    So, i just got a message with a link for the L4D games from some guy from the GB group. Of course, the link wasn't a steam link, but the page looked like steam and had you enter your login. Do we have a scammer?

    Ah, i read a few of those, and i don't remember anything about them at all! 
     
    Yeah, i didn't actually have any interests in the game, but the link looked suspicious. So i decided to post on here in case anyone else got it.

    It's a public group, anyone can join. Anyway, you should send one of the group admins this douchebags username and also report him to Valve.

    It might be a virus. I've had irls sending me links to scam websites on steam for a long time and when I ask them why they say they haven't. Kinda like how people can have these viruses on msn "HEY LOOK AT THESE PICS OF ME *SENDS A ZIP FILE*" except this time if someone falls for it it's going to hurt a lot more.

    Remember folks, Steam have email verification, which you should all be using to protect your accounts.

    Heh if it's the same guy then I talked to him yesterday, he hacked one of my steam friends account and tried to convince me that if I clicked a link I would help him get cod 6 for free.
