Steam Account Hi-Jacked

[HappySticks™]

My Steam account got hi-jacked this morning, sent the report to steam support. Everything expensive in my backpack is gone (unusuals, hats, etc)

This really sucks....what will steam support do?

How the fuck did it happen? How did someone gain access to your account?

 

[HappySticks™]

He gave me a link to their profile, or so i thought. It was a phising link and I didnt realize it so when I logged into my account on there, he was able to get all my info, Password, Username, etc.

Without sounding rude, that is the dumbest thing ever. I'm sorry man, but if you fell for that shit, fuck me...

 

[Opie]

steam support should help you out

Dude.. if you open up a chatbox, first thing it says is "Never tell your password to anyone."

I didnt tell anyone my password. It was a Phising link that looked exactly like the www.steamcommunity.com, so when i hit login I typed everything in so. Since its a pphising link he can see it!


So i never told anyone my password

Never give out information to any site that you didn't visit manually or that someone gave you. It's the same thing as not giving the last four digits of your SSN to your 'bank' who calls you notifying you of suspicious activity on your credit card; call the bank yourself.

So let me get this straight:
1 ) Random guy adds and msgs you
2 ) Random guy gives you a link and tells you to login
3 ) You do it
4 ) You just told someone your password

You don't ever have to login or anything. You launch Steam, shit just works. I don't understand how people get confused with this, it's mind-boggling...

However stupid it is, I'm sorry it happened to you man. Lesson learned, I hope.

PM me your username and password and I'll make sure no one gets in your account ever again

I hate to be a dick here, but there's something suspicious about what you are saying:
According to backpack.tf, your backpack is now private, which it should never be when trading. That's a flag right there.

Also according to backpack.tf, you still have them.

But looking at your inventory via Steam, you don't have them.

So which is it?

By the way, I got the item IDs by looking at your backpack history from yesterday.

 

[HappySticks™]

I am unable to access my account, they guy who got my password is like the new me if you want to put it that way.
He changed the email that the Code gets sent to.
What does PM mean?

If ur talking about Brains posts it means PM

 

[HappySticks™]

In order to see who owns the unusuals they must log into on backpack.tf, if he doesnt then it will alwaus appear as if i own it

 

[Gatherix]

Did you not have SteamGuard enabled or something? He/she shouldn't have been able to log into your account, provided you didn't use the same password for your email...
