I find that highly unlikely but there we go.
What is?
That the guy spammed a link through the chat, probably by being in the same group.
What chat? He made it sound like in-game chat, which you can't click on. Why would a 10 year old join a steam group?
the friends chat you don't need them on friends list to get a request just be i na group.
who knows, maybe he joined the official "whatever game it was" group.
I sent snotty email to hosting company of website and the phishing site is now closed
but i am sure the ****** will just move to another
small win

I got a pm through steam last night from a bloke wearing a known (to me!) clan tag, who wasnt on my friends list, offering me a link to just such a website.
Thing is I wouldnt have thought someone from this clan would do that, maybe his account got hacked and then they use his name to spread the messages.

My friends steam account got hacked 1 WEEK before going to LAN.
Fell for the same trick - entered his details into a steam look-a-like site. He submitted the relevent photos etc. Steam took 5 days for they to get his account back to him. Literally 2 days before we were going to LAN lol.
Another guy who occasionaly plays with us got his account banned for something unusual.....
He logged on one day to see that someone had sent him a game as a gift through steam. So he downloaded said game and all was fine until....about 2 days later, he went to login to steam and found it had been banned. Raised a ticket to steam, only to find out that his accoutn had been banned because the game he had been sent with a gift had been bought using a stolen credit card. The credit card company had taken back all purchases made fradulently which left Steam with no money for this game. Because it was associated to his account, they banned it.
The poor chap had a 5 digit SteamID. So he obviously wanted this back. We all tried everything to allow steam to have it back, even offering to pay for said game. But they just kept coming back advising that it states in thier Terms and Conditions never to accept a game gift from someone you dont know, incase it is fraud.
Just be aware!
