They are getting better.

I received this in steam today

Obviously a scam but I wanted to see how good it was. I followed the link to this website. Very nicely done, almost an exact replica of steam.

I can say I am honestly impressed. GJ Account theifs!
Watch out they might start getting even better then this.

you can download a bunch of games, easily and break the activation/security, then torrent the games.

easiest way to pirate a game. then you can sell the games for $ instead of $$... really rampant in other parts of the world. In the states its a ton harder.

But when I was in arabia, you were crazy to buy a game non pirated... these guys would wander around selling them everywhere for what was basically $5.

If you use swiss cheese for security, possibly. There could be an exploit for your specific browser to execute some code..

Or you could use linux/OSX and laugh at the attempt to install a trojan.

Yeah, that was one of the things that surprised me. It links you to steam if you click on any of the links.
