Sachys: Aye thats true - on the other hand you'd be complaining about all the cold callers you're getting.
At any rate it does sound like you've been phished / account compromised somehow and thats poo.
May have been covered already but have you "signed in via steam" on any new sites recently?!
Hope you get it sorted at any rate.
PookaMustard: So, are they forcing the phone number for security on new accounts, or is it just optional?
Sachys: No idea about new accounts, but it remains optional for me at least (as optional as a big, green "give us your fucking details now, slave!" banner can be when you open the client) right now.
Haha well, yes, they must think of a cellphone number..receiving cold callers or voice mail password changes on the phone which is used by the whole household would turn out to be creepy^^
And it would be quite ironic since they don't want to be phoned themselves.
I'm already glad I jumped out that Facebook glass house before it has leeched the last data out of me.
And no, I don't have signed in any websites via steam so far.^^
Sachys: they'll be trying to push a mobile contract on you next! ;D
DyNaer: In their dreams :P ; even if i have a cell phone , i won't give them the number
You're on the safe side with that! :D
I once experienced an insurance agent which made an appointment at a doctor's office so he could make a proposal personally and without interference.
So why shouldn't steam have a try x)
