Steam Virus Scam

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mangley:
Just to add, it's not only .png, I've also seen .jpg used. I assume any URL can potentially redirect to a .scr file.

If you're in any Steam groups such as CSGO, DOTA 2 or TF2, you will probably find yourself targetted more frequently as phishers browse the user group's member pages targetting players for their valuable inventory items.

A lot of bot accounts won't have a profile set up and the username will be [unassigned]. Chances are if a random person adds you it's a phisher.

As long as you remain wary, you shouldn't have much problems.

I had this happen today and I can confirm that it's real.

So the simple answer is to not have any friends.
