Scamming doesn't limit itself to steam.I don't know how it could do it, I didn't even enter the site, nor I do have steam, never installed steam. =D
It can happen on any game, any forum and any website.

Sometimes they do that for the money they can steal.Scammers these days. Like they have nothing better to do :c
I'm not saying that only those who are dumb fall for scams. In this case, it seems quite obvious that it's a scam; he was constantly pushing you to input your credentials, saying the website, and also said that you hadn't inputted the information but how would he know?Why does everyone keep saying that you have to be extremely dumb to get hacked?
The site looked exactly like the steam site, In-fact I nearly fell for it.
The account that messaged me comes from a diffrent community I also play on, He's a member there and even had influence on the server. He was a smart clever guy and got his account hacked which is now being used for this, That happend half a year ago and there's been 57 reports of people that had this happen to them from that single user.
Yes, Noone fell for it because they knew it was TwoMike (The hacked account) and knew he would never do that, Plus that this guy had the worst english ever.
This is how the site looked, there's no indications to what the site is named in the screenshot and the only indication that could lead to this being a scam was the adress.
I got hacked on WoW, was an idiot for doing it but I learned my lesson in the end and got my account back... with the items and gold the scammer took, it is pretty obvious most of the time but here are my rules of the road...Scamming doesn't limit itself to steam.

Even then, the site probably isn't 'safe' and will try to put a virus onto your computer.. curiosity killed the cat so-to-speakIf anything, enter false info into the site and see what happens. That, or enter your password and change it immediately after.
