Are you guys seriously not using Steam Guard or what? --- End quote --- I've had Steam Guard enabled since the beginning. I've lived in different countries, states, and travel pretty often. Having to verify with the code from Steam is very common for me, and often it has seemed unnecessary, so I treated it like any normal time and just went through with it. I don't understand why you have posted in this thread three times now with essentially the same message. Not everyone lives in Illinois their entire life; if you received a Steam Guard notification you would be much more surprised than I ever am. |

Is there a certain way of telling if the Steam Community links are real or not? I want to avoid loosing my account like everyone else, I'm anxious now. I hope nobody else is effected by this phishing scheme people try to pull. |

As you can see there, some of them are obvious and you can point them out, others not as much. The best advice I can give you is to be very wary of the website address and to turn on Steam Guard. Like I mentioned in my last post, for most people who don't travel too often Steam Guard notifications are a big sign that something is happening that is not usual (someone trying to access your account). |

You probably had a key logger or something and your password to your email got picked up as well as your steam. |
