~WARNING~

[GreenMonkey]

move as appropriate:

Warning, there is a person going arround on STEAM adding you to his friendlist CLAIMING to be a bot working for valve. It is a scam, and I suspect he might try to do it to you.

Note* that valve WILL NEVER EVER ask you for any information using the steam friends system. It says that on their website. Any attempts are to hijack your account. Keep in mind that the name may change, but here is a sample of what you might see after accepting the friend invitation:

*sorry in advance for the language

P.S. if there a place you can report this name to steam?

Aslo, keep in mind that his steam friends picture is the steam logo. What ever you do, neevr give out your username and password.

 

[MorbidEwok]

No, unless you have their actual account name, steamID, along with IP and/or Logs.... there's nothing they can do but warn people about it. If enough people complain about it they'll have a spyder run through the system and look for anyone using that phrase, I guess...

 

[CorpPunishment (UK)]

nice, thanks for warning, I've heard about this once already,

 

[Yoo-Hoo!{RD}]

I just came on the forums specifically to post this exact same warning.

Except I didn't have any comical chat logs, I didn't even add him.

 

[happyhourj2]

i heard about this a few months ago. someone with a name like that kept trying to add me as a friend.

 

[BREAK_EM_OUT_JONES]

thats why i dont add steam friends that often. stick to xfire.

 

[MajorInMurder]

i dont even HAVE steam friends! lol thanks for the warning green. ur chat was actually funny. but dont do that again only to protect the sake of ur acct.

 

[Food_Fight!]

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Italian_Stallion-TR-]

Exact situation (name, message, and everything) happened to me.

 

[VIPER-]

Thanks for the warning.

 

[bullgodz]

ya thanks for the warning man...

 

[SoMe Slavik DudE=FL=]

Thanks Good job on warning us

 

[Blue Cheese [JONES]]

Just remember never to give your password or anything, what I do is give them a fake pass and play along, get their hopes up

 

[Wal-Mart Security]

Ya, If they were to warn you, they wouldnt do it with friend chat, and they already know how to get access to your account, they're steam, they know all ......Ill make sure to look out for that, and in the process, Ill make sure to have a little fun with him

 

[†.ℓ.Ň. {RD}]

i gave him a fake one

 

[Death]

jeez there are a lot of guys like that

 

[Alias[DAM]]

Thx alot for the warning.. I'll keep my eyes peeled

 

[LUCKY{A|R}]

yes i havent played in 2 days and i had a friend request this morning on my computer desk top from this guy
remember to not hit anything but the x to get rid of message or you may be hacked

 

[ProBowl24]

deny any friends request unless it is someone in game your playin with that you trust or someone you know. If the name is unfamiliar that is sending a friends request while playin type in "who sent me a friends request" otherwise you should always deny ones you dont know
