True, however i don't help on VAC, i help at the Steam Beta forums. Where many don't realize they're posting on the wrong forum and/or do not realize what it means to provide sufficient information. Besides that i help on New to Steam, where many don't yet know the different scams & the reporting system.

&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
On a sidenote, i miss all the beautifully filled profiles compaired to how empty looking many profiles are nowadays.

My commoent : This hampers ability to either quickly help Ppl who didn't give enough info or track down scammers (friendslists) & the likes. It especially hinders intended victims of middleman scams in compairing the real/unreal profiles/inventories.

3rd month of this spam campaign. Although the spamming has come to a halt, the victim accounts keep popping up :

You'll get them in your messages inbox when it's a new message. 2 ways to check on older messages :

1. http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/profiles/{yourSteamID}/moderatormessages/
   
   
2. You can go to any Steam forum (not group forums like this-one) and check pane "Your Forum Account" in the right sidebar. Underneath "Post History" you'll find the new "Community Messages"

Note, i reported 2 posts and a group this morning (see profile wall of TheGivingOne). Posts are removed and on the group page it says

But i did not get a community message about it. Not yet. They most likely are delayed messages as is the case with VACbans.

Are these community moderator messages (reporting via forum) or also Valve Security (reporting via profile)? If also Valve Security they seem to be delayed messages. Yesterday & today i reported a few accounts concearning the current wave of profile wall phishing/hijack comments. The one from yesterday got suspended immediatly but i didn't yet recieve a community message.

Wait, What!?!

Originally posted by BossGalaga:

I haven't been very active lately so these had to be profiles/groups that I had reported months ago at least, which would indicate to me that they're digging into some backlog or perhaps more people have reported them and they're getting the attention that they deserve...from the mods/staff.

So i might still get them for reporting accounts and groups, min. 2 up to 2 dozen each and every day for little over a ½ year? Please not!

[off-topic] Good to see with new UI Beta updates Steam still limits the amount of guides (therefore presumably also video's and Store pages) to alleviate the stress of loading such a big listing on slow/outdated machines.

In case you want to make it something like this :

Perhaps other gentlePpl can add to my favorited guides that would benefit the Newbees. Note, 101 is the only one i mention here from guides that a.o. fall in the category "Jimo's", the others are getting old. 101 is also from Ianskate, Eram, KillahInstinct, so 101 is fairly up to date.

Although the methode is nothing new, it's is a new campaign. Several known sites involved.
Format, used as a profile comment :

{link removed} - case, key and/or promocode offer - (site adress . com)

Apparently many are silly enough to ignore the warning from the Linkfilter
and still copy/paste the adress from within brackets. Victims do not seem to notice their accounts get hijacked to spread the message via their friendslists.

So gear up for the big wave when they finally notice......
