Hi
Few minutes ago a friend from my list asked to help him for a vote, and hi gives me a site and he stoled me my yahoo account and then steam..

I maked a ticked to valve with 2 cd keys Guns of Icarus Online and Galactic arms, all keys i know.. Now i am logged in with in chrome, but this thread maybe is last in this community.

Some advice for me?

It used to work back when HL2/CSS were new. I know a couple of people that used their Half-Life 2 retail copies to reclaim Steam accounts. I cant see why it wouldnt work now.

It does work but you should add more details, like when was the last time you were on your account etc. The more ibfo the faster you'll get your account back :)

( I had my account Hijacked and got it back within 2 days )

How can you call him friend if he stolen your email and steam account.... anyway try to go on yahoo maybe click "forget password" answer security question.
But i would do something like that
If you have phone number of friend or his email.
email him some crap like Ok well your stolen my account and accessed my email, i already called police and they told me to come tommorow to file a complain, i dont know if you know what ip is, but if you logged on my email or on steam its already in logs, it wont be a problem to get my account back but it will be bigger problem for you cause stealing e-mail accounts is not something "legal" if you dont know you can even go to jail for stealing something worth 1 cent from shop, cause its still illegal.

Blablabla... i always love to scare kids like that when they do something bad, and yes... he will probably send your passwords instantly and say how sorry he is

Translated quote: "Caution! Each vote requires login and vote using a confirmation email from yahoo.com existing votes to prevent false, multiple or automatic (sourced from some robots)."

That looks weird enough as it is. Why does it specifically mention yahoo.com?

And besides that, you shouldn't have the same password on your email as your Steam as possible additional extra security is pointless then.

You should install WOT addon (Web of Trust), it might be helpful in some cases.

Agreed. I use this, and it has warned me several times when I stumbled upon a scam site. It's nowhere near perfect, but it's a good tool. I submitted a review of your scam site to them just a minute ago, ZnSstr. Hopefully it'll help to keep others from making the same mistake you did.

Or their account was phished and used to send out mass emails. I've had that happen with someone that I know, but I knew better than to click the link that they gave me. When it comes to account security, I trust no one but myself.

You gonna need to provide steam proof of physical copies or CC/paypal information. I'm certain digital download keys are not proof of account ownership.

Actually, digital download keys can be proof of account ownership. (they asked for proof when I wanted to change my email, I made a proto of my Humble Bundle page and the support ID in a Notepad window)

Looks like you've got all of the information that you need now. I hope you get your account back soon, ZnSstr. Best of luck to you! ^^
And hopefully the information posted in this thread is useful for others, too.

You're welcome.

Good plan! I've still got the CD key for the first game that I bought, and have been saving it for just such an event. Though I hope that it doesn't happen, I do like to be prepared. Better too safe than sorry!

Your friend account could of gotten hit by the same thing then they logged onto his account and hit you with it.Often people who do not know about link hacks have it happen. Just saying your friend might not be the one who linked it to you,but since I do not know what kind of person he/she is I cannot say.

I wait a response from valve, i send 4 game keys and some prints with discussions. Where he told me details from my life, (from mail i think), is in pics all discusion, date and hours. I need to wait a long time because is weekend but wish me luck. I lost my all items from backpack, but that is not really important, because i not play games for items.

I want to apologize all for my bad english, i learned english on games, movies, books and forums like this. In school our teacher told us about her life, and what is new... and more useless things.

Some time later, before you lose access to your account here, file a support ticket and let us know and we can put a suspension on your account until you've recovered your Steam account in case whoever is in control of it comes here, so they can't cause any more trouble for you. We can lift it once you show us a screenshot of the Steam ticket where you got your account back.

Is funny, beucase he traded my all items, and then traded other items in my account, and valve restored my items from first trade, now i have 200, and before to stole my account haved 130 =)
Another funny thing, he thinks, if I have a key from a game, valve give me only the game and that`s all.
I trolled him, when he playing in my account, I deleted his new friends from browser and changed his name into $#^$%&@#@
He put same name with his original account =), and the joke with police works, his site is gone =) 404 error... I sent a mail to police and I redirect to him, to see all mail I sent.
Now i added him, to talk.

I find it rather ironic that one of OPs previous Steam names is "learn english russians", and 3 other of his nicks were technically insulting Russians, implying the previous was insinuating that Russians should learn English...
