubt, don't click it. Also, be sure to keep your account information SAFE. Change your password every few months (or weeks), just to keep it safe. Clear your browsing history, temporary internet files, cookies, and so on. Also check the tech help forums, they have a few pretty good threads when it comes to computer security from hacking/phishing/viruses.

Keep safe!
