Yup just got a similar message. Think to yourself, WHY do you need to login? Surely they can send you the "gift" or "key" as a message.

They seem to be targeting Steam Gifts users only.

I got the message, and I know a few people that got the message from Steam gifts.

I think it was pointed out often enough that this is a scam. But I want to add a safe way to see for yourself if it is a scam. Manually open up Steams website. Log in if not already logged in. Go to your possible scam site. Trustwhorthy websites like steamgifts provide you a login via Steam with a numeric ID. You won't have to enter something, just click on login. Nothing more. If it still asks for your mail/ID/password it's a scam.

Undeniably, but someone has clearly gone to some trouble to produce a mock-up of a genuine Steam page here. You'd think that the least they could do would be to put a bit of effort into the text...
The sort of grammar, spelling and wildly erratic punctuation that would embarrass a two year old is all part of the fun in your average "Nigerian Prince" email, but I was hoping for a little more here.

Dear qwertz12:
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling US$40,000,000. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.
You assistance is requested as a non-Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount.
However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$100,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Lagos, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.
Yours truly,
Prince Alyusi Islassis

If you once logged in to steamcommunity you don't have to enter your login when logging in to sites like indiegala or SG, you can login with a single click on a button. Those fake sites obviously always ask to enter your info instead of that 1 click button. I think that's what he's talking about.
Sorry about this engrish, i'm way too tired to think now lol

Yes it is a scam link, as you can see the link got ".somee.com". This shows that the link has a subdomain = Free Website hosting!
Take a look over here www.somee.com, (Somee) is a company which gives free websiste/forum hosting. The guy(scammer) just hosted a free website and created his scam website. None of the scammers is so dum* to create a premium website just to hack/scam people.
Puzzle solved! - Bump!

How could you ever trust a website that mimics Steam and asks for a login? Come on!

It's damn simple to avoid these scam fails:
1.pay attention to the damn URL
2.why would you need to enter your email and your email's password on login all togheter with your steam id and password?
3.when you login on most "important" websites,pay attention on your browser's url/adress field.If it says trusted or secure or whatever,then you can login with no problems.
(was going to make a 4.pay attention to those site's english but since most of the scammed people don't have english as their first,they might aswell have worse language than the scammer itself.)
