Fake Steam Community links going around
Demian:
Manty just sent me this message and I was silly enough to click it before reading the URL. The website looks exactly like a regular Steam Community profile but what tipped me off:
1. I didn't recognize the profile username
2. The location was set to Puerto Rico in the profile
3. Manty is English if I remember correctly
Yes you can see the link in the image. Do not visit that obvious scam site.

Steam Guard only protects your account from being accessed from 3rd party computers as far as I know.

Yes, and isn't that what is happening here?

Oh yeah. Well I suppose it isn't perfect then.
