another round of Steam scamms

Post by Ztranier »

Warning this is serious!!!!!

There is a next gen of the well known Steam account jacking going on.

This time its about a CSGO team logo to vote for, which is showing a purple and white Lion head facing left (at least it was in my cases)
Do not click it!!!!

The only thing you can do is to report that account to Steam and tell them its got corrupted

I'd recommend to everyone that you make a note of your Steam ID. You can find this here https://steamid.io/

You DO NOT need to use the Sign in with Steam option.
Fall forward. Sometimes, it’s the best way to figure out where you’re going. Never be discouraged, never hold back, give everything you got, and when you fall throughout life remember this: fall forward. Denzil Washington

We’re not the avatars we create. We’re not the pictures on the film stock. We are the light that shines through. All else is just smoke and mirrors. Distracting, but not truly compelling. Jim Carrey

I'd recommend not randomly clicking any thing when you are 3 sheets to the wind.

Fair enough BigBill, thats a brilliant point dear Sir

But since some of us have more experience with those momentary lapse of reasons than most of the members, its still worth mentioning it imo
