So I restarted steam and as soon as its up this popped up. These people go all out to try and make it look legit. I think I "might" know who it is, last night on one of the reg servers I play on. One of the reg players tried to get me to add them to the friends list and I did, now I got this crap. Just sad

haha thats a good 1 :p

I love those crazy scams people come up with, like the 1 with a credit card
please enter your credit number to see if it was stolen :)
 
Wow, that just reeks of people trying too hard to sound professional, and failing.

I also love how they ALWAYS use the "multiple IP" thing, as if you can't log onto a single steam account from more than one computer. :|


Edit: Plus the automatic (genuinely automatic) steam notice at the top that says (in bold and underlined, mind you) "Never tell your password to anyone" sort of gives things away :S

I do enjoy how "Immediate Action" is capitalized. For all the official-sounding jargon, some people still can't write a proper paragraph.

I still think they should present the "don't tell your password to anyone" phrase at the top in bright red letters. As it is it almost goes unnoticeable, which is never a good thing.

I dunno, maybe I'm the abnormal one. It just seems to fade into the background for me, although I guess aside from putting it in some vibrant color, it's more noticeable than being the color of the regular text.
 
a few months back, i had an email from some guy jamesbubbah@ whatever.com ......

telling me that they needed my steam information for "generic fake reason"


usually when i run across one of these scammers i give them false information..... gets their hopes up.

then they cry.
