So two people added me asking to add this guy.

I copy pasted the link and it looked like a normal steam profile. But since I have a lot of problems with the steam client I mostly use a browser for trading. Meaning im almost always logged in. But I wasnt logged in at that link.
So that didnt make sense to me, so i tried to find the guy through the steam client. I couldnt find him. And if I went to steams homepage through the browser I was logged in.
Now I knew something was wrong.

So finally I looked at the link.
Letters are switched out but since you read it fast you dont, or at least I didnt, notice the change.

So I think its a key logger.

I dont know if this is know facts, but didnt know and havent had it done to me before.

Be carefull out there!

PS: If people know about this already Ill close the thread. Just ask me to do so.
PSS: Have change my own password just in case. Didnt take any screenshots from the linked page and dont wanna go back on to it after I changed my password.

They usually appear when you bump any trade threads on trading sites. So if you get a friend request like a second after you've bumped a trade thread then its more often than not likely to be one of those scams.

Be careful and take care :)
