Attention - scammer alert!

Closed
bufetman

Everyone should be careful as some pricks are trying to convince you to go to some giveaway page and log in with your steam account and your email address. The web is this one so for those who are not stupid - good for you, for the others - never use your steam and email password on webpages you don't know!

"Reported Web Forgery!
This web page at www.holidaysales.net78.net has been reported as a web forgery and has been blocked based on your security preferences."

Yep.. All sites that require you to use your steam account details redirect you to the steam page. Steam uses OpenID so the sites never get your actual info.

I'm preety sure a lot of people here already know that Steam uses OpenID for that kinda of stuff, just because you log-in to SG thru it :P

Advice: don't post clickable links to bad sites - some people first follow them and then read what's there.

My thoughts. I don't have any sympathy with a moron that clicks a link in a thread called "Attention - scammer alert!" and then proceeds to get scammed.

yeah, it is blocked now after lots of reports, so its good. anyway, as it is said in the description - if you're not an idiot - good for you, this was meant for the others who think that the world is too good and no one wants to rip them off :)
