"We have recorded that your account has been used by multiple IP addresses which is in violation of Valve’s subscriber agreement"

What a moron!!!! That is the entire selling point of Steam. You can go anywhere and access your Steam Account from anywhere with any IP address on any PC. I hope nobody fell for that since Steam is completely the opposite of what they tried to say.

That's not the worst attempt I've seen. A legitimate Steam link, passable grammar, and it even mentions contacting Steam support (though it says to do so after the part that would get your info stolen, it's enough to probably trick more people into thinking it's legit).

Thanks for posting the head-up.

I jus lol at the fact that people go thru the time to attempt to steal steam accounts... their so easy to recover, and you can jus torrent any of the games anyway.

Think about it.

You manage to steal just one account, sell it to someone in person or online before the person you stole it from finds out, leave and make a profit.

All you need is one sucker out of the 25 million active steam accounts out there to make some easy cash.

I dunno whos the bigger sucker, the kid who unknowingly gives his account away, or the jackass who buys a stolen account

The sad thing is people actually fall for this crap :shadedshu

A) link is dead, it does nothing.
B) when it WAS active, simply going there was not dangerous. entering your info and submitting to them was - so clicky alone not dangerous

Haha

This is a pretty lame attempt to some I've seen, but then most of the ones I've seen have been for MMO accounts and such, people try harder with them because they can sell for A LOT sometimes.

 

[Widjaja]

Yes people do fall for this and more than once
There is a customer who's kid wanted me to install MW2 for him as he had no success installing it. (apparently)

So I told them the product key was already in use and need to contact steam about this with the appropriate details.

Instead they bought another copy of MW2 and ignored my warnings.

You know what?

The new product key was eventually stolen too.
