[gimpy117]

[Buglunch]

The bad spelling and grammar is enough of a tip-off.

[Puddle's Pills]

If you ever have a message asking for your user name and password. It's 110% a scam.
As stated before valve does not ask for that info.

that reminds me of this guy who was in this group, I sent him a friend request and a day later his account is made private, his pic is of STEAM, and his name was changed to STEAM SECRUITY.
