Fake Steam Emails

**Vanishedsoul** · 04-01-2010

Be careful when receiving messages from Steam. I received this message this morning claiming i submitted a password reset. I never submitted such a request, but to be safe I changed my Steam password,Steam email, and my email accounts passwords.

here is the fake email:

Dear Steam user (account name: vanishedsoul),

This is an automated message generated by Steam account administration to help you reset your Steam password.

Please enter the following code into the 'Verification Code' field of the 'Forgotten Password' dialog. (Enter the code exactly as written. You can use copy/paste operations to enter the code):

dfasdfsdfasdfasfasdf

Please also enter the *answer* to the following question into the 'Secret Answer' field of the same dialog:

What did customer support last reset your passphrase to?

IMPORTANT: Please do not reply to this message to attempt to reset your password -- that won't work. You must enter the above information into the Steam application.

Signed,

The Steam Support Team
