CAUTION!!! BeWARE OF NEW WAY TO GET YOUR ACCOUNT JACKED!!!

[Dioroxic]

-Beware of FAKE STEAM COMMUNITYS. Hackers are sending them around to people and they look normal like www.steamcommunity.com (http://www.steamcommunity.com), but then they have weird symbols and numbers at the end.

-BEWARE IF A FRIEND SENDS IT TO YOU ON STEAM. Hackers will hack your friends account and then send you the link and say "hey man check this out" or something like that. It might not actually be your friend.

-BE CAUTIOUS

Q: What if it happens to me?

A: go to the steam support page (https://support.steampowered.com/) and get them to reset your password.

Just make sure you dont type ur account name and pass in on those fake sites. They ask you to log in, but really its just going to get your info and send it to someones e-mail or something.

I know this is a new kind of way to get your account jacked because it happened to me and a friend of mine. We are all good though thanks to the support letting us get our passes reset.

EDIT: Aparently most of these sites (if not all) end in .tk. I dont remember what the one that got my account jacked was, but it was probably .tk

[Steve Cloud]

Stickied.

(Left it in Main so it is more likely to be seen.)

[horse_sweater]

Scary, Thanks for letting us know. I wouldn't want that happening to me..

[LordBhorak]

I actually saw one of these spammers spamming in the 411 community chat in Steam. Reptile was faster than a speeding reptile and banned his ass, tho...

The site ended with the free ".tk", so never ever trust those site anyways. They're the "free" domains, everyone can get. A kind of publicity stunt from Tokelau

[FaceGrater]

Thats more fishing. I never click links in steam unless I'm 100% positive it wont screw me over. Thanks for the info though, I'll be extra careful.

[Suman]

I got 1 some time ago from a random person, he sent me a link to a site named steamcommmunity.com
I think you see why it's fake: steamcommmunity.
There's 3 m's, don't enter it and Don't enter your Username or Password.

But I've also gotten many of the "Get Free Steam Games Here" and they ended with a .tk

[Steve Cloud]

Basically, if anyone just randomly posts a link to what looks like Steam Community, don't click it and especially don't enter your info there.

[Suman]

Basically, if anyone just randomly posts a link to what looks like Steam Community, don't click it and especially don't enter your info there.

Yes, that was what I meant to say, I just wanted to explain it all, I don't know why.

[Stakhanov]

Well , not a lot of reasons to use firefox instead of the steam browser to visit steam community pages. Said browser will only show links to valve's sites so there is zero risk afaik.

[UKMD Elmo]

Thanks Dioroxic, 'tis good to be wary.

[TheHidden]

Thanks for the warning.

Also, if you use another browser, than the steam integrated one (which some of us will have to do, if they check those sites from work or similar), note that the original steamcommunity.com page will ALWAYS redirect you to a secure server (as noted by the https://).
At least FF3 will show you the identification of the site as "Valve Corporation (US)", in the navigation bar.
If any of this is missing, it's DEFINITELY not the steamcommunity.

[darkmessiah]

Youtube and porn. That's all I accept.

[Boojangels]

Fun Fact:

Steam chat has a white list (As you should know) where all steam sites are added (Along with other trusted sites like youtube). If you don't know what this means, if I send you a link from an official steam/valve page, a dialog box will NOT pop up (The one that says "Are you sure you want to go to this page?"). Going to those fake websites will make the dialog box pop-up, and that is your cue to GTFO.

[lawlhat]

Thank you for this.

[Failfox]

It's not hacking, it's stealing.
They can't hack your computer through steam.
They steal your accounts if you are so stupid that you try to login in those sites, and then you will lose your account.

[Stuffinator]

It's not hacking, it's stealing.
It's phishing!

[SupremeHumanBeing]

How is this new?

This is alos not hacking. This is phishing. They mislead you to believe that you are entering your details into a legit Steam website.

You can only lose your account if you are a total idiot. Never use your steam network username and password except in Steam.

Never click on links from people you don't trust.

Losing your Steam account can only be your fault and not some l33t haxxor with epic skillz and bulsshit like that.

There are thousands of these sites out there. If you use FireFox, you can report a website to the FF community. Next update will include this website and future users will be warned.

[DethPenguin]

How is this new?

Agreed. I thought this was always how people jacked your account? I remember clicking on one, and good ol' FireFox told me something among the lines of: "This site is impersonating an official website and has been logged for: phishing."

[binge]

I hardly accept group invites so I'm probably safe

[Obama Yo Momma]

Yeah the admins in the steam community chat are always in chat. You should see our banlist.

[H4yd3n]

I had my account stolen by fake steam community page. Glad you made a post about it to let people know. I got my account back in 2 days btw.

[Pwnan OBrien]

This exact shit happened to me a friend I trusted sent me a link to steamcommunityrank.tk and told me I could check all my gaming stats for the past 3 years it sounded cool and the website had the exact same steampowered layout and graphics it looked really official so I tired to log in, it didnt work but 10 mins later my account was jacked luckily I still had my old hl2 sleeve with the cd key on it. I emailed a pic of it to VAVLE and got my account back in like 3 days so yeah dont be a nub like me be aware.

wish i knew about tk sites before hand but like i said im a nub so flame on

[Pwnan OBrien]

I had my account stolen by fake steam community page. Glad you made a post about it to let people know. I got my account back in 2 days btw.

Sucks right? I kept wondering if when i did get it back would it be vac banned or not.

[Sniper Wolf]

Seems like that Firefox does not like steamcommunity.tk, phishing site alert, nor does SiteAdvisor.

[one of them]

Everything with .TK is hosted for free.
http://www.dot.tk/en/index.html?lang=en

[DethPenguin]

Pretty obvious really. Steam doesn't just release new websites out of the blue and tell you about it randomly in a chat. Steam/Valve doesn't need the assistance of free web hosting. Steam/Valve doesn't go around on youtube comments telling their users about free content.

[shadowstreak]

I got it a week ago, laughed my ass off, almost replied "Your fucking retarded, you think I would fall for this stupid crap?"
But I felt he would spam me more so I decided not to reply

[REDSHARK_]

this is way too late...

the steam community trick was used weeks ago

[Sniper Wolf]

Steamcommunity.tk has just disappeared, now it is one of those generic "Search Pages" that appear when you try to access a free domain.

[Keptron]

I shat brix, it had a 50% chance to get me, I think.

[jeff67]

Thanks ill watch out for it.

[T5seconds]

i went there and tyepd

[polkunus]

These Pshing sites ARE NO WHERE NEAAAARRRR new. This has been going on ever since the internet was alive. It's just in another concept.

I thought people were too smart for this kind of stuff.

1. View source on steamcommunities
2. Copy Pasta
3. Make website, buy domain
4. Make a separate FTP server
5. Tell people to join you or "check it out"
6. (It's a gaming community so it's an easier target.)

[Supremacy]

It's funny how they say 'Do not give your password to anyone else' at the top of the chat box. But yet the hacker is asking for your password.

[one of them]

I ran into one of these guys.
They said "Join my Steam Community Group" and linked me to steamcommunity/blahblah.tk and it asked me to log in. It looked exactly like the real website, but I was smarter than that. I see how it can get you though.

I just got a chat invite from steam user bust to help. Aliases hust to help. He asked me what games I liked, I said Left 4 Dead. He sends me a link. It asks me for my steam password and username, and I X out of it and ask him what it is. He tells me it's a website that can help me get L4D for free. I told him to go to hell. Keep an eye out 411erz.

I merged your thread with this sticky. The best thing to do is just to report him and move on. Pointing out individual people isn't very effective, considering the size of Steam's userbase.

[shadowstreak]

He is a member of 411, on the 2nd page.

Never tell your password to anyone.

Btw, no clickable links to malicious websites, please.

As far as I know most of the group's mods can't kick from the group, only from the chat. You would have to talk to squerl, but it's hardly worth the effort, in my opinion. There are just that many scammers.

dudes....i almost got scammed to....i was playing L4D and my friend said "Hey dude i found the L4D2 beta and its so awesome u should try it :D"and i said sure and i clicked the link....and it said to put in my pass and id and i X out of it and said "dude u fuker" and the next day...he was out of my friends list xD

A new scenario they use is something about a Steam Hardware Promotion with Intel. They say they give away free Portal games to all Intel users. They link you to a site that included intel-steampowered.co.cc and it looks very convincing.

Shit happens, like you said, people just get caught off guard. A long time ago I clicked a bad link and ended up with a trojan on my PC, which meant reinstalling the entire PC.

[Tyr]

Here's my tip for never ever getting hacked ever.

Never give your login information to ANYONE. There are no "free game" deals and if there were it wouldn't be worth it. There is no-one on your account so Valve don't need to "confirm that you are the rightful owner of this account". There is no reason ever to give your login information to anyone. So don't.

[one of them]

I follow that rule too, but you see, I THOUGHT I was giving information to VALVE. I would never PM info to someone or anything like that, it was like I was logging into Steam.

[Mini Moose]

Here's my tip for never ever getting hacked ever.

Half-Life 2: DM is free if you have a ATI graphics card.

[Tyr]

I follow that rule too, but you see, I THOUGHT I was giving information to VALVE. I would never PM info to someone or anything like that, it was like I was logging into Steam.
That's how they got me too, like you I imagine it was just a window of brainfart where you're suggestive - you see what looks like a steam login thing and type your info in, it's almost a reflex. Still, "never give to anyone" means anyone, including Valve. Why would they need your login info anyway? They already have it.

And Mini Moose: HL2: DM isn't worth it.

[darkmessiah]

Here's my tip for never ever getting hacked ever.

I got a free game, but sometimes I can't login to my account...

Well, now that I think about it, when I link you to stuff out of the blue, it's usually Youtube or Wegame or a thread. When we're talking, that's when I usually do other sites, usually for downloading things or giving you information for something.

lol "Have fun whit STEAM"

[Jesus123]

lol "Have fun whit STEAM"

I lol'd at it saying, "Note: Must have one game in account"

[KashMunni]

I had my account stolen once. It took like, almost a month and a half to get it back. I had maybe $100 + worth of games in it. No fun.

[N0sySh00ter]

I have never had an account hacked before. I just always forgot the pass and assumed I was being hacked..

[Jesus123]

I had my account stolen once. It took like, almost a month and a half to get it back. I had maybe $100 + worth of games in it. No fun.

I think I have like $500+ of games on my account currently.

[Deadly]

I think I have like $500+ of games on my account currently.
$1664.18 USD

But Kenny beats us all, and didn't we recently do this?

[InstantDeath]

I got my steam account hacked once, I e-mailed Steam Support on Wednesday, they responded by Thursday with instructions. I followed the instructions and had my account back in my possession and working perfectly by Friday.

IMO Steam Support is really good compared to some other companies I've had to do something with. Either I got really lucky or people are too impatient.

[Deadly]

people are too impatient.

There's your problem

[Stuffinator]

IMO Steam Support is really good
only if your account got hacked. apart from that steam support wasn't very satisfying for me.

Stuffinator: "Hi, why is The Last Remnant not in the Square Enix Eidos Pack for Germany, but for USA?"

Steam Support: "Hi, this Game is not in the Pack for Germany."

[Nuttz]

I've had my account stolen once, but I logged onto my other account and guilt tripped him into giving it back. Shit was cash.

[Sarah]

I got hacked once, but then I convinced him to find Christ and he gave it back to me as part of his rebirth. Shit was cash.

[YuriTMND]

I never got hacked once because I'm not retarded enough to give away my password. O mann, dat chit wa sooo ca$h.

[N0sySh00ter]

I never did find out my old password for my n0sysh00ter steam account. I did steam's instructions. But I'm not very patient with doing anything.. So I just gave up :-)
Shit was cash.

[DTard]

I got mine jacked a while ago. BlackCat should remember, I used my old account to talk with her.
I sent Valve bank records of my purchases, emails, all sorts of things on Monday, 1pm. By Monday 11pm I had it back.

[Bloodshed269]

If anyone "jacked" my account, they would be sorely disappointed.

[Deadly]

I don't want to have to lock this thread but I will if you get any more off-topic.

[DTard]

Who's getting off topic? O_o

Ok, I admit, I lol'd.

On-Topic: DON'T GET YOUR ACCOUNT JACKED!!!

[killerkid745]

1/4 of my friends got hacked and sending me the auto-matic messages for the free games.... seriously not many people are bright

[Stuffinator]

1/4 of my friends got hacked and sending me the auto-matic messages for the free games.... seriously not many people are bright
Or your friends aren't bright.

As far as I know only one of my friendslist got hacked.

[Easton Dark]

Luckily verified email screwed over my guy quite heartily.

I laughed at his dishonor. Ha Ha.

And now my superdynamegagigantosuperduperlupersecret password is in place.

Oh and it's definately not superdynamegagigantosuperduperlupersecret

[killerkid745]

superdynamegagigantosuperduperlupersecret

wow.... that would be a AWESOME password. to bad i cant remember something that long well.

[Deadly]

I forgot who it was, but someone stole my friend's account and then gifted a game to himself. What a more on

[killerkid745]

???? isnt the point of stealing a account is to get the games? not steal the account then give the account MORE games..
what a on more.

[Stuffinator]

no the point of stealing an account is to use this account to steal more accounts and later to sell or trade those accounts.

[Deadly]

Someone from Plat's GHC tf2 server group just tried to steal my account.
The funny part was, the link was to "freehats.tk" TK...
11:54 AM - renG: Hi! You Need Free TF2 Hats? <Link Removed>
11:54 AM - Deadly: Oh sure.
11:54 AM - Deadly: What do I have to do?
11:56 AM - Deadly: Okay I selected it
11:56 AM - Deadly: Says wron login?
11:56 AM - Deadly: wrong*
11:56 AM - Deadly: Does this mean I won't get it now?


After that, I started a voice chat with him and he answers.

Me: It said wrong login and won't let me select a hat now, does this mean I won't get it? I just want the fez.

Him: Oooooh My goooooooooooooooood
*Hangs up*

So I called back...
...and again...
...and again...
...and again...

He finally answers

Me: I'm serious, I want my hat!

Him: STOP BOTHERING ME

*Offline*

[Paradox Viper]

So did you get your hat?

[nerVe]

I take the "STOP BOTHERING ME" as a no.

[Paradox Viper]

Don't be silly.

[Zombie Hunter]

If its anything like the stuff on MSN then he wouldnt of even known that message was sent. He prob thought you just wanted to talk then another person talking about free hats.

[REDSHARK]

I take the "STOP BOTHERING ME" as a no.

He's testing Deadly's devotion to getting a hat. Deadly needs to remain vigilant and pursue him to the ends of the earth, it's what the man is looking for in a steam user.

[Deadly]

I would have but he went offline.

[nerVe]

Follow him to the depths of Mordor!

For those who use steam trading, you should check this out:

New Scam! Do Not Click Links! (http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2trade/comments/s0h1z/new_scam_do_not_click_links/)

Basically don't click any links while you're in the trade window, because it's possible to gain control of the trade and the inventory of others via web scripts. Worst case scenario would be, you lose all your items, games, guest passes that you have in your inventory.

[Elite]

TF2 trade is serious business.

[Stuffinator]

Of course it is. There are people who make around $1000 every month by scamming and then trading those items for money.

And it's not only TF2, theoretically this scam method can be used to obtain games as well.

[Elite]

I'd rather just rip other people's videos on youtube and make money off of them.

[Stuffinator]

You will be spammed with hate comments, your videos will get flagged and as soon as 3 of your videos get removed, because of rule violation, your account will be closed.

Good luck getting money like that.

[one of them]

My account was banned for 2 violations.
Both violations were the Hitler video.

Then how does RWJ do it?

[Deadly]

He doesn't claim credit for them, but he provides his own commentary.

[BlackCat]

He's like... 'The Soup' of YouTube.

[nerVe]

You mean "The Shit" of YouTube.

[Elite]

He's a genius thats what he is.
