account is in danger of being shut down unless immediate actions are taken. For verification
and full control over this account please state your Account Name/PasswordThank you, and
for any questions please refer to steampowered.com.

why would they need your password to verify you if you are breaking the ToS? It doesn't matter who is using the account if the rules are being broken.

It's an obvious scam, dude. Report that UID.

There are NO games that i've played in the last 12 years where anyone from the game's developper will ask for a password! Most i've seen have messages that say "An employee or GM will NEVER ask for your password" (Like in World of Warcraft or Guild Wars, etc.) This is just like the garbage spam e-mails from E-Bay. I DON'T EVEN HAVE AN EBAY ACCOUNT!

Phishing with dynamite.

BTW - I think they're probably more interested in your personal/credit card info than your account.

First they take your steam account, then your credit card and in the end your PC's gone :)

You should never give away passwords to anyone. If steam wants to inform you they don't want to be your steam friend :P.. they send you a mail with what there going to do or something. Without needing your password or anything.

report it, its a obvious scam. It even says when you register on steam that steam admin/staff will never ask you for your user name and password via any automated services and such like.

 

its like the emails going round saying Hotmail is closing down cos they're running out of addresses, and you need to cough up to keep your account, whats is that all about?

Do you really want your account to be shut down?

You all just don't want him to have his account anymore... :non:
