Earlier today, A person I didn't know messaged me a link,I then went on the link, it was in german, I got google chrome to translate it to english, it said it was valve/steam's birthday and everyone would get "gold membership" I thought it existed so i did the offer, signed into steam, I then got a confirmation email on the email I sent them, After that, i got a email saying someone is trying to get access to my account via another computer, the person who sent me this then went offline, It was obviously the person behind the scam so I changed my email and password, he then came back online.
The person who tryed to hack me was Davis/Marcel Davis. (steam name)

Did you think there was a red flag when 'Steam' sent you an email in German when your account was set to English
What about when the email it was sent from was from a different email from the usual Steam email address?
Or when you hadn't even have heard of a 'Gold Membership' until you got a mysterious email promising you one.
Even when there was no mention of this on the steam store
How about when the link given to you didn't have http://_______.steampowered.com
I could go on with how many ways this was obviously a scam but I won't

Sorry, but if you fell for that, you're dumb.
Also, don't link us to it, if people actually click that, it could risk them losing their accounts.

Please be [Image: 27lMf] kidding.
Also, remove your link. It basically encourages people to click on it and potentially lose their account too.

(P.S: At the bottom of the page there was an option to change the language. That all you had to do!)
