The most typical scam nowadays. But normally they're just bots.

There's recently quite a few bots with just random letters as their name too especially on outpost.

i modified it so that people won't just browse it and fall; but the courious will be able to see how those phishing pages are crafted, at his own risk.

of course the profile that is faked has nothing to do with the scammer.

they send those links so you'll sign in there and give them your info or download the flash/adobe app to steam your login info.

you didn't click the link and sign in did you. if so change your password.

I like how at some points he randomly addresses you as "sir" :P

Don't people from a certain region do that or am I being too stereotypical?
