New type of scam

So whats the scam, I don't know what g2a is ;-;

Don't see the scam..seems phishy though

Seems the usual type of scam. Hijacked profile adds you and sends you a link. Or a hijacked friend sends you a link.

Don't open it, but if you do and it downloads a file, definitely don't open the file.

The same happened to me from another account.
I wouldn't say it's a scam, sounds more like phishing to me.

Anyone that opened a link like that should change the steam password as soon as possible.

Nothing new, just a generic phishing link. People should know by now to never click unusual links from people they don't know.

Just never ever add someone with private profile :v

+1 for playing F.E.A.R. Extraction Point. Great game. Great expansion!

So what is the link? I visited it and there's nothing there.

new as f***. i saw that even in 2009 and keep seeing till now (fortunately much rarely)

Got similar thing. I added him to see what he was going to try and pull. NEVER click a link from anyone you don't know on steam.

This is new? I have been banning people like that for months now

That's not a new type of scam. This already in the days of ICQ and MSN.
I think it's a heads up for some people though. A little distrust never harmed anyone.

Haha I remember this from about 6 months ago. You would click it and then it would send the same message to everyone on your friends list. I logged in one day and had 20 messages and I thought well I have 20 idiots as friends on steam. It did help me weed out my list though.

Not a new type of scam, this same thing that has been going on for a long time, on many things.

If someone adds you, check them out 1st before adding unless you were expecting someone to add you, if you do add them, ask them how he/she knows you, if they fail to answer the simple question's, just remove them, add to block, if they give you a link, just remove, block right away, and report. Now if they make up a story on why they added you, they wanted to trade with you, and/or asking something from you, you know it's a scam right away, just remove as well blocking them. Unless you ask on the forums to trade with someone for something or made your inventory public, that only reason why you get trollers / scammers / randoms adding you. As long you keep your inventory private, there no reason for anyone to add you to trade with, unless you ask on the forum to trade for something, other than that, block them.

Well it's pretty dumb if someone click on that link, let's be honest, a private profile, level 3, with no games or friends in common send you a random link?...you have to be really dumb to click on it and if you do, you deserve to be hijacked..no offense but seriously

A wealthy Nigerian Prince warned me about that guy.

old

I had a very similar thing happen. Didn't take a screenshot though, but it was kinda funny -
Guy named something like FnaticFan (a dota team, so i found it somewhat believable he might actually know me from a dota match) added me. I accepted. Then he sent me the exact same message ("WTF?? picturelink).
I reply with: "Haha nice try buddy. Blocked :)"
And then he said: "I'm sorry that wasn't me, I have a virus that sends this automatically"
Never seen a scammer try to blame a virus before. Anyways, I didn't stick around to hear what else he had to say and just blocked him.

New type? kek, thats old af tho, its the most basic scam that can happen

Old one, everyday i block 5-10 profiles, it bots.
