Title: Steam Scammer
Post by: Rinso on June 25, 2009, 01:03:57 AM

It seems as though there is someone in the FITES group on Steam that is trying to get people's Steam log-ins with some bogus warning.  I doubt anyone here would fall for it, but I figured I'd give a heads up anyhow.  The name was something like "::" I believe.

"#" tried to get mine last night. Wanted me to go to some .tk site and enter my info.

Can you remember any other info about them (an avatar or lack thereof) that we can try to track down who it was.

Edit: Nevermind, I think I found him. He joined and then left right away. Is this the man you saw: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198011299608 (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198011299608)

Anyone who was contacted by this person/account, visit the above link and use the link in the upper left to report a violation.

I was looking for a way to forcefully remove a member of the group, but I didn't see how to do it. Maybe you can't do that with a public group, only the "Invite Only" groups, which I don't want to switch to.

As I was looking through the memberships, there is another account called "GiftFreeGame (http://steamcommunity.com/id/76561198003113337)" that is also flagged as a scammer account, so beware of this one as well.
