If you get a friend request from a random dude and he asks to trade ignore it. It will automatically download a trojan that attacks your Steam profile and steals your stuff I got lucky, but we shall see. My antivirus blocked it, but to be safe I changed my password and made it freakishly long and complex. Just beware of who sends you a friend request and what they want. Try not to click links unless you know the person.

It's around on different forums, but it happened to me personally.

Good rule of thumb, if you don't know them, don't add them...

my wife has done network IT before and she got me into the habit of not opening every link that shows up in my emails and forum posts. and like you guys just said; if I don't recognize the guy requesting the friend link, I won't answer it. sometimes if you just hover your pointer over the hot-link, you can see the link address in the bottom of your screen bar. if you can see that, and you don't recognize it; write it down and report it to the forum mods. I guess it shows how desperate some people are to steal money when they have to troll forums to do their dirty work...  |
