Happens with any group on Steam. It uses your primary group URL to custom-create the message, so it can use any group name to fool you.

The links are too suspicious to be opened to be honest.....Scammers need to do more than this.The last well-hidden successful link scam which even got one of my experienced friends (He lost 15 Dota 2 keys back in 2013) was steamcmmunity,steamcammunity ....etc but the current scam links are pretty obvious.I'm not trying to give scammers ideas but if they're going to use giveaways as a method to convict victims they should create domains for fake well-known ga website eg: Steamgift,steamcompnion,galagivawys,gameminers not sure if it's even possible but many users might actually fall into this.

The question is, do these guys ever get banned?
I've got a friend request from a guy today who had 16 level Steam account with something like 50 games (among which CS:GO, CS:S, Saints Row)
Why would you even risk your account getting banned, unless of course Valve does nothing about this

I also received a friend request today, he came to me with this story, I wonder how many winners are there, because I am sure there are not only 10 winners. Lol

Be careful people!
It has been brought to our attention that there are scammers claiming to be us, saying you've won a giveaway and sending a link.
Scammer: You have been selected as one of ten random winners.
Scammer: You can choose any 5 items from the list on the screenshot
Scammer: www.virus.com
Do not be fooled! Ask to see the link where you won! And make damn sure it's a Steam URL, spelt correctly. The "proof" they send is actually a virus. As usual.
Stay safe, FFG!
