I had an IM window from Mrs. 19 this morning asking me to join a group or something. I clicked on the link and found myself logging into my steam account from my browser. I tried to log in a few times with no success & then gave up. A few seconds later, I received 3 emails (because I logged into the fake site 3 times) saying that I had changed my password, and was this ok? Of course it wasn't. I've submitted a ticket to steam, but I wanted to let CHZ know, don't be retarded like me, check the url. Here's the url I was sent to, don't go there, I just want to share it. www.steamcomunitty.hd1.com.br/So, I'm out of the game until this is fixed.  OHHHH!! and if you get an IM from me, IT"S NOT ME. I can't get into my account. I'll let ya'll know when that changes. |

I was very nearly taken in I'm ashamed to say. Thank god that steam came up saying 'this is not an approved steam site'  |

It's very embarrassing to be tricked like that. Being a user of Vista, I'm so used to ignoring warnings that I didn't even pay attention to the box that popped up.

Hahaha that is awesome meglo. I got the same message from Ms 19 and went okay sure, clicked it and ignored the warning like always but... My lazyness saved my ass here because I saw the page and went "fuck me, I am WAY too lazy to do this... sorry Ms 19" When I got the same message from sqrlking I looked into it a little bit and realized the ruse because of the little .hg or whatever is in the link. So I promptly closed the window and forgot about it. I figured it was some weird virus, but I guess its worse. Hope it gets fixed soon man, and dont worry about it, happens to the best of us sometimes. see you around... EDIT: support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?p_faqid=197 here is a support page for you in case you need to look into it. |

I feel horrible that this may have effected other people. I still don't have a response from steam, and I have a feeling I'm a little fucked here, so I'm starting a new account.
Unlockable acquisitions, begin!

I got my account back. I used the same link FIGbird found. Any IM you receive from me should now really be me.
