Tips to avoid account being hijacked or stolen or stealing password :
I suggest you guys should read this if you got time:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1266-OAFV-8478If u are busy then read this page :
How they do it :
1. The link pasted by unknown may be someone's steam profile or trading website page etc. But most important thing is that " U can see you are logged out, and hence u try to login naturally " that is their motive.
3. If you enter login password and email verification code , it will be stolen by his website and he will login and change password and email instantly. And there after you don't have any control over your account.
Tips to avoid or cross check the link:
1. Open the link given by someone u wanna trade with.
2. If u notice that the steam is logged out, Don't enter password now.
3. Open your own profile page, for example mine is
http://steamcommunity.com/id/sinjdota 4. If this page is logged in properly and at the same time the link given by others is logged out, It must be for scamming.. never enter password because " It is the only way you will loose your inventory full of items and your account with high lvl and your steam wallet as well "
Solution if account is stolen already :
As soon as u came to know your account is stolen do these things :
1. take snapshots of the trade page and chat where he posted link.
2. go to
steamrep.com and enter the scammers id and copy the details
It looks like this : ( I'm not scammer don't paste mine :P )
