You know since valve is giving HL2 DM and LC away for free to people with Nvidia and Ati graphics cards, it can be quite a few who will fall for these things.

Seriously, if you fall for stuff like this, you really shouldn't have access to a way to buy stuff online. (I mean stuff like a creditcard.)

Many people dont look at url.
You can send emails with a little code for example:
<br><a href=http://www.meatspin.com/ target="_blank">http://www.facepunch.com</a><br>

That code displays facepunch in email, but sends you to meatspin.

Exactly! Now, if you excuse me, I have a free offer of COD4 from the STEAM free download site waiting for me, I just have to type in my name, password, address, and credit card number! :fuckyou:

Cool, I can win a free Quake 1 mod.

But seriosly, WTF! I mean: ALWAYS, at any chat screen, we have a warning, to don't send passwords.

When you try to send a password, it shows a fucking WARNING! WTF IS WRONG WITH THE SCAMMED PEOPLE!

Also, my buddy, whom I gave TF2 for his b-day, got scammed. Fuck.

[Mr. Someguy]

As I said before, I watched (helplessly) as a guys account was hijacked while I was in chat with him.

Also, keep an eye out for anyone using the names m3c, hack, or ADMIN, as those are the names he's been seen using after the hijack.

Whats the proper way to report them? I could never find a "report phishing" button, so I just go on their profile and report it for "User Misconduct" and hope VALVe knows what I mean.

That's what I do. If you want to hunt some phishers just go to steam community and search "Steam" or "Valve". [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-clint.gif[/img]
