Half-Life2.nlによると、Steampoweredからのメールを装って、ユーザーのアカウント情報を聞き出そうとする、おバカな偽Steam E-mailが出回っているそうです。送られてきても絶対に返信しないように。

以下、偽Steam E-mailの内容
引用：

From: "Steam" < accounts@steampowered.com >
Reply-To: "Steam" < steam-validation@mail.com >
To: "---@hotmail.com" < ---@hotmail.com >
Subject: Please validate your Steam Account

Dear Steam User,

In order to continue using Steam you must validate your account by forwarding this message to Steam-validation@mail.com.
You must include your account information in this format in the message:
Username: (your Steam username)
E-Mail: (the email you registered your account to.)
Password: (the password you used to log in to your Steam account.)

Our database will be formatted soon, due to some damage caused by some users. We will need to record our active users and add them to our database once again.

You must validate your account within 30 days or eles your account will get closed. Thank you for your co-operation, Best regards, Steam account Managing Team.
