Hello,
"Ranger" added me on Steam and asked me whether I could play in their team in 30 minutes. I declined and he asked me to vote for his team "PanicAttack" on a eSports website. The website looked fine at first, until I noticed that all links force me to login via Steam and I can't even see the "About" page without it. Also, the Terms & Conditions were not clickable. My google-fu failed me on that gaming site as well.
Is that a kind of scam and was I lucky I didn't log in or was I just overly paranoid?

FireIf you use steam openid (aka login with steam) you will always enter your credentials on steamcommunity.com and not on the websites domain.
this is true but be careful as some websites (like the one OP mentioned) use popups with fake address bars that look like steamcommunity but aren't.

Heh, true enough. It occurs only later in the list after bigger titles like Dota and CSGO, though. He also asked me specific questions like "What are your best classes?" which don't really fit in many other games on that page. So, props to him for wasting both our times, I guess.
