My steam is killing me.

[Matz]

I havent been able to go on my steam acount for 11 days, i havent been able to play a game for 12 weeks. I have been forced to play sims 2 univercity!!!!
I dont know whats wrong with my steam and im not sure steam knows ether.
i havent been able to log into my acount so i cant do anything or play anything (thats good) I hope i will be back soon so i ca play again on ego awesome servers.
If you can help me this is my problem...
I recived an email saying my acount client name has been changed from my normal name to this one i have never hard of before. I loggeg onto this acount using the same password that it told me to. Then there was none of my games on that acount. AND I WAS UNABLE TO LOG INTO MY USUWAL ONE!!!
I f this has ahappend to you or you know what to do so i can have my steam acount back, that would be great. Im getting a little bored of sims.
Thank You

Sounds like your account got hijacked. You better get in touch with Steam's Customer Support and get it worked out.

Tip

Never give out your info to anyone. Their have also have been links associated with steam accounts being hijacked so be careful.

 

[OUCH]

i would just buy another account....worst comes to worst

Basically


NEVER GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFO OVER STEAM FRIENDS

This includes:

People posing as friends with the same name or similar names

People pretending to from VAC, steam, or Steam customer service

Any site that asks for your account info and password



Just remember- Do NOT click on links that you are not sure of and that NO ONE will *ever* ask for your information. There is a reason why every steam message says never give your password out to anyone or any site at the top.


Having said this, we don't need people to post saying that someone hacked an account and is sending invites. What we do need is you to pm your division's advisor or DL and have them revoke admin on that steam id until you get your account back. Otherwise, we don't need 1000 threads about yours or someone else's account getting hacked.

You guys need to seriously smarten up...

What do you mean normal...? Accounts hijacked doesn't mean that it is messed up. It just means someone took it.

Account got jacked.

I can't believe people still fall for this stuff.

I'm sorry about your account but... Shouldn't this be in the "tech help" section of the forums??

 

[pillar]

i agree but since the issue is resolved, this thread should be locked up.

 

[Miiikey]

have you try to uinstall it and install it again ?

 

[_Xx_HeX_xX_]

ive had this happen , if you run 64bit steam mess's up with the client updates , uninstall , reinstall steam and you can login again

 

[.:Snowman:.]

Well, if it's been "hijacked" just wait for the Steam support team to respond, or just uninstall Steam then reinstall it then try logging on
