Other SG members and my room mate have had this happen. Link to comment

About phishing links, just always look for the VALVE secure lock before logging in. Edited October 17, 2014 by Pan32 Link to comment

I get it everytime I click on a link to steamgamers, since y'know, it says steam. Link to comment
