swaveboard SKREECH))) Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ive gotten more than a hundred adds in the hours within posting this and the people all say phishers redirected them to my account. Techno, Ansok1, Long Shlong John, Romanbespalov, [unassigned] http://scr.hu/18hm/bfrkg, http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198091674247/ , http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198133155039/ , http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198010948471/ , Cyber, Bula, DarkHawk, Edvinator, Sir Douchebag [NL] and Sandman are some of many of the phishers named. They are the average phishers, adding people who have just bumped their Outpost or Backpack.tf classifieds listing. Hi. My friend want to trade with you.Add him. *FAKE STEAM WEBSITE NAME* /id/swaveboard http://imgur.com/GTWbVUR,lSZPsnH,UILbp0A http://imgur.com/GTWbVUR,lSZPsnH,UILbp0A#1 http://imgur.com/GTWbVUR,lSZPsnH,UILbp0A#2 ^ People spotting the scams, one falling for it but changing his password and enabling steam guard after I told him to, one completely getting his account hijacked. Boom gone just like that. ValvE take action please. Thanks for Do's great solution and everyones encouragement and reassurance! I hope to get those mother------s all banned! For reference (Do's solution): 1) DO NOT click the link, it's a phisher trying to scam you, did you click the link? 2) I do NOT sell/buy the items, it was a phisher/scammer who tried to scam you for the items. If they clicked - 3) Did you log in? If you did - reset your password, make sure you got Steam Guard activated and/or your email registered to your Steam account and change them. If you didn't click, just simply report them by going to their profile and click "report" Thanks and stay safe from there phishers. Have a nice day! Update: My steam asked me to verify email. Fucking worried now. Verified email and used my handphone in case there was any key logger or whatever shit. Paranoid to hell now. Pls. Ban. Those. Sons of bitches.

Neilhart Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Please I have been in trading for a year already. Hey, your bro told me you wanted to trade, but you couldn't add me. Nothing will happen, people must know already that what matters is the link itself, not the profile at the end of it. Also, if someone tried to phish like this, that person would have to be extremely dumb to put his real profile there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yepp, happend to me too. As I got accused and many people spammed me with "what do I do" I simply made 2 easy copy paste (you can edit and make them similar or whatever you prefer having) 1) DO NOT click the link, it's a phisher trying to scam you, did you click the link? 2) I do NOT sell/buy the items, it was a phisher/scammer who tried to scam you for the items. If they clicked - 3) Did you log in? If you did - reset your password, make sure you got Steam Guard activated and/or your email registered to your Steam account and change them. If you didn't click, just simply report them by going to their profile and click "report" That saved me a lot of time, I had 200+ people adding me during that time. I think enough reports made the phisher link got removed/banned? So I just had this issue for a day, make sure you help as many as possible and REPORT the phisher. If you need more assistance, do not hesistate to add me or PM me. Edit: [swaveboard] added me and requested for assistance, this has been (semi)-resolved. Also, if anyone else or [swaveboard] need further assistance or questions - do not hesistate to add me and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
