So we have to read the link address carefully
dosen't SteamGuard protect against this? I'm sorry you got scammed bro. That sucks!
Steamcommuninity...
you know i always tell people DONT TRUST ANYONE who says " oh my friend needs to trade with you add him please "
always 100% scammers
I hope this %%%%hole gets banned i really do Free bump and i hope steam supports if you already contacted them can get you , your items back if they can i really hope it works out for you man i hate those hackers..
You have 84 reps and you have no idea about this scam AND you clicked on an unknown .exe file? Wow.
it just happened that i reached my friend list
and it was mid night that i was about to go to sleep my head was full of shit
btw, the exe file has no virus i scanned with both nod kapaskie
The exe file is what he used to steal the steam guard authentication files from your computer. He needs that to bypass the 7 days trading ban. There is no way he could have traded all your keys away instantly without it. Just because Kaspersky can't detect a virus, doesn't mean the program isn't malicious. Most customized programs aren't detectable by conventional antiviruses.
btkee, I was one of your friends on steam when it happened and I tried to find you and there is something you need to know and if you manage to make another steam account add me ASAP, I manage to talk to the hacker when he was on your account
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully more people become aware about this.
Good luck bro.

I am currently using this account
I bet you didn't clicked on that link, you copy pasted in your browser. If you read the Steam Support forums you can see that this is a common scam by hackers, and if you just read the link you can see it's fake. Don't know why people are so lazy to read and learn how can they be protected from scams, and how can someone not see that fake link. If you can click on the link in your "Steam chat" and redirects you to your Web browser than it's a fake link but if you click on it and redirects you on Steam Client then you are good.
if you have not get back your acc yet,i recommend you report scammer to steam rep.the scammer would scam with using paypal on your acc.

don't believe anything the both people said
In the fake page i clicked add friend and input my user name and password. Then a steamvlidator.exe was downloaded. (http://i.imgur.com/yvXzjvk.jpg )I thought it is kind of new gidget and just clicked it. Then he changed my account email and password in a minute or so. I just found out that you don't need the confirmation in your email. Just the username and password and cookies you can change people's email.
I guess it is the exe file that extract my cookies.
I just checked my inventory that my over 100 tf2 keys and a bunch of game gifts are all gone.
