I once got a link for a free game. The like was for something like store.steampowered.BLAHBLAHBLAH.com/?Blah=Blah or whatever.
Most people just look at the beginning of a url. So when they see store.steampowered, they accept it. And usually those sites have an "authentic" looking steam store login page.
However, the blahblahblah.com is a different site, probably a phishing site. And the store.steampowered is just one small phishing project.

go to steam support, make sure you have a key you used on your account tho so they can verify you're the actual account owner. I was hijacked before, obviously i got it back, but it took a few weeks.
Always be suspicious of links you get from people, unless you know they're trustworthy. Even the most of legit-looking links can be scams.
Scammers can link you fake webpages that look completely flawless. Even the URL can be exactly the same as the real counter-part. I don't know how they do it, but they're able to mirror entire pages and URLs to jack your info.
just like what i told above, the site's seems legit , but than u take a real good look , than u see there is a difference in the link...
