Admins I know this has nothing to do with Saints Row but I need to let you guys know. It has to do with steam hijacking it is happening to everyone of my friends. A few days ago my friends account was hijacked and he said something about getting a free game, the url didnt seem supsicious so I clicked it, later the next day I said the same thing to my friend and my pass was changed when I tried to get on. I just want to help and let you guys know what happened to me and most of my friends so it doesnt happen to you, I sent a ticket to steam support, but in the mean time be aware.
 
This has been going on for years. It's nothing new.

Never ever click any links regarding free games on Steam. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.
 
Yeah, I've gotten a ton of emails from Blizzard and serval other MMO games that either said there was some sort of promotion going on or that my account's security had been comprimised so that I'd have to re-validate that it's really mine. Here's how I found out it was fake; you simply press the source from the email sender and check the actual sender IP. Then go Google the shit outta that IP, and you'll find out it's actually a North Korean IP that had sent the email as Blizzard, etc. and somehow had made a false mail. Dunno how it works, but you can affirm that the email isn't from Blizzard by doublechecking the actual IP sender.

This picture was from some gold selling website though and had nothing to do with anyone pretending to be Blizzard, since I shut down my old hotmail so I can't dig those emails up again. But you can check the IP anyway.
