Steam e-mail scam: Eat Fry

[Mr. Chair -TR-]

So yeah, I got this e-mail from "Steam" supposedly, wanting my account info for some jazz. Uhh, not happening, punk.

Here's what it looks like:

wow that surprises me that they would just staright forward ask for you info.

i get paypal spam emails that ask me to verify my account be clicking a link, and logging in with my username/pw... that is understandable if u fall for that =/

but ya thats pretty funny that they would want u to just give away your username/pw to them xD

You should reply to them.

Username: I'm reporting this to Valve and google.
E-mail: Haha I hope this email account gets banned
password: I hope you get banned from steam and die.

yea freeflow, to normal people it might look real, but before signing in ANYWHERE, u must look at the url adress first, and plus my computer remembers all my passwords, and it wouldnt on a scam website, so thats another way i would know...

and ya i agree with soge king although, most likely, the scam guys wouldnt care =/
