What? Viruses can invade online user accounts?

Is that even possible?

But, never ever ever give your password to anyone. You might aswell hand over your pin number for your credit card too.

If anyone ever falls for that, I think it's their own fault.

"Yhello! I ahm a staff-man, yorl account sheems to be having trojan now, yes? Passwords please, thank-you."

Just imagine the guy in a greasy monkey-suit, twisting his thick moustache with the hand not currently holding a stained, bulging brief-case.

Real French people do not speak like this; if you are approached by a man in a striped shirt wearing a beret, whilst holding a baguette who speaks like this, alert your local authorities.

What about a bag with a dollar sign or "SWAG" written on it?

Well, it's obvious what to write back in a situation like this:
"Fuck off. You've been reported to the staff."
Hehe, I reported him, and After I knew what he was trying to say...i simply said "take me to your leader" and blocked him.

Personal joke with a friend

He is called STEAM-VAC does that sound like it's even a word?!let alone a official member,if it is real member,it would merely do it itself,it does not need password,but it did ask,in french,which is weird because a english guy would have done it without such regardless(I got really confusing back there,but I just woke up and am not with the thinking of straight)

A couple of times I have responded to these attempts with obvious fake passwords. I will write back something like 'OMG! Thx 4 keepin en I on me, must hav been dat porn site. My pa$$w0rd is - FuckYou!' That tends to get them to leave me alone. Although one time I responded with "Dude, does this seriously ever work and I got a response saying "You'd be surprised"

Steam will NEVER ask you those, so definitley a scammer. Probably a kid with nothing better to do. Or just a social reject.

Ok... everyone who has Steam, go to the forums. This is one of the first things they warn you about.

You often get targeted by scammers if you are in big popular steam groups (which are useless btw.)

While people are gathered here to talk about the obvious things: do not, I repeat DO NOT click on any links sent to you via steamfriends by people you don't fully trust (intelligent people that don't get their accounts hacked!)

There have been and there probably are ways of stealing your account if you are redirected to malicious sites. In case that happens (you can't log in or your steamfriends name is changed) have atleast the receipt of one valid steam purchase ready. Contact steam support with this information at once because those guys will use your account to scam YOUR friends next.

Don't talk to him, remove him from your friend list and ignore him if you can.
