Today morning i got one Email from Valve Community!

Your Steam Account ID: 4xxxx0
Dear 4xxxx0, On Saturday May 03, 2008 - Valve conducted a random screening to further pursue the termination of stolen accounts. Your account fell into the ID range of our scans, it is recommended to update your passwords and email. You are able to do this either through your Steam client or even quicker through our online community. ( TM: SteamCommunty.com ) Sincerely, -Valve CyberCafe Staff

Anything wrong with my account? I had bought the games from Valve sites before..

Changing the passwords and e-mail thru the steam client should not be a problem, should it?

its a scam, these 12 yr old nitwits are getting craftier by the day :|.

first of all Valve will never send emails like these

also to be on the safe side change your email/pass through steam client only.

I found out that steamcommunty.com domain was recently refunded and available for grabs only 6 months ago .. a definite proof towards a scam. Why would steam ever .. ever refund its domain. (Unless they realized the typo) :D

Here is the link

dude, please checkout the senders email address and sender's messaging domain. e.g. it should be <valve Incorp> abc@valve.com and not <valve Incorp> xyz@gafla.com . if you find the .com to be different other than valve or related domain than put it into spam or scam.
