[LilAznRYDA]

I got this email today and started to read it and thought it was really from steam so i was beginning to give the information but then started thinking about it... can anyone tell me if its real or not?


Dear Steam User,

We have been having recurring problems with multiple user(s) signing on to the same account, ergo; several people using the same account from different IP Addresses at the same time. In order to prevent this, we are authorizing a validation process, in which you, the contact e-mail registered to Steam, e-mail us a code in which you authorize everytime you login to ensure that no one shares your account. To validate your account within the next 5 days (otherwise it will be deleted), respond to this e-mail steam.support@hotmail.com in the following format;

Username:
Password:
Code:

IMPORTANT: You must enter the above information into the Steam
application.

Signed,

The Steam Support Team

Its probably just like the scam where they ask for your social security number etc. Look at the sites privacy policy and see if they never ask for your pass or something, if not your screwed :-\

[Brandon]

alot of people reported it, there is tons of diffrent types

 

[Jimbo]

meh,its a @hotmail account,so its a scam,dont trust it

Not only is it a hotmail email account, but no valve member would ask you for any CD keys via email.

 

[Egotistical Asshole]

Yeah, we can all sue them and get like 1.8 million dollars to work on BF with, like cash prizes and things, lol.

 

[Gimmi]

you should send a fake everyhting, and sue them and say you lost your cdkey and sue for like emotional trauma.
you can do shit like that in america

 

[Drixx]

Emotional trauma? Damn...I am in Canada.

Anything asking for your username, password, or any details via email is 99% likely to be a scam.*

i think you can get some legal action going here.

try this:

forward the email to hotmail, asking for an ip adress of the user, and then forward all this to the police. im sure they can do something about it because its like identity fraud. if they dont, forward it to steam, they might do something about it(but a lot of companies are lazy and wont do anything about it other than telling you to never hand out your username and pw) since you bought the software, i would assume its against the law so maybe you can get some legal action going against the perpetrators.

My dad has this site to report scams ill ask him for it via email. ill pm it to you and but there is a slight flaw in it, do you pay to play steam? if not u cant sue or report but if yes u can do both^^
