    Hey, this is just a warning for all of you. This guy has added me, saying he wants to trade.

    That link says Steam Comrnunily. It is a scam. I am too scared to go to the link. Tell me if it is a virus or a screamer.

    I went onto the site. It's a steam account except mostly for trading things.

    If the website is not steamcommunity.com, it is extremely likely that it is a scam site.

    Do not open the link. When I opened it in a secure environment, a skull and crossbones was displayed, which could indicate a virus is present.

    Why did you censor the person's name? You can report him for scam attempt.

    As far as I know the link is safe but used to be malicious. When I went to it it said "Account disabled by Administrator"

    There's a simple strategy to all Skype scams and Steam scams. I honestly don't know why people don't employ it.

    Yomc's Tips On How To Not Get Scammed
    Tip 1: STOP ADDING RANDOM PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW
    the end

    It's really pretty simple. Don't add random people and don't click random links and you'll be amazed at just how malware-free your computer is.

    Adding onto that, if someone has a LEVEL 0 ACCOUNT and has a cheesy name..
    Just don't add them. It's not going to help. The phishers aren't getting any more creative btw lol
