chitownbob Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I got a notification in my e-mail the other day about thanking me for my Steam Gift Card purchase. How many "clues" can you spot that this looks scammy? Two badly constructed sentences... Not sure what they are trying to say.Signed by "Our company".Sent from paVpalupates.com...with a V instead of a Y.What else did I miss? Oh and the gif is a picture of a physical steam gift card, instead of standard steam gift picture. You can actually see the punch hole it was hanging from... As suggested, turn on Steam Guard. Doesn't everybody use Steam guard? I remember it kept nagging me until I enabled it. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
