Steam phishing site going around

[MegaScientifical]

To put it simply, I got a random message from Solid saying people were talking about me on "the forum." I was then linked to a blatantly obvious account hacking site, whereas he immediately logged off. Googling the site's host found it to be notorious for stealing accounts on many different things, also including Facebook. Should you bee linked to anything hosted on "bugs3.com," ignore it. Here's a quote of the initial chat - I blanked part of the link despite you being able to find it yourself to make it that much harder to forget yourself:

Never tell your password to anyone.
faty|MrSolid: have you seen that written about you on the forum?
MegaScience: ?
faty|MrSolid: http://steamcommunity.b***3.com/forums/

Solid has his account back. But watch out for phishing scams in general, and always check the URL before doing anything on a website.

Well not exactly, but okay.

Figured out "steamcommunity" is the part of the problem, you shouldn't dismiss http://bugs3.com for that it's just a free hosting service.

I'm going to send an e-mail to them and link them to the respective posts in Games made by Solid and hopefully get this over with.

I almost got tricked by this about a month ago.

Well, I corrected the title since I know people might eventually complain should we want to make this 'shut up,' if you will.

I don't understand how tech savvy people like the forumers almost get scammed by this stuff.
Its a blatantly obvious subdomain, OBVIOUSLY not the real deal, how do you guys fall for this?

Oh you. I was going to write this exact post but you were 30 seconds faster than me.

i was dumb enough to fall for a phish once.

luckily I used one of my game keys to get it back

great minds think alike!?

I mean, yeah. Some scams are pretty good, but subdomains? My mother falls for that stuff, not you guys.

The main problem I had was it was Solid sending me the link. Didn't think he'd fall for it, and of course I was not at all expecting to be send links like that at the time.

And I didn't fall for it. I got as far as clicking the link and seeing it was trying to clone the main Steam site to know it was fake. When Solid came back on the second time, the first being going on TF2, probably the person in control stealing his stuff, I quizzed him on the Blockland community, things a random hacker couldn't know off the bat and confirmed he still had access. He's account is simply compromised.
