Good rule of thumb is never trust anyone asking you to do things via steam messaging, but yeah. Definitely making the rounds.

here is a tip on how to report them as hacked

when they ask you do say yes but DONT click it the moment they link you report them

this insures the scam has been sent out

Watertank messaged me too but all he said was something like if I'm able to talk right now. I literally never use Steam chat so I never respond to people who message me.

I just got a message from mike. Saw the site and it asked for a steam login.

No thanks bro.

Make sure you have 2FA or steam guard on.

I got messaged by Watertank too. That's the same icon as his Steam profile had, so I gotta assume it's him (or rather, his account that got compromised and was used for the scam).

Did some research, this isn't actually new, apparently it made the rounds a year or two ago.

Literally just got a message from him a couple minutes ago. Why are there so many people getting caught by this shit? It's so obviously a scam. NEVER click links you don't recognize. It's not that complicated, people.

You can avoid any of these scams by just blocking any randoms who message you on steam. Random friend requests, I also ignore/block those.
