Possible new scam

Closed

I was recently asked to trade with a random user on steam who just added me out of no where. They said: "Hey mate. I want to trade with you , but can't add you from trade acc. Add me please (phishing link)."
Luckily I was an idiot and I went on steampowered.com and put it in after a slash and then the link. I then looked and saw it said cornmunicty not community. I don't know where the link takes you. Has anyone gotten this too?

You have to be careful with similar messages. That type of scam has been used for a long time with links.

I would remove the link. I know you're only trying to help people, but in turn you are actually providing a phishing link. Support does suspend for this. Just FYI.

Thanks for letting me know about the link suspension.

It's called phishing, that's why Steam recently added the link filter for chat so you'll be notified when you're leaving Steam.

It's also not new.

But I suggest you remove that link, it will get you suspended.
