What's with phishing?

I just got tricked into signing in on a steamcommunity website that looked legit, except it had one extra letter in the url. It made it so when I went to the actual steam page I couldn't view the password reset/support page even after I cleared my cookies. Luckily, I'm not dumb and just tried it in a different browser and was able to get my account back and change my password. People who do that shit are so lame. First and last time I'll fall for that

yesterday got 10
fu*k them

When one person gets phished, they have a script to add other users and send them the link. This causes each victim to become a spreader. So there's really no way to stop it except by quarantining the affected users and educating the rest.

Odd, not even one person added me trying to phish. Probably cuz I dont trade anymore.

yes still new noob incoming.. just go steamcommunity.com/chat here you can clik on their profiles and block or report him.. yes block all because he cant send you again any message

Nothing new, just report and block them. Not much else that you can do.

Yeah I get one everytime I bump a post on tf2outpost. They're so annoying. I've reported a few of them but there are too many...

I know that feel, OP.

During the last week i got a ton of those messages. It's always the same "Hurr add a Friend, he wants to trade"-message along with a link to his phishing page. I reported the hell out of him and blocked right away, but he is very persistent and keeps on sending me messages from various accounts he most likely successfully phished recently. I'm really starting to get mad.

I am not sure where people are getting all this phishing stuff unless they are friending a bunch of people they don't actually know, or trying to connect their steam profile to too many sites.
