PootisWorker Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I myself have never been a victim nor ever been targeted by phishers. So I'm glad but sad at the same time, maybe my bp isn't worth it :c Anyway, it's k to click the links but don't sign in at all. But if you ever come across a .rar file then don't even think about clicking it o3o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toastshpee Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have have three of these in the last two days. the first one i actually clicked on the link but nothing happened.. If it was a Link from somebody like that, I wouldn't be sure it did "nothing". Phishing links can do way more then get your steam account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woifi The Viking Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 3 Phishers yesterday, I just report them directly to valve using the report feature on each profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roller Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Too lazy to Block / Report. Just let them run free 0:-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
λngelღмander Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Not to patronize you, but I get around five or six of these a DAY. From different people some of the time, other times the same one. I started keeping count of this one phisherman account. Its name is Digital Claw, and I think its added me 10 times or more. I don't bother blocking them, because I've begun to memorize their names and their patterns, so I just ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you ever come across a .rar file then don't even think about clicking it o3o Or you could just not click any suspicious links at all. I don't know, just a thought... you might live longer. I had 5 phishers today, probably wanting my burning view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Radiated Banana Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I get at least 1 a day, i suggest just block and report them via their steam profile. (Truth be told im too lazy for this... *aint nobody got time for that* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=NickFury= Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 When SteamRep changed their policy in November, I started to report them via profile page directly too. Picked one guy back then and checked back every 2-3 days to see if anything would come from the report, but after 2 weeks I gave up on both checking and reporting, since absolutely nothing happened and it made me sick to see how Steam Support seemed to give absolutely zero fucks. By now, I just remove them. A block makes no sense to me unless it's an obvious alt, I don't want to end up blocking someone forever who only had his account hijacked.
