There is a message from a certain "Admin Comunity" wich sounds like "Exclusive offer! Now, you can get one game from the list below for free! (...)"



The website it's a complete fake, it asks for Steam name/pass and E-mail name/pass, and i got accesed «ALGIERS, ALGER TZ» (IP: 41.103.191.33) but changed passwords just in time...

Who else got scammed and did you lost your accounts?

If this "Admin Comunity" (not even right wrote) asks you for your acc info then its not safe.

If you ever messaged someone on Steam, you should already know this:

Never tell your password to anyone.

Just clicking doesn't make you lose your account. You must sign in in order to be stolen. :3

I'll make sure that your account is safe himo, I'd risk my life to make sure nothing happens to it.

If somebody gives you a link that asks for your info, you don't give it no matter what the site promises or how many people say it worked.

Steamgifts doesn't ask for your info - you sign in via Steam (and you can see that when you sign in you're on a Valve-owned site, with a valid certificate issued to Valve).

The link and the linked page was made to look exactly like the genuine Steam page, but with a catch: after the store.steampowered.com comes a [domain].org :/ quite hard to figure out if i wouldn't look again at the link

store.steampowered.com has an EV certificate, and as a result it says "Valve Corporation" in green, right before (Chrome) or after (IE) the URL.

Look for that before you give your username/password, and you'll be safe 99% of the time.

(I'm not saying it's foolproof - nothing in security is :) . But it's highly unlikely that an attacker could get a valid EV certificate that says "Valve")

I'll just steal this quote from another thread, since it goes so well with this one:

There is no reason anyone would need your steam pass and username (and email... wtf) unless they were phishing, idk how anyone could fall for this.

Yawn. Steam's login site would be displayed in GREEN. Why people always forget to check stuffs before entering the user/pass combo is beyond my comprehension.

This. Look for that green thingie (TM) saying "Valve Corporation" next to the URL before you give your details.

Because of Steamguard, most phishing attempts now have to ask for not only your email but also your email password. It would be the height of stupidity to put your email password anywhere other than when you're logging into your email account. If one is prone to such lapses of judgement, 2-step verification is a good idea. Gmail offers this.
