I've received several messages from steam friends providing a phishing link. I've included the edited link, as well some pics that will hopefully help people determine the difference between a fake link and the real thing.

Yourname.9hz.com! Free url forwarding/redirection (http://steamcommunity_com_viewprofile1944062141831xxx.9hz .com/) [link edited]



1) Screen shot of the fake page. As you can see, it's made to look like a steam login page but is in fact not.

2)You can determine the authenticity of the page in question by right clicking> View Page info. As you can see, the page in question is not registered with Valve (Owner=none) and does not have any security signing. Verisign usually costs $100+ a month to register, and most scammers won't even bother.

3) Actual steam community page. The Verisign security ticket is viewable and registered to Valve.

Viewing the above link will not cause your account to be hi-jacked; supplying your user name/pw will, however. 99% of steam account hi-jacks are user error. If you don't want to lose your account, do some research before logging into any linked site.

Oh okay, you made a typo, and Mew isnt an admin. Unless he's under a different name on the bansite.

I think this might have happened to James as well. . .

Dot removed his admin already.

Sorry guys...I did fall for this phishing site...Mew2 was the person i got the message from in case nobody else got it from him. I know he was probably hit too. I am back on my account again and have changed my password. Noogy, that really was me talking to you and its understandable that you had your doubts. Ill post again if anything suspicious happens to my account again

Ill post again if anything suspicious happens with my account again. has anyone contacted mew or know if he got his account back?

damn, idk how people can fall for this crap. not calling people stupid/dumbasses, but they need to be a little more careful with their steam acct. i've had "h4x0rs" msg me this shit, i usually chuckle and ignore. or if im feeling like messin with some close friends i copy n paste it to em and add a special msg like "also get free sex" or somethin lame like that, i"ve think i have done this to dot :P lol. anyways guys, please watch out for these phising sites and post em on here like ender(<--- so hawt) ;)

Army I was not ignoring you, I was AFK.

I re-added your admin back on the ban-site, but if someone removed it on zm, then you have to get nat, sio, or ender to set you back up.

messages from me? how the hell is that possible? I haven't logged off or shut down my computer since I posted that about ArmyRanger yesterday. there's no way some ass could use my account especially since I don't click any links from steam chat from anyone.
