HalfLife-2.nl reports that a fake Steam e-mail is roaming around.The e-mail reports that there are some problems and that you will need to send your Steam account information to a certain e-mail. DO NOT do this. Valve will never ask for your information in this way. Here is the fake e-mail:
From: "Steam" < accounts@steampowered.com >
Reply-To: "Steam" < steam-validation@mail.com >
To: "---@hotmail.com" < ---@hotmail.com >
Subject: Please validate your Steam Account
Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 21:39:45 +1100
Dear Steam User,
In order to continue using Steam you must validate your account
by forwarding this message to Steam-validation@mail.com
You must include your account information in this format in the
message:
Username: (your Steam username)
E-Mail: (the email you registered your account to.)
Password: (the password you used to log in to your Steam
account.)
Our database will be formatted soon, due to some damage caused by
some users. We will need to record our active users and add them
to our database once again.
You must validate your account within 30 days or eles your
account will get closed. Thank you for your co-operation, Best
regards, Steam account Managing Team.
As said this is fake, so if you have received such an e-mail, do not reply, just delete it directly.
