I'm getting banned from steam for nothing. What'd I do? - Games

[QUOTE=Dogchow33;31336264]It could be labeled as tress passing, but that's just my opinion.[/QUOTE] For your own, good I'd stop talking if I were you.

[QUOTE=KingKombat;31336788]I overlooked most things that were noted in this thread. It's now an obvious fake. The email is convincing though.[/QUOTE] It's only convincing if you sincerely believe Valve has the authority to send you to jail for two years for making a Steam account.

Wow, this is so fake it's hilarious. I'm damn surprised they didn't ask for his steam username, steam password, and email password though. They always ask for those when I get those type of messages and if they had put that in there I'd be willing to bet that the gullible OP would hand them over his account. And you actually believed it despite it saying you could be fined $2000 dollars? And then you said it'd fall under "tress passing?" OP is a moron.

This is what will happen, you will email them back worried about the breach of contract and beg them not to terminate your account, tell them you didnt do anything wrong and so on, then the person at that email address will respond saying look, just give us your username and password and we will look into it, after you respond you will never see your account again. This scam is way to easy to read.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;31336757]Let's email the account with the same message.[/QUOTE] Seeing as how it's sent from [email]webmaster@[b]steampowered.com[/email][/b], that would not work. They most likely used an application to send a fake e-mail from an account. I used to do it all the time a few months ago. Not like this, though.

Yeah, you have one more hour to use your account, make it count. Like Valve would ever say something like that...

OP is a morooon. Lrn2SteamGuard. *rolleyes*

Webmaster is a bot anyway, and I found out who it was, just one of my friends who played a sick joke :frown: [editline]25th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=xiohexia;31338425]OP is a morooon.

[QUOTE=Dogchow33;31339125] Only morons spell moron wrong.[/QUOTE] He didn't spell it wrong, he spelled as if to say he stretched out the word, like he way saying "The OP is a MORRRONNN." :downs: [editline]26th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=sa2fan;31338002]Yeah, you have one more hour to use your account, make it count.

Only little kids drag shit on. Seriously stop you guys, i would be scared to if i got an email from that adress.

[QUOTE=Sir Spicy Buns;31339742]Only little kids drag shit on. Seriously stop you guys, i would be scared to if i got an email from that adress.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't. Valve doesn't do that shit and I'm smart enough to know it. I've seen actually good tricks used to get someone's Steam account and almost fallen for a few, and this doesn't even compare to one.

Good thing I don't look at my email. Ever. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ol3Ft.png[/IMG]

What a terrible troll attempt. Why would you go to prison for 2 years for making another account.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ol3Ft.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] You should see mine, over 2000 messages, most from websites like Amazon that I have an account on and they send me messages about sales and shit and it's accumulated over a few years. Just the other day spent an hour hitting the delete key to clear them all out.
