Warning - Steam Account Phishing

Again.

We have someone stealing accounts by sending a link to a fake Steam page offering free games. If someone sends you a link via Steam friends do NOT enter your steam account details, you will lose your account.

If you have already fallen for this here is a link on how to get your account back:

How it works is one person falls for it, the phisher then takes control of their account and send the message to everyone on that persons friends list. So it's very unlikely that the person who sent you it was in control of their account.

SS of what the site looks like:

I can easily say iv had mine stolen now!!!! Waited for over 24 hours for a response off steam but still nothing hope to have it back shortly, but it looks like the guy who stole it hasnt accesed it yet. Phil im currently using Nik's account am i still allowed 2 admin on his account on common grounds since we both have admin on there.

It's not ideal but it's ok if you are on common grounds as you both have admin there. I would not be happy with you using admin on officefest as Nik has admin there but you do not.

My main concern would be that it could complicate any claims of admin abuse as we would have difficulty establishing who was using the account at the time. I'll discuss it some more but for now take it that you can use his account, just not on officefest.

Honestly Phil you would never get me on office fest as its not my type of map. We change names with who ever is playing so if there was a report a incident we would be sure to know which one of us banned them :)

Its ok iv just got my steam account back now :)
