Thanks for the warning guys! Appreciate it.
Unfortunately I did click the link and saw a number was added to my steam account. I have changed passwords and logged out of all devices. Changed my email as well. Going to run a virus scan now, any other suggestions?

Thatâs how I got nabbed - the message was from a very long standing member of Steam, that Iâd trust. The secondary account not their main, but the person does use both.
Canât believe how fast this stuff can snowball and I feel really bad to have contributed to this, though certainly I didnât create this message or start sending them. I didnât send a single one to any of the folk on my friendsâ list. Just woke up this morning and saw my chat alight.

Apologies for the troubles guys - itâs sending as me because I did click thinking it was a legit message from an old friend.

@rakada Wasnât 100% that day and donât hear from my friend too often, so didnât know it was a scam. He didnât post it either as that account was last online 3 weeks ago when I checked. Iâve no idea where that link originated.
I just got the same pop-up message supposedly sent from people on my Steam friendsâ list⌠No idea whatâs really going on.
Some people have reported to Valve - maybe they can block it or something.

I got that from him too, just now - he wouldnât have sent it though. Itâs some Russian scam thing.

So how is this all happening? Someone clicked a link they shouldnât have and their accounts got hijacked? :o
EDIT
Scrolling chat threads, I really dislike themâŚ
I see how it happened. Yikes.

@Fanzo I thought Connect to Steam link is broken, because it doesnât work for the Microids site either⌠Microids is a legitimate developer/publisher. (as far as I know) Connecting to Steam stopped working on their site a long while ago.

trust me i know the feeling; i got a $30 cs go ak-47 skin stolen by a âfriendâ once and lost 2 knives worth over $200 to a âtrading siteâ; it was rly well done, the whole site was a scam but seemed legit as it was the first result on Google and looked vry professional and had a lot of traffic⌠(stupid little me looked over the fact that it was a sponsored link on Google, but F Google for accepting sponsorships by scam sites, though that does clearly illustrate how professional the site looked as iâm sure they wouldnât accept it if it didnât at least look legit)

Guess we all make mistakes from time to time. The only thing we can do is learn from them and warn others. Kinda wish I had come here first today instead of checking steam firstâŚah well, steam will hopefully help me sort this out.

I wish you, me and anyone who lost/loses their account luck in regaining accessâŚhopefully soon.
On a side noteâŚI wonder how long it will take for Valve to start responding to the support request with the new year nearly upon us.
