Hmmm...something really wierd happened to me on steam the other day:
Someone called STEAM-VAC added me as a friend...I have on my profile just add me as you wish so I accepted, thinking it was just some dude who decided to act upon that.
He sent me a message in french, so i told him i speak English. He sent the message again semi-translated and barely understandable. It read:
Hello this is STEAM-VAC we need your password et user nom cause we have detected a trojan (french word) virus (french word) account...if you don't give us the information we will (french word) your account.
I was like...say what!?
He re-sent it in better English...and basically he wanted my password and user-name because of a threat of virus attatched to my acount...and if i didn't he would shut my accoiunt down.
On impulse I blocked communication with this guy. Have heard/seen nothing since.
So..was he staff? Or some prick messing around?
EDIT: just thought...wouldn't be impossible for a virus to link to my ACCOUNT?
I thought at the time: if he was staff he wouldn't need to add me as friend, right? He would just message/email me no matter what.
Wierd stuff
