Hello, This is just a warning about a scam on steam. If a guy named time or tine adds you, De-friend him and do not go to the website he says.
The website he uses to scam is: [url]http://gamessteam.hyperphp.com/[/url] DO NOT ACTUALLY FILL IT OUT, OR YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE HIJCAKED!
I know 3 people who have been scammed by this so far so DON'T get fucked over by it!
Anyone who falls for that is really stupid.
Maybe I missed something, but even if they had your information, how would they get past the steam gaurd thing? Where it requires a code from your email to get in?
Are they hoping that your steam and email password are the same?

They must, I never use my E-Mail password for anything other then my E-Mail.

I know as many people who don't use Steamguard as do. They think the hassle of having to enter a confirmation code isn't worth the extra security for whatever retarded reason.
I entered my information but did not get free games
what do?

They ask for email password as well :
there's easily hundreds or even thousands of websites like that.
warning people against individual ones is useless, just teach people not to blindly click links people send them (and especially don't go the extra mile and fill in all your info on it).

lol, most people are too lazy to spend $10 on steam and wouldn't even think about scams until they filled it out.

I didn't know one could disable steam gaurd.
Goddamn you have to be retarded to turn off steam gaurd. I have put hundreds of dollars into my steam account, I can handle a minute to put in a code to sign in once.

The only bad thing about steam guard is logging into websites via OpenID on a phone :suicide:
If you fall for a website scam, you deserve to lose your account.

and people still fall for this how?
I get these daily now, I just reply that malicious activity has been detected from their account and they must type their password into steam chat to avoid an automatic ban :suicide:
My brother went to that link out of pure curiosity, he didn't fill out anything though. He was logged in our Steam account.
I suppose as long as you don't do fill anything there is no risk?

I did change the password and everything
You know what would be even more fucked up. If you tried to sell back the persons steam account for $50
People are still getting their accounts stolen?
Well I suppose it rids Steam of idiots I guess.
