yo recently i had 2 different guys adding me sending me a message like this:
Hi dude, my friend wanna trade his DC Hook and keys for some of your items, but he has some error if u interested to trade, add him : =» stemmcommunity.com/id/TheRozer «=
the other one said to add him in his dif account cus “he had a nice offer for me”
i dont do that much trading but now and then i sell some items on backpack.tf.
what i wanted to say is if u get a message like this DO NOT copy and paste the link, cus its a fake link that takes you to whatever idk but it cant be good so just a heads up :)
btw, the links change so beware

i'm not typically a victim blaming kinda guy
but these people click a link, get warned by steam, click continue to stemmcommunity.com, and then enter their info on a website that has the steam layout messed up.
seriously, if you need to be warned any more than steam warns you about stuff like this you may want to avoid the internet. there's absolutely no need for a warning thread every few weeks.

Steam Guard has been around for years. If you don't have it enabled, you should.
If your email password is the same as your Steam password, seek medical help.

don't do just this, go the full distance and enable two-step auth on your email as well. gmail supports it, microsoft supports it, apple supports it, i think even yahoo does now. there is NO EXCUSE to not have this on anymore, it's the best way to protect all of your accounts.

The fact that Steam has a really annoying link filter now and people STILL somehow manage to fall for these is absolutely astounding.

the link filter is entirely useless because people just click through it by reflex. it's stupid and Valve should remove it.
