• Fake Steam gift email.

I went onto my email this morning while importing my new cds and I found this email. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1470986/Photos/fakesteam.png[/img] I was wary because of the part circled in red, and it looked very different from gifts I've received previous, so I tried a link in firefox. I got: [quote]This web page at batissealouer.com has been reported as a web forgery and has been blocked based on your security preferences.[/quote] Just a warning, for all you out there that may have gotten this email.
Any dumb person would fall for this
Looks legit. Click the links.
You should try it.
Do they even try?
Christmas Spam
That looks so legit... Except for the fact that they used hyper-linking in the body.

[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;26954413][noparse]http://storefront.steampowered.com?[/noparse][/QUOTE] Yeah, I noticed that...
What, I just copied the links into my browser, it goes to the legit steam site. It said "Activating your gift in Steam, click here if nothing happens.", am I getting Black-Ops?

[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;26954541]Here you go. [media]http://imgur.com/VrKhW.jpg[/media][/QUOTE] Go through with it, see what happens?
[QUOTE=WastedJamacan;26954554]Go through with it, see what happens?[/QUOTE] No idea, I clicked Okay, my HDD light blinked for a bit, but steam did nothing. If I do end up taking your copy of Black-Ops. Sorry :saddowns:
They probably just entered random numbers in the gift URLs That means they are legit but nothing will happen if you use it

Why the hell would Valve use green as the text for the games, anyway?

Yeah because steam would totally say this: [IMG]http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/3527/skrmavbild20101225kl171.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=zzaacckk;26954640]this.[/QUOTE] Not really, no, they faked that screen and used firefox launch thingy to hijack his steam account.

Sorry :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Haha if you do in fact steal my Black-Ops, you can have it for actually trying it out. Not a big fan of the game anyways.

[QUOTE=mobrockers;26954613]They stole your steam.[/QUOTE] Nope, plus my email if verified. [QUOTE=Divez;26954629]Dont do it dude. thats not the legit site. might hijack your account.[/QUOTE] It is the legit site, [url]http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/storefront.steampowered.com/comment#comment[/url] The one comment on there is a bad one, look at all the good ratings compared to his, which is more like an Ad than anything.
[QUOTE=mobrockers;26954655]Not really, no, they faked that screen and used firefox launch thingy to hijack his steam account.[/QUOTE] I checked my mail for recent steam gifts, and they all have storefront.steampowered.com links. So it is legit (but does not work), they just put it in hope that if nothing happens someone will click external links.
