There's a phishing infection bot/impersonator going around where your supposed friend (using your friends account) says that this is their second account.

They will say something around like do you know what they've said about you in the forum and post a link.

DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK.

The url does not contain https but instead just http and read the word "community" carefully. It's not spelled as community but instead some thing like comunity or equivalent.

Example of the url is http steamcomunity.bit/0as. (and no, don't link it. It's just an example.)

The URL might vary so be wary + it just happened to me.

That is all.


EDIT : Further proof of the same thing happening to other people. IMGUR link from /r/tf2

Link to thread on /r/tf2 on reddit


EDIT 2 : The link contains the phrase conmumity


EDIT 3 : Steamrep report

EDIT 4 : Please take note of any bracketed numbers. For example my account's display name is Sharky-chan while the phisher might have Sharky-chan (2). Grab a screen shot and post it on the link to steamrep. The more people get to know about this the better.

thanks for the advice

Can someone sticky this thread at least for a while so that it doesn't get buried? I feel that having your steam account hijacked for phishing is very bad.

thanks.

erm i no buka steam client nowadays though.

No worries. I'm just trying to prevent someone's acc from being phished. Seasoned traders like you shouldn't need to worry but juts in case.

wow lol retard people.

too busy with D3?

hahah yeah

Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up.

thanks

thanks for the tip.

Does this affect those account that is not log in for long time such as mine one?

Seriously , I've seen this trick before. Simple as that. If the link is not a steam community link I am not clicking at all. Then it would ask for your steam username/password. Enter and poof your account is gone

Update on this. Another person or it could be the same guy going around again.
