Yep, also got that message from Ge0force. Seems like a lot of people today want me to vote for their cs go team damn.
Yeah Ge0force also just messaged me on Steam out of the blue
Secure your account, mate -_-

Oh, november! New thread! Yay!
Also I have gotten messages from two people today who got screwed by "Vote for my csgo team" phishing scams. What the hell?

How many of you are hacked? How did it happen? Don't you use Steam app for 2fa?
I also want to be contacted. I feel left out haha!
Also, hype!

You will know soon enough.
But I am online.
edit, aren’t I?
Yes, you are, you just messaged me about some CSGO team.
Seriously, do not click any link.

For information, I only have 1 blocked person on my list of contacts on Steam. It is someone who has managed to message me on Steam Chat without being in a common group chat with me, and without being among my contacts, obviously. I don't think he is a scammer, but he is clearly a hacker.
To this day, I have no clue how he has been able to do this.

Level 570 with 8k games. Many market transactions under his belt.
Now that I think about it, he may have found a way to message me using information from my trader offer link on a trading card hub. I don't know how this could be done, but I imagine there is a way for some people to send some text chat instead of the trade offer.[/HIDEPOSTS]
Anyway, nothing to do with the phishing going on.

I'm really sorry. I got a similar message from @Mileena and was so stupid to vote. The scam site is using what looks like the official login page from Valve (https and everything) and uses it to take over the account. After that, the same question to vote was sent to everyone in my friendlist. I suddenly got tons of messages on Steam and WhatsApp.
I've de-authorized all devices and changed my password. I hope I'm fine now. My apologies!
Vote for Metacouncil CS:GO team now! Click here
I actually troll a lot of these "hackers" and also click their links. Nothing actually happens until you enter your "real" credentials. Just enter total crap and reassure the hackers that you voted. One got so annoyed that he removed me from his friend list
I got hacked last year too (was it last year?)
I didn't have 2FA at the time, only email steam guard, which was on me. The only thing they did was play CSGO for a while, realize I had no items, then got my account back in a few hours thanks to support.
Stay safe friends.

I did now get a message on steam from sprinkles , but it was not spam.
Man, HDR is such an arseache,
It even fucks up screenshots.

These phishing attempts are getting more sophisticated over the years. Sometimes I got emails trying to change my password with the same exact header and lettering which my bank uses. Like, the only difference is the email address, so if someone isn't careful to look (and/or doesn't have 2FA), that's game over.
Everyone gettin messages and I got nothin.. well fuck y’all 
Kinda of feeling left out... no spam messages for me either. And I have both Ge0force and Milena on my friends list.
Was it because I was in invisible mode? Maybe non-public inventory? Or.... it was something about me??

Oh yeah, they are very clever. It doesn't help that every company over here these days sends the bills/proof of payment over email, and sometimes they have data leaks. So it's not uncommon to get a very legit looking email with even some of your info.

I do use it. The site seems to mimic the official 2FA login from Valve and I think it uses a fake Chrome address bar to give the impression that the site is secure.

Sorry, everyone. I was a total fool, I hope all is fine now and no one is getting weird messages anymore 
I have a shopping list, but my biggest purchase will be an OLED TV. I will be replacing an 11-year-old LCD TV.
WTF, this is insane.

Uh... I don't if it's a good idea to have a live link to the scam site here because the forum generate the preview of the link. At very least it appears to be fetching a image from their server even if you don't click or anything. (I'm probably talking out of my ass now...)
But yeah, that's clever. It's simulating like it's opening a new browser window with a correct Steam URL and "Valve" as a certificate name, but it's just a layer inside your current browser. Very legit looking. It also placed Firefox in the "window" title so it's not only for Chrome.
Very easy to fall for this.
Oh, that's pretty convincing. They didn't just replicate the steam login prompt but built a website to mimic a browser window too.
The illusion breaks if you try to maximize or minimize the "window". The window controls also looks a little blurrier than any native app does on my end, probably because I'm on a 4K TV with 200% scaling. So it probably looks right on any non-scaling screen.
But yeah, never ever login to steam through a page like that. Open steam in another browser tab and login through there. If you are already logged in but the real looking page still says you are not logged in, abort abort.

Better yet, log out of the internet and lead a happy life

One of the good things about seasonal events is that it sometimes motivates you to get off your ass, and finally play certain games.
The latest one:
I'm rather enjoying it. It's a survival/adventure game, where you gather resources, and try to escape with your son during a zombie pandemic.
Yeah, I know, zombies yet again. Not to mention it, "survival" is usually enough to scare me away from a game. But this one has a nice, melancholic vibe to it, from the graphics, to the piano soundtrack, that I rather like. It's well worth a look.

Well I missed the first page but it's never too late to congratulate lashman on another wonderful thread.
I really want to get Guardians but hmm... That price.

Man... I am looking forward to more Forza Horizon. If only it had cross-save with the Steam and Xbox versions... Ugh.
Does anyone know if the Windows Store version of Forza Horizon 5 will have cross-progression with the Steam version? I am currently planning on playing the game through Game Pass for PC but I am thinking down the line that I'll pick up the game eventually on Steam when it goes on sale.
