HEADS UP - New Scam Going Around

Pretty sure Steam won't ever send people anything in chat, they have notifications for that.

got the same message today, never clicked the link.
i googled about it and found this discussion.

As usual, anything other than steampowered.com or steamcommunity.com is beyond suspicious when looks/acts like legit Steam pages, but a little refresher on that practice is always good.

Invites go to email and show in notifications. DMs are not the way they are given out, I guess some people fall for it

thanks

What looks legit about this to you the link ain't even right?

Can we stop calling slightly reworded variations of the same scam "new"
Literally all of these have a fake steam login or makes the user download and open something on their pc

You can call it new when it isn't one of those 2 things.

+1, happen the same for me for fake playtest for MONSTER HUNTER WILDS - https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/kc7gC/scammer-alert-if-you-received-a-gift-invitation-for-a-playtest

Started to see these going around when Deadlock first came about. Don't know if it existed before, but yeah, don't click random links on the internet.
