account hacked

[A Baby Panda]

That sucks, but at least you learned a valuable lesson.. Always check the website. Hall tried to send me a link to steamcommunity.fg.ln or something like that and I immediately knew it was a scam.

And besides, everyone has their own style of typing. You should know if somethings up.. And use your common sense when they say a 60 dollar game is free..

Or wait, was this actual hacking, or a phishing scam?

IT was phishing, out of curiosity I looked at the page and enjoyed their rather creative use of steam looking templates and lol'd my way back to TF2 once I realized Hall had been hacked

Was gonna say.. If they came out with a way to just rampage through your computer and find your Steam ID and password just by clicking a link, wait until someone with some actual fu**ing brains comes by and realizes you could do the same thing for all other kinds of things. We'd be screwed, lol..

I'm 12 and i've been sent wiht like 5 of those links and i haven't been hacked. It's sad you actually fell for it.

I didn't really think someone wouldn't know the difference.

cuz it's simply stating the account has been hijacked and since i only play on the gg server this is the best way to reach the people i know...
