"Free 2 weeks of games"

It's B/S

By Liko 4 years ago

This just happened to me a few minutes ago, but I knew it was a scam and ignored it; inevitably will spread like AIDS. People are going around contacting every person on their friends list with the same message:

all steam steam games test it for 2 weeks soo nice.. :)
then the link.

Supposedly Valve is offering an "upgrade" with available access to ALL steam games for 2 weeks. What it really is is a virus which will read your clientregistry.blob, take your password, then log into your account, change the password, then put a bot in charge which will contact everyone on your friends list with the previous mentioned message.

If some one messages you with a message like the one in the div above, then their account has been hacked and don't trust the link that accompanies the message.

Just a heads up, Liko...

    Notes: Thanks for telling us this! This topic deserves a 10/10.

    If my very close friend that I live with told me this, I would belive him. XD
