Gamers Beware! Phishing Attempt!! Please Read!!
Got a message from someone named Simonverge(turns out it's a blank steam profile). The messages are below. Note the spelling of the website. If you go to the link, it looks legitimate, except for the fact that you're not logged in, and if you try to do anything, it wants your user name and password. I of course did not enter any information.

Message content:

simonverge: Hello Mate
simonverge: We held a competition in our group and you won free game gift and some game stuff on your choice
simonverge: Add a second administrator and take yor gift and stuff please, he got error when he's trying to add you, steamcommiuinty.com/id/TheAlien098/ , just copy his profile url into your browser (Firefox or Chrome) and add him, he is waiting for you
simonverge: Also don't forget to write a post after receiving the prize in our group please, thank you and congratulations :)


Please everyone watch out for this type of scam. Be sure that the spelling of the web address is correct, and if in doubt, click the link INSIDE of steam, as it'll let you know if it's an official steam site or not before you ever go to the page in question.. Hope this saves people from losing their stuff.. Thanks again, and happy gaming, {B.A.O.}~ThunderDuck~

I've actually been getting invites from bots where it says the accounts are 3 and 4 years old, has 10 or so games though none played recently and all or most of them were free at one point and all do have time played on them and their accounts are not set to private.

I believe these bots are from the winter sale years ago where people created bots to farm coal.
