Steamworks 95 Report post Posted September 3, 2015 I thought these kinds of phishes had more or less gone extinct. I haven't seen one of those in the wild in ages. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I nuke everything else on sight.Yeah, if the profile is private, then I block you outright. If I can't link you in some way to any of my other friends/groups/servers I regular, I'll usually ignore you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aura 1 Report post Posted September 7, 2015 Too bad there are too many suckers out there who will fall for it. I remember getting hit with one of these back when the Koobface Virus was circulating on Facebook. Fell for it, but at least the damage wasn't too big.

From time to time it slows down, only to hand you over 5 friend requests on the next day.I now started with profiling: Every name that isn't familiar and has a steam level below 5 is instantly banned.However thanks for the screeny, always wondered how the scam looks like. I like how they changed "steamcommunity" to "steamcommumilty" to get you on a phishing site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
