tho im not sure to trust this email as its from a googlemail account
any1 else had this or knows if it aint false
Scam!
Don't reply, do you really think they'd contact you this way?
I see no reason to give out your steam pword ever ..As long as you can still connect to steam and play games walk away...
like a whore in in a lobster farm village .. well fishy :thumbsdownsmileyani
Yup, just look at the active pages about it on Google (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Greg+Coomer+steam+scam).
Never ever give out a password over email, if a company wants you to verify something then log in through their normal portal and never use links from any emails asking you to "Verify your details".
It could also be mentioned that there is no serious company that would even think about asking you for your password. Seeing that in a mail is the #1 proof of a scam.
Blatant scam, as others have said. You can tell that because they are asking for the account details. They wouldn't need to do that!
I shall take all previous comments and precis them:
its bollox, ignore it!
It is a scam.
What I would do is send them about a gazillion of fake answers. Right back at ya! :boxing: Mama said knock you out! I'm gonna knock you out! :boxing: :devil:
What would happen if you keep copy-pasting the emailadress on the top bar?
Would that do the trick Sadako? :g:
Don't reply. It confirms your email address is "valid" and you risk getting lots more spam.
ofcourse i didnt trust it and wasnt thinking of awnsering it but i just wanted to share it :D and it also looks like some ppl in NT* had the same email

:withstupid:
I'd post a mail to steam, with the question if that mail is theirs.:sad:
Steam/valve employees WILL NEVER ASK for your password... NEVER
