and before anyone says it, yes i know this isnt the steam support site. just giving everyone a heads up seeing as whoever has my account might use it to steal yours.

all i got was a freakin group invite that led to this bullshit, so DONT CLICK ANYTHING I SEND YOU!!!

My antisocial tendencies in social networks of gamers demonstrates its benefits yet again!

Sorry about your pie getting stolen, though, yo. Did they get you to click a link or download a virus, or was it hacker magic?

Looks like they sent him a link; I just got a message containing a link to "join them in a tournament." I removed the account. Add me again when you've got everything situated, kaister.

Yeh, just got sent a link to "Join us on the steam tour!" or similar. Blocked the account, let me know when it's safe.

got it back thankfully. damn what a busy little bitch he was, glad i let you all know before hand.

he linked me to a mock page he either scripted or hosted himself to look exactly like an official steam page. then (and here's where i kicked myself) when i logged in i pretty much handed him my username and password.

thats it, im sooo crawling back into my "i-dont-know-you-so-fuck-off" mode lol. but its safe to add me again, and ill add you guys later after spring cleaning.

Heh, yeah, that's exactly the link I kept getting spammed to me while I played TF2 last night. With the first one, I was like, "oh, kai got his account ba-- waaaaaait..."

How did you end up getting it back?

XD jesus, i wonder if he got any poor saps with that, i got a big friends list >->. not to mention the hour he snagged my shit, tired and sleep deprived gamers are easy prey. i was thinking the steam page/firefox was just being slow or unresponsive with my log in, just to find out that it wasnt the official steam page at all :/

i sent pics of my retail version cd keys from my modern warfare 2 and left 4 dead 2 with my account username written below in sharpie, and all the other steps they listed to prevent any delays (quote un-quote) and they came thru this morning/early afternoon. i was paranoid as hell steam wouldnt come thru for me so i made several pics, one including the open cases showing the cd and keys side by side.

i gotta admit, thats better then adequate services ^_^. either that or im just overly thorough bout these kind of things.

Yeah you tried to link me that stuff, I didn't bother because I fail at tournaments anyway.
You must be relieved you got your account back.
