Watch out for hackers

[Peter Brev]

A random guy added me on Steam and tryed to hack my Steam account and my email informations by using a random Steam key that would give you games.
I tested it under proxy and on a spare account and it is an obvious fake.
I still got my original account, but just to warn you, don't let you be fucked.

Was it just like any other key?

Looks like it is, but he got my spare account.
I don't care about it, it got 0 games and the email was one I created.
So it's not a big deal.

hmmm... can you send it to me on pm/steam?

So wait, did he ask you for your email in exchange for the key, or did the key itself trigger a password change in your fake account?

No, he added me, he gave me the key, I said I don't trust it, he said it wasn't fake, I said ok, later, he deleted me, about 30 sec after, I went under proxy, went to create a new email, a new Steam acc, then tryed the key, he got both email and Steam acc.
I will write to Steam and I have reported him to Steam already for attempt to hack Steam Account.
I still got my real account, so I'm still alive.

Great, steam has become microsoft.

[Peter Brev]

To sum up:
He looked my profile, saw all my items, badges and all games, and he probably wanted to get me, but I'm smart enough!

believe me, many MANY of the GR admins already fell for this. there was a period of time where the admin section was full of "my account got hacked"-threads. kind of pathetic, to be honest

[Peter Brev]

And they never got their 24 games either.

I don't understand how a steam key can give him access to your account...

[Xseba360]

i don't understand as well as you, mate. That's why I told him to report it to support, DIRECTLY, not through the report button.

god , then what Steam Guard is supposed to do ?
